Thanks for all the advice. I will pick up the plastic ASAP.  I probably won't be able to get enough for all 6 buildings, but I will get enough to cover the major $$ crops.  Maybe after more money has been made, I can buy another roll.

Big ditto to the advice below.  If you are dependent on hoophouses/greenhouses of any sort....ALWAYS have back-up supplies stashed.  I buy two inflation fans, poly rolls, patch tape etc.  Remember that storms in the south-particularly Florida-can hit those growers and make equipment hard to get even when you are under blue skies, sunshine and just ordering replacements.  Seems pricey when you are ordering, but incredibly cheap on a stormy day in January. (or June or July or or or...)

Having lost our plastic twice (though when it was very cold) I now keep an extra roll on hand.  A small price to pay in order to wake up and have plastic back on the house the very next day, it is cheap insurance.
