When the Wind blows

Let the wind blow said the house,
I`ll still stand.
When the wind blows,
I feel grand.
On this land
I`ll always stand.
Missing a plank or two,
Or maybe a screw,
That just lets the wind blow through



John d Smith clearly wasn't talking about my greenhouse.



Purchased from KD Hardware,  at $59 it was a bargain.   It had full standing headroom and built in shelves and everything.    I imagine it was made in china.   
Having spent about 3 hours assembling the frame and getting the cover to fit right I as feeling pretty pleased with myself.    I tied the cover to the frame pegged it  and weighed the frame down with 4bags of potting mix so that it couldn't tip over.

Yes of course the bloody thing flew away like a rocket.   quite spectacular really.    It ended up around the corner in the dam.     Its now lying in a crumpled pile back in shed.    I am now planning version 2.   There are lots of cheapies on ebay but I might think about something a bit more substantial.
