Examples

1. As soon as that was done, I created more supporting laths for the roof which I mounted to the front and back side of the greenhouses roof.

2. So I mounted the wood laths left and right next to the belt with the help of screws and metal brackets and then secured the roller, rods and springs into place.

3. Next I measured the lengths of those required laths, cut them with the jigsaw and positioned them all around the greenhouse before I finally secured them in place with more metal brackets and screws.

4. My dad never made it through college and apprenticed as a lath and plaster carpenter.
