 I'm building the base for a "Bruce" greenhouse this week. My customer also wants a raised bed along the whole back wall which I've tied into the main structure walls. Other contractors will be laying the flooring over this area before I come back.    
 Nice and close to home for this one. I'm building a "Miriam" greenhouse for a customer only about 40 minutes drive away. We had heavy storms this week - enough to make them newsworthy. I put the gazeebo up and then rescued what was left of it first thing in the morning. It did the job of protecting the brickwork though.   
 Hi Robin
Glad you got home safely. We are already enjoying the greenhouse which really is a piece of high quality craftsmanship. Many thanks Douglas  I had to make a few trips to build the base - given all the constant heavy rain we've been having I was rained off a couple of times. I have a gazeebo but it's not big enough to cover this area. However, I used it as a chance to bring full loads in the van of the completed greenhouse.  I couldn't finish laying the flooring given all the constant rain so I decided to build the structure and use the roof covering as shelter to get on and complete the floor. 
 This week was a struggle! The rain didn't stop beating down for a solid 13hours. However, I carried on as there was so much soil and turf to remove and take to another part of the garden. Thankfully we had a short break in the weather on Friday morning and I managed to complete everything, It looks such a state now it's hard to imagine it looking complete and tidy - but you'll have to as it was pelting it down once I finished and couldn't get another photo! I'll be back here soon though.  
   This is a proper building site at the moment - JCB's digging trenches, a barn being erected, the swimming pool just finished. Thankfully, given all the mud, I am building directly on to a concrete plinth for the base of this greenhouse. Unfortunately it was a little smaller than planned so I'll have to return to complete the walls once the builders have extended the plinth by another 1 metre.     It was great to get back here to install this greenhouse and I only just made it as the van was playing up for the whole journey. As it turned out I broke down on the return journey - at 7pm Friday night on the M6 in Brum! Not fun - but it wasn't raining and the AA got me home by around 2am.  I got this wonderful photo and a card from my customers....  Robin, I just want to thank you so much for the absolutely superb glass-house you have built me! Your level of professionalism and incredibly high standards are obvious to see! We are so thrilled with it - I'm in there every day, even though the weather has not been kind enough for me to dig out a bed around it! Or for Cliff to do the path! Thank you so much! Ali and Cliff x  |
