*What: Volunteers needed for replacing old plastic with new plastic Where: SVSU Greenhouses 7525 North Michigan Road When: Friday, September 11, 2009 at 9:00am Why: Weather permitting (no rain or strong winds), we are in need of some good workers that would be willing to help us take off the old plastic and put on the new plastic. It's that time of year again for the greenhouse to be prepared to handle freezing temperatures. This new plastic has special characteristics that has more heat retention, UV inhibitors, and non-collecting condensate properties. We are excited to replace the 5 year old material which has held up well, but is degraded to the point of a replacement being warranted.I can only speculate how long this should take, but if you can help at all and however long you are able to, it would be greatly appreciated. To put up all 4 sheets the first time, it only took us 2 full hours (We had good help). I would think it should not take as long this time since the first time is usually the hardest. Plan on a maximum two hour time commitment, just to be on the safe side. We will have pizza and drinks at the end once everything has been completed. |
