It's not here yet.  Might have to borrow JayG and his extra long orangutan arms to help build it. :)

Not long enough, I'm afraid, hence step ladder and cut hand. :(  (the ARMS, thank you matron! :tongue2:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

well, have base and part of the structure built - rest to do tomorrow, though rain is forecast. grrr.
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

Of course! (Tip: use a low camera angle and it will look bigger than Ice's!)  8)  ;)

Did you forget to specify which day you wanted them to deliver next to?  ::)


(I know how you feel - I was so excited I still managed to be nice to the delivery man who was supposed to arrive after 1000 but actually woke me up just after 0700!)   :ohmy:

hmm, will take photo or two tomorrow - good plan JayG re low angle. It might also make Ted the tabby look like a Tiger - let's see what I can do  :lol:

how irritating is that Ice? Grrr specially when you are waiting around all day  - you can't settle to anything can you?

Sounds like one of my brothers.  If he says he'll be there tuesday you have to ask 'which' tuesday. ::)  But then he is a builder. :lol:

I have been looking as well, polycarb looks best. Found  Nison greenhouses have a locking system for the panels, no clips. This looks like a good system, has anyone got one?

Still nothing and no reply to my email.  Waiting over an hour for a call back about delivery today.  Getting a sinking feeling about it all. :(

After googling the company I am now very worried after reading some of the awful stories out there regarding delivery, damaged goods and customer service issues.  Might have to name and shame the company if they don't deliver the goods.  They've already broken the contract by failing to deliver last friday. >:(

This greenhouse was meant to cheer me up. ::)

Well there's bad news and good news.  The greenhouse I ordered has been discontinued and is out of stock. ::)  I have accepted an upgrade at no extra cost which is in stock and will be here tomorrow or the day after.  It's the one I wanted in the first place but couldn't justify the extra money. :)

Eyes and fingers crossed.
