Glasshouse continues

5 - 6 Septembe 2018

Jade is working during the day on wood prep in the glasshouse frame, and Rowan calls by most evenings to check progress. 

 Paris and Naomi are also enrolled to boost the painting

 Rowan finds out why you shouldn't leave glass stacked in a heap without spacers - the rainwater suction between panes made the first one shatter.  Then our ladder failed (its little plastic feet collapsed with Rowan up a couple of rungs, so he slipped while holding the glass - it could've been very nasty but he escaped with a scraped shin, luckily) causing another pane to crack.  So work on getting the roof up had to stop, since each pane is slightly different measurements and they have to go up in the right order.

This is the area of rafter that had to be cut out because of weather and insects.  Rowan has constructed a filler piece.
