Below, Erik's rockwork greenhouse nearing completion, May 25, 2008. Notice the vent at the far left of the rockwork structure (left of the not-yet-installed door), which will be driven by a solar-powered fan running from the rear of the building. (Note also the remarkable quality of Erik's rockwork, a trademark of his construction craftsmanship.) (Click on the image for a better one.)
