The next project.

My entire body hurts 🙂 and I know it will be even worse tomorrow 🙂 🙂 So I started another project yesterday, to finally start building that greenhouse I bought three? years ago. I must admit that the instructions were pretty good but the markings on the parts was so so to be honest. I also noticed that the closer to the end the descriptions became less good, like the one who did them sort of felt bored and that gave me some problems at the end.

So the only thing I had to do today was the roof with the ventilation window. The only parts that actually were missing was the parts to the handle of the ventilation window 🙂 🙂 Well I can solve that later and it will work well anyway. I really can’t call the company to complain and to get those parts since it has gone three years and I can’t even remember who I bought it from, it’s a long time since they gave up sending me ads on things they sell 🙂 🙂 🙂 Anyhow everything went well until I was going to put the door together and then hang it up. This is when the bored designer of this green house really messed it up because it is amazing in how many ways one can attach hinges and not make it work 🙂 🙂 🙂 That door took several hours to put together, mostly because the one had forgotten to show how many screws one had to pre assemble before it was time to put the door together 🙂 🙂 🙂

Also there’s magnet to keep the door closed and no matter how I put it one it couldn’t reach any metal but that’s why one always have a just enough big beak pliers close nearby 🙂 Also, and here’s the second thing that drove me nuts, the pre assembled screws. Turns out they had shown the wrong numbers of how many and on what side of the door they should be, so at the moment the door has no handle. I refuse to take the door apart again so I need to figure out another way that makes it possible to move those screws around to the right side again. All in all it worked pretty good despite missing parts and screws on the wrong side of the door and now it stands there. All I have left, besides the screws, is to put up plastic protections on the corners because those are sharp and then figure out how to secure the greenhouse to the ground. I do have storm wires as well just in case the wind blows from the wrong direction.

WE had morning mist here today and I rushed outside as soon as I could to get some nice photos and of course let the dogs have a walk 🙂 It’s amazing how fast it can vanish when the sun rise in the morning. I had brought my old Hasselblad camera because it’s really good on capturing morning mist and we even walked up to the mailbox just to get some nice photos. Just as I had I turned around and all mist was gone! So when we passed the cottage again I left the camera and we continued in to the forest. Turns out the mist was hiding in there instead 🙂 🙂 Well I can always hope for more mist but it looks like we’ll have cloudy days ahead of us with minimal chance to get it any time soon.

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and today I’m having Lady Grey. A really nice tea and a change from the Earl Grey I usually have. I have no ice cream or cookies and I’m not hungry enough for a sandwich so I guess I’ll just have the tea. It is time to move down the stairs and it hurts just to think about it 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!

I forgot to eat while building the greenhouse yesterday but realised I had to stop when my entire body started to shake 🙂 🙂 🙂
Today the dogs made sure to go indoors to have something to eat 🙂

  1. The greenhouse looks nice even if it’s assembly has been difficult. Instructions aren’t necessarily well-written. Many times we have to resort to YouTube videos.

    1. Hi ppekka!

      Still I must say it all went much better than I thought it would since it was so long ago I bought it and it has been outdoors the entire time 🙂 I’m so happy no mice chewed their way in to the packages and do what mice do best, chew on everything and then pee on it 🙂 🙂 🙂

  2. Too bad ypu had such a struggle with the door of the greenhouse. Usually prefab stuff is slightly off filter or somehow wrong, so that isn’t a surprise!

    Take care of your health! Its a great time of year for flus and colds. I hot my flu shot, so I’m pretty sure I will avoid the worst of it.

    The misty photos are very nice. Fogs and mists are somewhat unreliable about posing correctly

    1. Hi Carol!

      Everything had went pretty well until that door 🙂 🙂 So all in all I can’t complain too much but it is right there’s always something that doesn’t really work 🙂

      Well I am avoiding stores when there’s lots of people there and generally stays at home but colds reach me anyway 🙂 I have a small one at the moment, just a stuffed nose and some sneezing.

      So true 🙂 normally the fog and mist never show in the forest, too many trees and warmth I guess but yesterday it was just the opposite 🙂
