    At the risk of sounding too "current", I shall say, "Me too".

    Today's work. Does not look much, but we had to do a lot of preparation work before putting up the sides and ends.

    Coming along nicely. Looks to be a nice size for the coming spring plantings.

    Again does not seem much, but fitting the Auto vent thing took ages. Not going to fit the other one we have, until I see if that one works.
    Glass and screwing the whole thing to the floor next.

    No photos, but we have begun to put the glass in. I did manage to break one, toughened glass, exploded all over the place. Fortunately I found some PVC sheeting in the attic which I cut to size and fitted. Not done much today, it has rained all day.

    Nothing again today. It was far too windy to be messing with huge panes of glass. Weather forecast is for strong winds until Wednesday, so an enforced rest. Wall paper stripping here we come.

    Well done, Palu.
    That greenhouse looks quite smart.

    Spent much of the day finishing off the staging. One is supposed to nail the wooden battens down, but I was a bit worried about using a hammer in the greenhouse so I decided to screw them down. Only 212 screws to put in.

    Harder than it should have been. No matter how we tried we could not get the roof glass to fit as it is supposed to do. It is about 1/4 of an inch too long and in any case once the cushioning material is in place, there is no way of getting the glass to slide under the lip which it is supposed to do. Fortunately I had some clips from a previous greenhouse which are designed to hold glass panes in place. Once the glass is fastened in it cannot move so not a problem, it just slowed the job considerably.
    Finished now. the staging is constructed and in place. Even got plants in there now!

    Have been busy again. We are now removing the hedge at the top of the garden to replace it with a fence once this Virus malarkey is over.
