Looking good Greg, I bet that wheelbarrow's looking forward to retirement

Yeah for a poly tub barrow (with a little DIY reinforcement) it's sure earned it.

I've been busy tidying up other parts of the yard; garden beds, concreting, paving etc. But that's all part of the grand yard plan.

I got my greenhouse delivered yesterday; a Sproutwell 4300 :D

Foundations are in, paving tomorrow. I'll probably put up the greenhouse on the weekend.

I might put in an overflow on the sump tank before I pave as I'll be plumbing the greenhouse gutters into both systems.

I had a look at the sproutwell web site, those GH look like good value.

will be interested to see how the build goes.

That looks great Greg. Very neat. If that's how you operate I am sure your system is going to look great.

Regards, Martin.

Cheers, I was very happy with how everything worked out. The tub is centred across the width of the old pool and it was a smidge out of level but just the right height above the bricks I had planned. Fingers crossed there's just enough room to fit a bathtub gb at the far end of the gh between the tank lid and the wall. I haven't completed the gb frames yet - next job after the greenhouse.

Speaking of which, I got it partially built but the 38*C today slowed me down. :evil:

More bloody hot weather, more welding done: legs and feet for the tank lid frames. Greenhouse ones are shorter. I'm 6'2" and there's not much headroom left in that greenhouse! :?
