25th August 2024
It was not the perfect day to erect a new greenhouse, the humidity was high and the slightest exertion was a sweaty experience.
The good news was someone wanted our old greenhouse, we laid out the framework and cover on the driveway ready for collection.
When the truck arrived a Dad and his son climbed out of the cab. The lad was using crutches, as he had broken his leg. The greenhouse was for him to build up his flower growing side hustle. We were happy that it was going to be used for some benefit.
Once they had left, I had to start on the new build.
The footprint was slightly different meaning I had to rebuild the foundation pads to fit the new wooden frame that the greenhouse will sit on.
It was hot work, the clothes I was wearing were soaking wet, very unpleasant.
As soon as everything was level and square, it was pool time.
Was that refreshing? I could have remained there for the rest of the day, but I wanted to set the greenhouse floor frame out before stopping for the day, with yet another set of wet clothes.
