Final touches with the Ontario Plant Propagators! The last finishing work on the greenhouse was completed this week, which means that construction has ended. The screen installation is ready; the fabric is pulled later when the concrete floors are poured.
The warehouse is also making good progress: the sandwich deck and gables are ready.

The gables are almost finished at Pure Flavor in Staples (ON); the latter is currently being assembled. In addition, there was plenty of activity in the greenhouse in the past week. Voorwinden is busy pulling the crop threads. JV Energy is busy hanging and welding the 51mm pipes and with the construction of the hot water storage tank. Third ring is finished. All in all it is already starting to look like a cultivation facility!
