Grand Design Revisited




Last year we had bought a really cheap greenhouse, which was a huge mistake because the glass was plastic most of the parts didn't fit and the instructions were so complicated it might as well of been hieroglyphics. So we saved up and waited for the sale time and bought one from GROWHOUSE. Which are the nicest company in the world. This greenhouse is amazing we have had mini tours for everybody who has come round to our house. Unlike the last one that we only got to the frame stage, this one has drain pipes, insulation on the doors, windows!! shelving, handles for the door, it is fantastic. We have already packed it full of tomatoes, melons, peppers seedlings, basil and chillies.

Grand Designs Part 1

Me and my Mother have bought a greenhouse. To save money we got a flat pack one also instead of glass, it has plastic. Classy. So we unpacked it and found the instructions which are so complicated we might as well be building the Beijing Olympic arena.
We cleared a space for the foundations which was already there which used to be for our shed.That rotted and got taken over by rats.
We had to clear off what was on the foundations. Allot of unused pots.
Then the stupidest tables in the world. Pure slate must be the heaviest things i have ever lifted in my life.
The first part of the structure only took about three hours and i am not exaggerating.
We got much further on with the first half of the structure.
There is the finished structure. I extremely happy to get this far especially because it only took 8 hours. We are now waiting for a non windy day to put the plastic on, because they might all blow away.
