No... about 3 years.  Plenty long enough.  The sun destroyed the heavy 
duty tarp which destroyed the solid maple jeweler's bench I built in 
college.  I still have the top but it is nuked.  I will build another. 
I can get rock maple here, jointed and planed to dimension for $2.25 bd-ft.

Speaking of buildings... I have a question for the learned members of 
this forum.  I just came into a 20x50 greenhouse for next to nothing. 
It is a defunct commercial building, heated, plumbed, has power and all 
that.  Is there any special orientation to which the building should be 
set when I put it up?  Should the long axie go N-S?  E-W?  I am going to 
pour a footing and a 4' apron all around, then 4 courses of block and 
the glass framing atop that.

Any information would be very much appreciated.  I am very much looking 
forward to putting this up.
