how to collect your greenhouse
« on: December 06, 2008, 17:28 »
We put our old greenhouse on freecycle and after a couple of emails we chose this one person to come and get it ,they arrived at 1 pm complete with a full boot of shopping a heavily pregnant woman 2 kids and three adults all squashed in to there frontera. They proceeded to dismantle the greenhouse and after smashing 4 panes of glass I had to go and help them and show them how to take of the clips and cut the silicon , but something wasnt right and after going to inspect the trailer i went and asked them if they intended to strip the 8 ft by 6 ft greenhouse down ,no they said looking at me daft thats why we have brought the trailer .after i explained that the greenhouse was 8 ft long and there trailer was only 6 ft long and 4 ft wide ,this was then met with a stunned silence but they carried on loosening the bolts and got the greenhouse carried up to the road complete with some glass still in and the roof still on .Now this i had to see 1st it was lifted on width ways but wouldnt go on the back of the trailer and was sticking out a lot each side and on narrow lanes this was a no no, they then put it on its side on top of the trailer this meant the roof was sticking out a good 3 ft. this is when i said turn it upside down and use the sides to hold it in this was done and looked so funny i had to get the camera ,but the best bit is that they made it home over 20 miles on lanes intact with all the glass they didnt manage to smash on top of the shopping , please look and comment[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]                              ps ive never had it this wide before what have i done wrong
If the early bird gets the worm how come the 2nd mouse to the trap gets the cheese ??

Your pic sizes are a little large at 1024px × 768px, they should be around 640x480 in size  :D ,
