A New Greenhouse is Born

The new greenhouse is now up, though the mess around it is unfortunatley still there.

The greenhouse was a breeze to put up. It only took 2 hours to put up the frame which comes in only 6 pieces. Sliding in the glass took a bit longer, but everything was up in two days. We were lucky with the weather as some wind would have cause some dificulty with the roof panes which are quite large.

To avoid the weeds we had in the old greenhouse , we built a raised bed, which will be used for tomatoes. and paved the rest. We used recycled slabs from an old patio near the house and, to avoid cutting the slabs, gravel at the edges.

The old green house is relocated to the allotment, but this is another story ....

New Greenhouse Almost There

The new greenhouse arrives this weekend, and we managed to beat the wather this weekend and clear the area, looks rather empty know.

The old greenouse moved to the allotment, but the base is still there and needs to go by Wednesday when the building of the new base starts (no we will not do it ourselves, I am still a bit scared of concrete ..., so a local contractor will do the job).

As you may have noticed the shed is missing from it's usual place by the fence. We managed to move it to it's permanent place on the new patio.


We managed this by sliding the shed on deck planks using furniture wheels, we happened to have in the garage, and which we never used before.
It's hard work to get all four corners on the wheels, but once they were on it's almost plain sailing.
