Project end nearly

Before



After



There you are , deliberately had the light reflection on the glass to prove it had glass in it

1 =So it was taking down old log store
2=clearing away about 30/40 bags of rubble /roof tiles etc
3 =-the wood part of the structure to dump 8x4 trailer full
4=- getting the paving slabs 8 x96 lb in weight each
5=Digging down for foundation
6= getting and mixing sharp sand and cement for foundations
7= cutting 2 slabs in half to make base width needed
8= laying and levelling slabs
9= sorting out all the metal strip parts of greenhouse
10= putting down meatel base
11= actual skeleton build
12= squaring and levelling everything not even a mm to be out of true
13= inserting glass roof and sides
14 =checking doors run smooth (one still to adjust)

On top of that there was next doors tree branch to cut down
making brick path wider by digging out grass and laying bricks on sharp sand.

As well as all that we were limited to just 6 bags(25kg each) of rubble to the local council tip a month so we went to two tips as well. that took more trips than I care to even think about.

Heeheehee wishful thinking, my father in law never did a thing for landscaping except keep the grass mowed. The good news is all the leaves and grass piled to the house corners turned into the most wonderful mulch over the years. I can grow anything in this soil. The bad news was the porch, brickwork and surrounding trim were allowed to rot. Ah well, good excuse to teach my son heavy duty yard work right?

Just another view. It fitted into the space well that we (I) had thought of. Just cleared the fence at the back and the grape vine on the side
