Rain and mud in Rotherfield

Well the rain carried on here and the mud soon built up and coated everything - I spent as much time washing things down as I did fitting it.   But it was all built in the end and by Friday morning I was washing all my tools down and packing the van ready to come back for Christmas. 

     Happy Christmas everyone!

Bit of work for the owners yet to do sorting out paths and raised beds around the greenhouse but they’ll soon get there and it will look amazing.  I’ve been promised some photos of the finished job

You can imagine what this build was like.

Mary & Tony - Shropshire

Tony’s an accomplished builder who has just completed converting a barn into a beautiful home - oak framed, cast iron roof windows, sandstone flooring.  Now onto the outside space - this greenhouse is going to love it here.
I’ve just started one for a professional builder this week - now there’s the test!

Tony was very happy so I think I’ve passed - but don’t drop your guard eh.  Plenty more of these greenhouses yet to build!  Thanks to all of you for getting in touch.

Marking out the plot with battens to get it in the right place

....after.It was a couple of days of hard graft trying to get this done before the storms hit the uk - and they did.  I got it done although the last day was a 14 hour shift!
Ready for my return visit in the new year putting the structure on top.

Millbrook cottages is getting the bug

3/12/2011

The wonderful folk at Millbrook Cottages (beautiful, tranquil holiday retreat - follow this link to their website) asked me to design a greenhouse to nestle among their high-tech luxury stone-built cottages.

This place is gorgeous.  However, setting the greenhouse on such a slope meant considerably more work than usual - the walls rise from the standard 7 courses at one end to 14 (chest high) at the other - so I’ll need to level off the interior with hardcore chippings before laying the sandstone flags requested.
This greenhouse adapts the popular porch design being 7m long rather than 5

Sorry that I couldn’t get photos of the finished article - the light went at 3:30pm.

One of the owners shouted over on completion “Robin, it looks fantastic!” and I was elated as I packed away my tools “...just like a fort”. 

Well, it’s only halfway there - I’ll be back in the new year and you’ll all be happy then eh!
