My small greenhouse has arrived. Do you know anyone who is good at putting things together? If the holes are pre-drilled I might be okay.

Thing with predrilled holes are the worst

They've usually drilled them in the wrong place, saving you the bother of cocking it up yourself

The top and sides are already screwed together. I have about one dozen bolts with washers to put in place, those holes have been made.

The description said the wood was pressure treated. I think some of the wood needs a bit of sanding down. I thought about treating it but then the plants might be affected by any residue. So Instead, I will put it together and think about that next summer.

It looks like this when put together, but I opted to have two "windows" at the top, so that the lids are not so heavy.

I have a lot of wooden planks in the garage. I might learn how to do carpentry and make a second one, if needed, using that one as a prototype.

Not sure. Last Thursday I thought it was Friday, and on Friday I thought it was Saturday.

If it is just turn the brightness up to full, you should just about be able read posts. If it helps we could write in capitals, just let us know.

That is a 'Cold Frame' though.

I was watching " Money For Nothing" and whilst watching the bits which show people throwing their stuff away I couldn't help thinking of the " Top Gear " take on what people throw away. I n the " Top Gear " programme they went straight from B&Q to the tip, and from seeing what stuff was being thrown away they weren't far from the truth!

Am making a vegetarian lasagne tonight.

With roasted pumpkin, roasted smoked garlic, spinach and puy lentils. Plus a lovely tomato sauce. I have some feta in the fridge that wants using, so will top it with that - the saltiness should go well with the other ingredients.

My wife's friend contacted her whilst on holiday on one of those continental river cruises that you see advertised. Apparently there is a serious drought going on at the moment which means that the large rivers aren't navigable by the large ships and barges due to the lack of depth and so they half filling them. My wife's friend had to do some of her trip by coach.

Yes, you are correct.

Please excuse my erroneous nomenclature.

Useful things though.
