As with most problems, mine comes from a woman 
My wife has been moaning she wants to grow veggies/etc for a few years, but we have a smallish garden as we live very close to town. The other day I spotted a lean to green house and we have space for that in the side alley which is quite wide and south facing. So I thought I could finally squash this perennial complaint.
My issue is that there is an inconveniently positioned air brick. I'm guessing it would not be a very good idea to have this sitting inside the greenhouse.
The widest greenhouse that would fit (of whats available) is only ~1.3m. I'm not sure how long that would keep her happy. Moreover, the ~2m version is only £20 more.
So presuming i'm correct in thinking I shouldn't place the air brick inside the greenhouse, would there be any harm in extending it using some trunking? The alley where the greenhouse sits is on an incline, so I'll need to build a base anyway. Therefore I was thinking I could extend with trunking and put a new air brick in the base.
Also the house is quite old and built from old yellow london stock bricks. I treated that same wall with storm dry cream to prevent damp patches. Could the lean to greenhouse cause problems to the masonry?
