Default Lucky Me
just wanted to share my good news, my mums neighbour is giving away for FREE a greenhouse and its all there glass and all which she doesnt want anymore its only about 18months old. Guess who was round there like a shot and its all mine OH has agreed to take it down and re-erect (is that a word?) for me. All she wants is a few veg when we have some spare.... sounds like a good swap to me.

Lucky you.
We had one given by a neighbour too. Only ours had been in bits for 8 years and came with no instructions.
OH was good at jigsaws and did finally do it. Its such a great feeling to get something for free.
Good luck in your new greenhouse.
