Who's a clever boy then?  But it looks more like a sunhouse to me and I can just see me in there with my feet up whilst you do the digging.   ;D

EXCELLENT!!! I'm very impressed, I'm hoping to do similar myself so it's really interseting to see someone elses achievement.

I never had never built anything from wood-not even a stool! My first project was a greenhouse-well dive in at the deep end?.

It was when I had lotties in Leeds-if you look closely at my avatar you can just see it. It looks better from a distance and I did have to buy most of the wood and glass but it was a lot cheaper than any equivalent to buy

congrats for it its looking good..... very annoyed by the weather last summer,  i've done one myself last autumn and its coming very handy. i made a mistake using corrugated pastic for the roof which snapped off very easy and made a mess. so i invested in the good the stuff very strong plastic sheets... mean to be stronger than glass.... not cheap but was worth it. my greenhouse is huge and still costed peanuts compare to the ones in the market which are very fragile. and please no glass. just took over a plot is full of broken glass ... real pain to clear up. enjoy.

Hey Tibo and Gen....When I went in to water the greenhouse the other day I was well impressed with the toms...I put some gear in my incinerator this afternoon and noticed your car outside my house when I came in...sorry I did not say hi...I guess it was to wet to take the motor in.

Take Care

Excellent four sides there.

Tell me, is that a flat roofed greenhouse?
