I knew sacrificing that black cockerel in the pentgram would work - those Dennis Wheatley books were well worth the money

What's wrong with a bit of spell casting ? Good fun if you ask me . Now back to the subject of greenhouse bodging. I've acquired two green houses one 8 x 8 and the other 8 x 6 and I'd like to join then together to make one big greenhouse. Anyone got any ideas for a method? Ta

Join the 8' faces of each together. Should give you 8'x14' if my maths are correct. Joining an 8' side to the 6' side would give you a 2' gap, which could be adapted as a door, or maybe just a pleasing feature-style break in that elevation. Or if you centre the 6' side on the 8' side, you could have a 1' gap on either side, which might be nice. Or if you put the smaller one on top, it would create a 'telescope' effect, similar to C13th church towers prevalent in the Brabant. I'll keep reading the Pevsner.

Hey John - where's the pictures of the greenhouse erection? (Sorry this isn't spam).

Intending to take the camera round today - Larry called last night just as it was dark and helpfully told me that the strong wind yesterday has twisted it.
Poured with rain here yesterday as well

Yes it's a howling gale here today too. Just did a bit of harvesting and left the weeds to their own devices. Surprising how quickly they grow isn't it?
My imaginary greenhouse is coming on well. Just have to get out of the realms of fantasy now.

John · « **Reply #27 on:** September 03, 2006, 22:20 »

Well mine is less imaginary today - just needs the glass and the door fitting

Then the second greenhouse will come on site.
Boy am I tired.

Our site secretary has given me permission to put up a greenhouse - and she's tipped me off for vacant plots with potentially useful wood and bricks going loafing.
I have no excuse now.
I wish I had some leave left. Weekends aren't really long enough.
