Dazed

I can't actually believe I have a fully glazed greenhouse once more.  It took some doing, like some kind of Herculean quest. 

I found the glass for free on Gumtree last year.  I thought I would wait until after the winds of March to replace it.  I measured up and labeled all the panes, took them to the glass cutter, and enthusiastically set about putting them in the frame.  It was only then that I discovered I had measured wrongly, and so most of the panes were too big. 

It took a while before I felt ready to try again.  I spent an intense morning measuring and remeasuring to be sure I'd got it right this time.  Luckily the Fates and my brain were with me, and my Dad and I spent a profitable afternoon fitting all the pieces in their appropriate slots.  I immediately felt the difference in temperature level in the greenhouse, as it was a hot day.  I'm now keeping the door propped open with a piece of plywood, to keep it well ventilated so the plants don't asphyxiate. The plywood will stop animals coming in and helping themselves to the vegetation.
