Wow Lottie that looks magnificent - may you have many hours of fun in it now!  It will make a brilliant addition to your lottie and mean you can grow more wonderful things.  Well done!  Now you need a bottle each of radox and wine to have a long soak and rest your aching back!

Thanks all!! Still grinning, though back stiffening up nicely now.......Going to take your advice Tulippa...long bath and glass (or 2 ;D!) of wine. Next project on list, is expanding lottie, which involves rabbit proofing it, which involves........digging ***** trench!!! Lottie  ::) ::) ::)

Hey lottie, nice piece of ground  :o if you cant tame it you could always turn it into a landing strip for microlights ;D ;D

Thanks so much, all. And Wardy, haven't a clue!!! Next project, find book and what to grow in PT..... :-\ Actually, main thing bedding plants, tomatoes, cucumbers, chillies, overwinter exotics, melons.....think I'd better start digging next one.. ::) ::) ::) !! Lottie  ;D

Well done Lottie!!

Can  I ask is the pt the same as a greenhouse?  What is the difference?

Wish I had one!!

Anna ;D

weldone lottie at last and it looks very grand too  :D :D :D :D all the hard work has paid off i know where to come for my bedding plants next year !!!!!!!!!!

Still grinning...Thank you all! Annadl, it's a darn site cheaper is all I know!!! Greenhouses solid structure and far more expensive. This also isn't permanent as such, I will have to replace the covering at some point (more trenches..). I'm sure (please!) someone more in the know will help! Dibs, I'll even make you a cup of tea...... ;)
Lorna, concil man on hols at min, but due back on 22nd of September, but got it sorted, will greet him with big smile, think in girlie skirt, twirling nonchalantly my new toy...........

might take you up on that lottie cup of tea would be nice , weldone again you have done a good job

Always welcome Dibs! I can do a cup of tea with not too many mishaps.... ;)Lottie

Lottie - that is one almighty construction !  And if you can't find anything to plant in it, you could always invite your A4A friends for a polytunnel warming party.  I will being the Shiraz !
;D ;D ;D

thats a good ideal marianne we could all take along a packet of seeds and seed trays ,would soon full up lotties PT for her  :o :o

Oh yes Dibber !  ;D we could also take presents in the form of seeds.  It would fill up in no time !  :D ;D ;) ::)

Wow-sie! :o Worth all the trencherwoman labour - it looks SOOO good and strong and sturdy ;D ;D What winter crops are going in? My dad built a polytunnel and the first things he installed were a little heater and a recliner so he could plan on site ::) You and your trenching team deserve a pat on the back or three! ;) Inspiring!

A polytunnel party.....Mmmmm but the mood I'm in Yes!!! What a good plan!!! bring seeds, sleeping bags and could be wise to bring vest, I feel...! Bit merry here, if visit shed will know why.. But Wheeehhhayyyyy!! Lottie  ;D

Well done, Lottie - looks fantastic  ;D
Just a thought about the man from the council - how about the Boadicea look? You know, chariot, spear.....

Yeaaaay, well done Lottie.  A fine construction, just temporary enough  ;)  Wishing you lots of happy growing moments therein.

Ooo good plan Rosa! May get Heritage status if play it well..LOL!

Thank you, Ellkebe, dead chuffed cos went to local tip and got about 15 old pallets to use for staging!! I visit every week, and occasionally I get lucky. Was a big worry, about what to use, now sorted!! Carried them to site in my big knickers... ::) ::) ::) So many uses, shading, catapult, son humiliation........  ;)Lottie  ;D

they will  have to be very big knickers , ::) ::) ::)  to house the rocks i will be sending you

No probs, Dibs, will use my reinforced ones for that... ;) Lottie  ;D

have to be steel reinforced  :o :o :o these rocks are pretty beefy

Mmmmm...May have to use my super-duper, industrial strength ones then.. :o :o :o also used for sailing.....  ;D
