Orchids
I got this tuesday morning in 2 large boxes .Had it up and done by midnight that day. A very Long day and still got a bag of screws I have no clue where they go Big Grin . My back hurts my knees ache and I was awakened mid sleep with lower leg cramps that had me crawling around the floor to the hot shower.Ouch the leg cramps.
I didnt have too much trouble building this by myself but I wouldnt suggest it. I wouldnt suggest this unit for anyone thats not good at puzzles. No written directions only pictures. I needed this last week during a hail storm. Im going to shop for a small swamp cooler for it. It will get hot fast and I need to cure that before texas hits 110 and Im still killing plants. Directions wanted me to build the base and then build the greenhouse as a separate unit. Pick up the greenhouse and put it on the base Do what? Confused . I didnt have 2 of me so I have to build the house on the base. Ohhhh I see now why. Its wiggly and hard to keep square until you get something bolted together and can handle it by yourself. I got it done. Bungee cords and clamps Rolling on the floor laughing

...my 1st greenhouse and I need bigger and better already Hurray! but this will be a good learning greenhouse cant get too much in there to kill. Im already thinking of some upgrades I can make to it. Had 40 mph wind last night and it makes a lot of noise. The thin polysheets flop around a lot. Wasnt much money and It fit my deck I made. It was a lot of fun sitting in when I was done. I really need to learn how to get a handle on all these orchids I have. my plants seem to like so far

Just a small greenhouse fit for an orchid nooby
