A decided to start working on making the greenhouse, I had thought the most tricky part was over, it seems not! But before that I was going to put the door and pictures in place on the back wall. I had managed to lose two of the paintings, they were just tiny images on paper and I wasn’t too sad about that as I hadn’t liked them and they didn’t seem appropriate pictures for the flower house. So I fpgo my box of stamps out and found some images and made my own pictures.
The instructions had me guessing, and then I unwrapped the greenhouse ‘glass’ and was even more concerned!
There are two layers to the solid walls and you had to sandwich the ‘glass’ between them. Believe me, at one point I was shouting at it that it was impossible! Then the wood, which had warped slightly when painted, would not stick together, so then it was the weights from the kitchen!
At the moment I have the second piece under weights!
On a brighter note I have still been putting the Bird Buddy out and the starlings and robin have been regularly visiting. There is a dunnock in the garden that is often around, a shy little bird, not colourful but sings beautifully. This afternoon it was brave enough to approach the Bird Buddy, quite made my day!
I am sure I can approach the greenhouse with renewed determination tomorrow!
I hope the pain relief gel helps out a bit. You’re certainly are prepared to give anything a try. But it’s the only way to find out. 🤞Bet it wasn’t cheap though!
ReplyDeleteI think you jumped the gun a bit by thinking the miniature stuff was going to be the hardest, and that you now had any easy ride. I must admit that I was thinking pretty much the same. The instructions are a total waste of time, and seeing the “glass” for the greenhouse all in one large piece is nightmare material! Good old kitchen weights usually do the trick in situations like that, I’ve used them many times. I really can imagine you shouting at it all 😂 I know, it’s not funny.
The bird buddy has produced some great pics. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a dunnock. I suppose I must have but not realised it. Lovely clear pics. Definitely a good purchase.
The last statement on the blog tonight proves you are a total optimist 😂😂🤣🤣
No, it wasn’t cheap, but got to be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteI hadn’t looked closely at the instructions for the greenhouse, it is certainly gong to be another challenge, but all those plants need their home!
I have been hoping the dunnock would come to the feeder so that has really delighted me. I think a lot of people think they are sparrows, but they are quite different but she little birds that spend a lot of time ground feeding.
