Snowy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 How is yours coming on Egluntine? OH has laid the slabs for mine today, but we need to borrow my Dad's angle grinder to trim some of the slabs so that I can have an earth bed inside. We also need to fill in the spaces between the slabs (some are quite large ) It's a good start though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Mine is an Eden too and I am very, very pleased with it, enjoy your new greenhouse Mollystar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well mine is destined to never get built now. I have decided to return it and get a summer house for our allotment instead. That way we can use it a bit like a shed so we remove the garden tool clutter from OH workshop (he liked this idea a lot) plus when we are there with the boys they can play there (has a small veranda) and we can keep some toys there) have furniture and our BBQ there so we can sit and relax and spend the day pottering around and enjoying it.

Valkyrie Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Watching your produce grow in comfort, sounds very relaxing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 We are making good progress! The slabs are laid and cut to size, the frame is built - there are some green things to put on the frame that hold the 'glass' in place and we are 4 pieces short so waiting for them to arrive from the manufacturer. Then it just needs bolting down and my raised bed putting in. Won't be long!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 How will you celebrate the grand opening? Will you smash a bottle of champagne over the apex and name it? Good luck to all who sow in her? Perhaps drink the champagne and dash off for some potting compost (not in that order though, just in case)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I don't know about smashing a bottle of champagne, but I might just make a point of christening it in the rain with a glass of red! It'll be nice to be able to sow whatever the weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
