I needed to install the door knob.

However, relying on coroplast to support the door was idiotic.

I rolled UV treatment on most of the greenhouse, but I wonder if that is ever going to dry.

There is residue all over it.

The wind kept making the treatment spill, so I put cinder blocks on top of the bricks I put down, and hoped it would dry overnight.

I woke up early to make breakfast, but Mom left for Church before anything was ready.

Mom really likes to party late. I was the first one to go to bed at 03 and then I woke up at 0730. I looked up a french toast recipe and I think that took far too long.
I was exhausted.
I laid down for a nap as soon as we came home and got up around 3.

I heard Mom banging around in the kitchen, so I got up to help, but she said she ripped the door off "that stupid structure you built on my lovely garden box."
"The greenhouse?"
"Whatever."

I removed the roofing screws, cut a 1×2, and screwed it into the door frame and rafter, and then another one on the inside of the 2x4 on the inside of the door.

The huge screws in the bottom right of the door frame didn't hold up to the torque of the 2x4. One bust through the wood and the other bent, so I pulled them and screwed one 2x4 across the bottom.

This time I used a c clamp with a piece of wood protecting the coroplast. It straightened the corner nicely.

It was twisted before when I used quick clamps.

It is still twisted on the other side, so at some point I need to pull those screws, tap in and glue some dowels, buy and use a corner clamp to square that corner, drill new holes, and put the screws in right this time.
It looks all right for now, but when it gets cooler and I start putting clear duct tape all over, I need to seal up the long rip from Mom pulling the door off the greenhouse.
