    As it was a dry day when I got up this afternoon I got the power tools out and build the frame for my new grow house. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1362507217.642814.jpg

    Need to finish cladding the back,but ran out of screws. Need to clad the sides to the height the back is now. Need to make the doors and the roof which will be opening and put the polycarbonate glazing in. I am going to put some 4 x 3 timber on the ground and level fixing as you would for a raised bed and then screw the grow house to this.

      Looks good, I think I will try similar. I'm interested to see your door design, that's where my projects always fail, I just can't make doors!

      Made the doors today but ran into a bit of a problem the left hand one doesn't fit due to the top rail being warped so I will need to replace it before fitting the doors.

          Started on the glazing today got it all cut and 50% fixed and then my drill went flat which stopped work. Not been able to get on it the past few due to other commitments. Hopefully should be finished this week. Just need to finish the glazing the other door and back of grow house and sort the roof.
