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

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.

Wow. That's quite a difference, David! You've been working very hard,
obviously. Hope you have a good growing season and see the fruits of
your labour.
