Bit of a up-date on construction, Sent off for new glass seals, its a newish type similar to draft excluder, sticky backed 8mm foam bit pricey £50 with delivery, 7 Day wait for that,most of the glazing clips are perfect those that aint are getting replaced, Block work is finished , inside floor has been levelled and a heavy duty membrane laid, im going to put 4 slabs down the middle and stone chip the entire area, going to clean all the frame with a Aluminium cleaner, which i can do whilst waiting for the seals to arrive then it will be just the Glass to refit, got to cut 3 new panes and the she will be up and running within 2 weeks, fingers crossed.

Sure is mellowed, Started cleaning the frame tonight , wire wool and some cleaning stuff i got ffs, theres about 300ft of Aluminium frame to do, it will be worth it in the end....Wont it? lol, Its 8ft 2inch's at the highest point in the middle, Everything im doing is OTT, but i would rather do it properly first time than keep fucking about with it later on , i know its only 2 courses of Concrete Blocks laid flat but its spot on level, and perfect right angles on the corners,we lifted the frame on and she sits pretty, Going to run a seam of Grip Fill around under the base then screw it down into the block work, finishing off the outside of the base with a Cement fillet to throw the rain water off the blocks, It aint going to be moved again lol

Nearly got the framework washed and scrubbed, next task is to get her fixed to the block work, then im waiting on the new glazing seals which should be here early next week, My mates offered me as much washed shingle for the floor as i need FOC, Then i can get the staging in ,so if all goes to plan within 2 weeks we should be up and running Yippee, cant wait, there will be a few Chillies and Tomatoes for camouflage, and me and Foxy have considered having a few Emperor Scorpions loose in there, Why? because we can lol
