Greenhouse arrived mid day

Greenhouse arrived at noon so spent right up to now trying to assemble it. What an absolute pig as well to do. I don't think the instructions were much good either, must be at least 50 metal sections not the mention the glass. Still most of the skeleton is done now, just got the sliding doors and a bit more metal work then the glass. They say 2 people 2 days work, yes if you know where everything fits but more like 3 or 4 days for us

Much better than a flash gun and not that expensive the batteries cost loads more

Meg not really just something for both of us. No doubt you have been following the saga from the log store to present day. So now nearing the end of the project. at long last. Hopefully not having damaged to grape vine that will give us more in the future

Been down the council tip this morning with yet another trailer full of garden rubbish at least 10 bags and huge plant bush roots. Then another go at the greenhouse, took ages to get the window opening right. it would help if the instructions were at least as good as Akai

The instructions if you have looked do not even follow in a logical order.


The thing is now there is too much emphises on getting university qualifications and not enough on practical side of things.

If I was the PM I would scrape universities straight away and increase the number of technical colleges. That way hands on experience is worth a thousand times more than reading about how to do something from a book.
