I'll have to get the glue gun out. Reg

I have done a temporary repair as it is raining, the panel is clear plastic and is held in with a long plastic strip, you need fingers of iron to put them in so it may be a glue gun job.
Now those people up in Scotland could close the door it would not be so windy down hear. (only joking)...

This greenhouse is getting to me, started repairs and went inside but as it was chilly I closed the door, on leaving the door had jammed closed, now my wife would probable look for me but this could be hours or days.
I had to bang it with a bit of wood to escape.
Now to repair the door...

Later this morning.

Re hung door greased runners just got to de freeze out my hands and put stop bolt on if I can find the nut I dropped.

PS. I was in there, did you not hear me crying....

This made me smile Reg, your greenhouse is proving to be a bit of a disaster area

Hope you find the nut

Next time you go to the greenhouse, take your mobile phone.

Both my g'houses got damaged in the storms here.
The one I use as a potting shed had the roof window taken right off and the good g'house had two panes broken.
They will have to wait until I can get round to repairing them which may be some time yet as the weather forecast is not very good.

I'll get around to it eventually
