Default Siote clearance and new houses.

Some may remember my battle with the over grown site of an old 3 bay
glass house

Well enough was cleared to get the new glass built, the bench on the
south side has stayed to give some outside growing area.

with a 6ft 3 tier stand for orchids and 6ft of bed, and is heated to
around 58f

The other house 2 x 8ft by 10ft were erected as One with a lot of extra
side and roof braces, this has a bench the full length of the south
side(Actually 20ft 8 inches) and a full length soil bed on the north,
this house is heated to around 50f

Both have gas and electric heating and florescent lighting.
The 2 houses were joined with aluminium plates bolted to the 2 adjoining
end frames to pull them together, and extra bracing.
