I'm impressed will it be a greenhouse or glass sided potting shed/greenhouse?

Better get a sheet of vinyl or ply sheet on the floor, else  it will be bit draughty around the ankles. 8)

Not to mention any little critters that might want to move into a new home  ;D

Very clever mrf94,You have me thinking now! I have about a dozen extra length pallets at the top of my garden which i knew would come in handy one day. I`m inspired. Look forward to seeing more pix as you progress.Now wheres that pencil and pad.........

Thanks for the praise,  one thing our allotment doesnt seem short of
is bricks, So the walls being  hollow as it were, my thought is to ? pack/ stack bricks inside the back wall and use them as a heatsink, i allso thought about something like rockwool to pack the rest  but i think the price may beat me on that one, hopefully the front will be all glass , its facing south so my head says it should work heres hoping the reality
 does .

I got the back and sides done now, as well as the top cross member.








Believe it or not the roof was dilivered to my works this morning,

a huge packing crate12 foot long and each side 2ft 6 inch wide.

Wow this is shaping up great, cannot wait to see the finished project. I think you should have contacted Kevin McCloud and gone on *Grand Designs* program  ;D
