[studders]

Very nice, though I don't think the bowl of water you've placed outside will go down too well.

Looks really good. Let's hope you get some piece now and she can't break out when you lock her in

 

[Dodge]

Cracking work - oops sorry - hopefully not literally cracking!

That really does look impressive - Well done =D> =D> =D>

Did you follow plans or work from your own design?

 

[mpooley]

Did you follow plans or work from your own design?

It was my own design. done in sketchup.
But it was based on a photo my wife had in a brochure where the same size Greenhouse was over £11,000.00 :shock:


Thanks

Mike

Do you have a material cost breakdown?

What timber did you use?

Looks great by the way!

 

[mpooley]

well my big mistake was using bendy Pine! it was rubbish and caused a lot of grief.
but it was cheap !
the whole lot of timber was about £450
The Guttering cost £450 ish
the glass plus a glazier was £770 :shock:
Paint about £90
so about £1700-£1800 but a lot nicer than I could have bought for anything near that money.

I would not do it in pine again though :roll:

 

[JonnyD]

It looks really good.

What paint have you used?

cheers Jon

 

[mpooley]

superdeck Have found it to be a very good exterior paint
