Foundations

Foundations - foundations.

Big J spent all morning yesterday levelling the site for the greenhouse. But only where the greenhouse is going as we can't touch the rest of the site till we hear back about our funding application - we only managed to get the reply letter in yesterday - So I expect it will be a couple of days yet.

Anyway site levelled we did the first pegging out for the foundations and I started to think how big the greenhouse looked - can't say that too loud though - but not to worry as Big J spent the rest of the day digging the trench and when I went up after work last night I couldn't help thinking how small the greenhouse looked!! - It's all an optical illusion!! Nothing you see with your eyes is worth worrying about the bottom line is the greenhouse takes up 31 square meters and the plot is 360 square meters and the area of the greenhouse doesn't change depending on whether it's marked out by a trench or by a thin string - although it should be said that the foundations are a bit bigger than the actual greenhouse so that the greenhouse can sit on it.

Once the trench was dug - The Jays were busy again remeasuring the sides and the checking the angles were all square - which they were - ALMOST!! Poor Jays back to the start. But it's all straight now and square and all the sides all match up and tomorrow morning before 8 the concrete is arriving ready to pour, ready to set and then we'll be ready for the glasshouse when ever it arrives.
