Or roughly translated in my pigeon Francais “how we prepare for the greenhouse“. And it’s goin here!

Mrs Fogg has bought a DIY greenhouse that we need to build (jeez there’ll be fireworks), but first off we need a stable base in a field with dips and rises everywhere. Operation “dig a hole commences”. Followed by 10 trips to the compost bin with 3 square metre of sod.

Stage 2 cut 4 off 2.4m x .2m x .15m trees to size, each one weighing in at 30kg a piece, propped on a workbench, Mrs Fogg tickling it with a saw and saying “you finish it now”, so as instructed I do with Mrs Fogg supporting the beams, well that is until she sees a sparrow hawk attacking a birds next and then she runs off to help the birds leaving muggings balancing a bloody great chunk of wood and hacksaw!! Thanks mate!

And that was day 1, with the logs cut and seated, day 2 was the easy bit, put down dry mix and go for a beer! Yup or actually nope, put down dry mix, find all the levels are off, threaten to kill each other, book someone else to finish it, wish you’d not got out of bed, get covered in cement, beat the daylights out of the wood with a mallet. But we did it, oh and this is the easy bit, apparently building the greenhouse takes 9 hours!!
