Refurbishing the greenhouse I built for my father about 15 years ago is an ongoing project. As mentioned a while back I built a couple of work benches out of old roof joists. They had to be constructed outside so the screw holes were pre-drilled to be re-assembled in situ because they were too big to fit in the door.

 Several panes of glass have broken over the years and will need to be replaced but it's still pretty hot in there when the sun catches it. Having said that the garden is shady so I have it in mind to grow some shade loving plants from the sub-tropics that wouldn't survive a frosty winter. The Botanic Garden in Cambridge has some old fashioned steamy glass houses and I've always enjoyed wandering through them.
