A "Richard" in North Yorkshire

I battled over the Pennines into North Yorkshire this week - the traffic slowed to 15mph in some parts due to snowfall.

However, I arrived into sunshine and mostly calm weather in North Yorkshire.

This greenhouse is the "Richard" - the smallest greenhouse I do.  It's quite popular where space is limited or if used for limited growing/potting up or housing just a few choice plants.  However, it's also very tall so you get quite a lot of vertical space.

My customers were very keen to use local reclaimed bricks for the base so on the first day I travelled to the salvage yard with my customer and we chose the best bricks we could find (after a bit of sifting and sorting through).

For the floor we re-used some beautiful old quarry tiles my customer has had for many years - and we had just the right amount for the floor.  I laid them on a full 3" bed of dry mixed sharp sand / cement and I'll brush through the joints with kiln dried sand when I come back here in a couple of weeks.
