Thanks Lorna, think it may be needed!

Lorna, I think I would definitely go out the day they do it.    In saying that though, if all the glass is held in with the w clips & there are enough of them to do the change quite swiftly I would think you will be OK. I hate doing jobs that involve glass.!!! Good luck.  Let us know the outcome.

I would start looking into what kind of staging or benching you want or need as you won't want them all sat on the ground. I have a magpie problem with skips in the village, always have to take a peek. I got 2 sets of dexion shelving from a skip when they were clearing out their garage. It sounds naff I know, but it was in perfect condition, he just said he didn't want it any more? Went to B&Q & got some mesh & a friend had some weldmesh, so now have excellent benches in 2nd greenhouse for a pittance. Staging & benches can be expensive so if YOH is diy'ish you could save money there. Believe me you will want to be stood up for pricking out & potting up/on. So keep that in mind.

Mmm true. Lack of skips around here though!! Will go and trawl around the local dump, get some real bargains there. They were selling cast iron gates for £1!!! Right about staging, don't really want to be grovelling around in mud!! Thanks Lottie

  Keep eyes & ears open for friends getting rid of shelving too, but the dump sounds good. They rescue stuff at ours & sell it to you at a small price, Then pocket the money.

I googled and found a website with instructions on how to build your own polytunnel.  My OH read through it and thought it looked quite easy (I rolled my eyes at that point 

It's on www.powen.freeserve.co.uk/Projects/polytunnel/polytunnel.htm

I think there's info on there to build a coldframe too
