This is where we finished the first day. Having my brother and his small excavator, we got a lot of work done in one day. Around 30 yards of soil were removed. The tanks were installed for 2 reasons. 1, to hold back the 1 1/2 feet of soil all the way around. 2, the tanks are filled with water and give mass to the greenhouse. This mass will help to regulate the temps inside, up or down. The concrete tanks have my goldfish in them. Stray bugs that fall in the water are history.
