I'm waiting...

My goodness Lori, poor you, still having all that snow. You must be really fed up with it now. Hope your greenhouse arrives safely tomorrow, that will give you something to keep your mind occupied won't it. Good luck.

lol...thanks Cinders...Some nice warm spring weather would really be nice right about now!

Wish I could ship you some nice sunshine from the UK, Lori...a foot of snow sounds not very nice!

You've got a fair-sized greenhouse there, Lori...good luck with construction once you have the weather to begin.

Good luck with your greenhouse - it will certainly extend your growing time won't it ?

The weather where you are must think you are still in the depths of winter - we seem to be just about getting out of ours and have had a few nice sunny days here lately.As Jacquie (W/Lass) says we wish we could send you some nice sunshine.

Let's hope the delivery man arrives soon - it's like waiting for Father Christmas, isn't it ?

Hope your delivery turn's up today Lori, here in Newcastle we are having frosty morning's, not as bad as your snow though! stay warm :-)

exciting times Lori....hope it gets to you soon...:-)

Yes, very exciting! :)

great Lori and bet you cant wait to get in there doing your bit lol, sorry about the mess up so frustrating for you and anyone living where you are, wonder why its different there, is it because its hard to get to in winter and costs them to get out there.
i think its cold here and fed up but when i see you have more snow im grateful its not here, keep us posted on the greenhouse and look forward to seeing it stocked up :o))

Hi Lori~ glad that you have finally moved and can have a greenhouse~last year I got a second small one so my advice would have been to get the biggest you can find room for~ but it looks as though you did that!
Hope your heating costs are bearable~ it makes all the difference!
regards
Arlene

Hello Arlene...nice to see you again...yes I bought the biggest I could afford as I have plenty of room. we have close to 8 acres, mostly woods. (planning to make maple syrup if the weather ever decides to cooperate.) I plan to make a passive solar collector for the gh to sit on. Black plastic pipes from an exterior collector take sun heated water to pipe buried under the crushed rock floor, circulated by gravity. (at least that's the plan at present)...lol.
San, I probably won't get much out of it this year...but it's going to be such fun getting it all up and running and I plan to put my orchids out there. (then there'll be room for us in the house!)
Jacquie, Marie, Mavis, Sandra (Wales), and Karen...thanks all! Nice to have friends who get as excited as I am about it... What a year this has been so far. (on the downside: we got a foot of snow over the week end) :...(

the orchids will brighten it up nicely Lori and then you can plan what your going to grow in there, put a chair in there and get yourself a nice cup of tea and dream :o)

Great idea you have there, San. Sounds like a plan to me!

lol great, dont forget a cushion :o))

first thing julian moved into the polytunel. its a lovely old arm chair that used to belong to my great aunty cienwen. if we loose him on a sunday he's in his chair snoozing...lol

Men and cats..they always find the comfy spots!

lol sandra, lori your right there, if baz could fit a chair and tv in the garage he would hahah

gud luk with the glass houese lori , you will b able to do so much with it , you will wish u got a biger one lol ;0)))
hope that damed snow goes soon ...........

did it ever turn up Lori?

Thanks for the good wishes Sandra and Cristina...Hi Sandra(Wales), guess I should have followed up on this...yes it did arrive after ten days. I think it saw most of southern Ontario and was delivered in a minivan with Quebec plates on it!!! makes no sense whatever...It finally got warm enough to go out to the shed and unpack the bits and pieces and check them against the manifest...I found three pieces of aluminium that have damage...the polycarbonate is very tough but found a few pieces which have abrasions! The tough carboard boxes looked chewed!! I can't imagine what hassle I'll have when I contact them about the damaged pieces...the timber for the foundation will be delivered tomorrow or Thursday, so I have to make a final decision on where I'm placing it. Then I just have to put the .....thing together... hmmmm....trying not to be a pessimist!
