We have made the decision to take down our v. old wooden greenhouse at the end of this growing year 
It is so damaged (see my old thread) and, after consulting a local carpenter, it is not financially viable to have it repaired. In fact, he has admitted that if he repaired it all, he would actually have to replace every piece of wood in it
and it would cost just as much as buying a new one of that size (which we can't afford to do).
We'll lose the our grapevine, as I doubt we can transplant such a monster (about 30 years old) as its huge and practically holding one side of the greenhouse together.
However, we'll be getting a lovely big polytunnel and smaller greenhouse to replace it!
We plan to place the tunnel and greenhouse closer to the veg garden, and replace our galvanised water tanks (rusty and old) with newer plastic water butts and an irrigation system.
Phew, decision made....
