our green house is old, its a wood frame building, home made, glass and basically falling apart, in truth its wouldnt pass many saftey tests.
In the old days it was twice as big, had a wood burner in it and was in a word a good place to explore as a child.
We havent really repared it since dad died, because in truth both mum and myself dont like handling glass. this is why its been repared with plastic sheets, wood and anything else that will plug up a hole.
today i decide to clean the glass, because i have to say green house name would be a house thats green with moss and muck.
Now its very bright, i had a good old scrub in and out, i just hope the dirt isnt holding it together.
in a way we have two green houses or rather three placed together, doors on either end, the far end is where wumpy and dumpy are now living, at the end of the tomato plants. Thats a fairly safe green house, not many panes missing.
and the other end is where we pot the plants. We have a heating divise that keeps the place snug in the winter. Dad made idea with fire bricks bricks. ;D
the other part, is basically empty, because in truth it is rather crappy now, and it leaks due to half the roof being missing.
But i have started to patch it up now, and am going to make it into the old potting house again.
In truth where we keep out pots isnt the best place due to the fact you have to bend down and kneel under to get them.
with a little stormy DIY, it should be ok.
We have also decided to make it chicken proff, because we are going to put the chucks in there in the winter, they remove all the bugs and fertilise the place.
so tommorow im doing some more.
me with a hammer theres a scary thought ;D
