It was all a bit stressful, but we finished the greenhouse at the weekend. Really pleased, but the instructions were a bit vague!

Next job: plant raspberry canes and make raised beds.

Thank you. There were times when I wished we had too!!!

Like finishing the back and then realising we'd left the louvre out - and having to do it again...

And like just trying to understand often conflicting instructions. Talking of which, I'm going to make some suggestions about how these can be improved. SWMBO said it wasn't just a 'man thing' with the instructions - she thought they were cr*p too.

But that said, the product itself is fantastic.

They said they'd slip me a fiver if I said that...

OH SH*T!!! I KNEW WE'D FORGOTTEN SOMETHING!!!
































Metal bits go down into holes in the ground at each corner, and these have been filled with cement. So it's not going anywhere. Fingers crossed.
