Fantastic work bb, Thanks Wendy. I'm rarely happy with a finished project, and rarely do I finish a project, for that matter. To be honest, I'm pretty happy with this one. I still need to add a couple of wall outlets, and a couple of ceiling fans, and I want to add a water spigot inside the screen room with one of those fancy curly hoses. But, afaic, this is one project I actually finished. I'll consider those other items add ons. your orchids look happy already I still need to control the high daytime temperatures, and filter the light a little more, but for the most part I think they are happier than they have been for some time. I just decided to move the phals back out under the oak tree as they were not handling the high temps well at all. For me, now they are in a controlled environment so I can observe the progress and make adjustments as I deem necessary. This orchid thing is new to me and there's been a rather steep learning curve considering how many orchids I started with, the poor condition of the orchids as I received them, and my lack of a decent environment to put them in. ! I am curious about your white step shelves that you have. Did you make them or did you buy the set up kit. I bought three pre-made step units from Home Depot. They were pressure treated lumber and I primed and painted them semi-gloss white. I installed them the opposite of how they were designed to be installed, ie, they are steeper and narrower than as designed. For the shelves I used 2"X8"X12'. I think a standard step is 2"X12"Xwhatever. Cheers Wendy Cheers to you, also. bb |
