Hi Robin!
We could not be more delighted! It has exceeded our expectations by far. Your attention to detail is astonishing and we could not believe how hard you worked in somewhat adverse weather conditions! The end result perfectly enhances this old house and matches the style, we believe, of the original lean-to which had to be demolished many years ago. We enjoyed your company immensely and we're so glad we found you! Come back to see us when all is in full bloom and we'll admire your craftsmanship together! Best wishes, Sue. Have just visited my sister Mrs Sue Walters in Lockerbie. What a brilliant job you have done with the greenhouse. Absolutely perfect! Well done! |

The greenhouse has been much admired - we just need to finish the rest of the garden to the same standard! Glad to see your move has come off and you're going to have lots of space. Best wishes Dean & Eileen |

15/8/2018 09:17:03 amShould any prospective customers worry about hiccups on a build, rest assured that NOTHING stops Robin! He starts early, finishes late and is a really meticulous professional. Repeatedly running the length of the garden with a loaded barrow to push the job along did seem a bit excessive though. Can’t apologise enough for Neo’s Intervention when he saw Robin running in the garden, went bonkers, jumped up and nipped him on the leg. 🤭 “A mere flesh wound” responded Robin. Then cracked on. Neo watched from the closed patio doors from then on. Sorry. Again. Thoroughly enjoyed our chats while rendering some doubtless mildly incompetent ‘assistance’ from time to time so I can justify saying I was involved in the build. |

Dear Robin, I’ve just been to have another peek. I feel like a kid with a new trainset. Now installed the plants and taken a couple of snaps which I hope does the greenhouse the justice it deserves. Please use them as you wish. Suffice to say Allyson and myself are hugely delighted with the greenhouse. It has exceeded our highest expectations. Thank you so much for your skills and hard work. Thank you for your card etc. I have returned the Guild of Master Craftsman Questionnaire describing my satisfaction. Thank you again. Best Bob |

Hi Robin
Thought you might like to see how wonderful the greenhouse looks now. It is as though it has been there forever.
Hope you are well and busy
Regards
Suzan and David
Hi Robin
Great to hear about all your new developments and if everyone loves their greenhouse as much as we do you will bring joy to many. Another wee snap with the greenhouse subtly setting the scene this time . Garden needed the greenhouse focal point ... plants thriving on David's brother's farm manure and the additional shelter and warmth from the greenhouse.
Feel free to use on FBI or whatever

Robin Mc Gregor builds exactly what you desire to your requirements. A well constructed greenhouse, good materials, great finish, I cannot find fault with the quality of his work. You will not find better. Jon |

Dear Robin,
Sorry this card is a little overdue! No prizes for guessing where I’ve been! We are absolutely loving the greenhouse or, as I call it, my favourite place! It has exceeded all of our expectations it really has. I’ve wasted no time in moving the plants in as well as the furniture! It’s a joy to be in there and we really do appreciate it after all the hard work you put into it. I hope you’ll have some time to do yours and enjoy it as much, you really deserve it.
The blue plaque is on order and I’ll send you a photo when we’ve put it on:- “Mr McGregor’s greenhouse”. It’ll look great! I have just seen the new video! Absolutely love it. You’ve done it brilliantly, capitured it perfectly! Especially the rain!! Music – fantastic too! I’ve not heard Belle & Sabastian for years now, it’s real music, love it. I know it takes a long time to put all these things together so we really are grateful to be able to watch it (over and over!).
I hope you’ve had a good couple of weeks and that the Shropshire one went well. Also you said it was your son’s 13th Birthday so I hope you had a long rest and a lovely Birthday weekend after leaving here.
Apologies to Jo for us keeping you an extra day – twice! Ironically we’ve had sunshine since – typical eh.
Anyway, take care, Thanks again, love Paul and Hayley.

Hi Robin
Just to say how pleased I am with the greenhouse and how much we have enjoyed having it. As well as overwintering pots, growing some plants from seeds, bringing on some plug plants, potting bulbs, growing some tomatoes, etc:
1. We have had breakfast in it several times when it is too cold or wet to have it outside: we keep the ‘outside’ toaster in it!
2. My son has used it as a workshop to rebuild his bike.
3. It is beautiful structure in the garden, we even light it at night as part of the garden lighting!
4. Some garden stuff gets stored in it.
All these ‘extra’ things have been possible because of the solid concrete floor you had to make because of the old shed base there – you remember that was the first problem you had to solve but it has worked out really well for me and the concrete seems to soak up the water as well as any gravel!
I love it! Thanks so much.
Hope you are well and are having a good summer.
Cheers
Steve

Sent: 23 April 2015 17:41 To: Robin Subject: Greenhouse/Bristol Hi Robin Since returning from holiday I have spent many hours enjoying my super new greenhouse. It is now full of plants, vegetables and flowers all thriving in their perfect environment. I thought you might like to see a recent photo which I have attached. Thank you again for all your hard work. Best wishes, Gill |

I built Miriam's first greenhouse in October 2012.

From: Miriam Subject: Re: Visit Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2015 17:30:03 +0100 To: robin@green-bug.co.uk Hi Robin, Long time no speak. I hope all is well with you. I wanted to ask a question - we are thinking of moving house, and wondered if it is possible to take the greenhouse with us? Can it be disassembled and then reassembled with new footings at a new property, or would we need to start from scratch? Either way, we’d want a green-bug greenhouse wherever we end up :D Good wishes, Miriam |

Sent: 20 June 2013 21:07 To: Robin McGregor Subject: Mike and Sandra Shropshire Hi Robin Already planted tomatoes, chilli peppers, sweet peppers, strawberries and lettuce. All doing really well. Flagstones and gravel have worked well. Photos attached. We are delighted with the job, it sits perfectly in the garden and is much admired. If you have people who want to look at your work we would be happy to show them round. If you are passing be sure to call in. Best regards Mike and Sandra |

Hi Robin Many thanks for everything - we're going to have a wonderful time in the greenhouse, and I don't believe we could have found a design or build anywhere that would have suited our cottage and garden better. So glad we spotted your website when we did. Best regards Jayne and Andy (Heritage Cost Consultants, Glos) |

Hi Robin,
Just thought I'd send you an updated photo of the greenhouse, not had as much time as I'd like in there, but already have loads of geraniums, cucumbers, tomatoes on the go and even aubergines and peppers coming on! Feel free to use it if you want, and Interflora have already been using it as a backdrop for next years summer shots...knew they would! Hope you are all well and keeping busy...if all your customers are as pleased as I am you'll go far! Love Di |

Sent: 09 May 2012 12:22 To: Robin McGregor Subject: Martin's new toy...... Hi Robin - we have been busy stocking up the 'green' house. Everything is working perfectly and we had a champagne opening celebration with friends over the weekend! (they are all very envious!!). The utube films are really good - love the music selections. Thanks again Robin for your attention to detail and for a really great addition to our new home. Pop in any time you are in the area for a bacon butty! regards Christine and Martin. |
Hi Robin,
Thanks for my amazing green house as you can see I've made a good start. I thought you might appreciate the photos. Thanks Nathan

It really is a work of art……more beautiful than I had envisaged! The attention to detail is superb. Half the village have been up to view it….I wouldn’t be surprised if you were down this way again, building another for our neighbours! Hope you had a good journey home. Kind regards and many thanks, Claire |
