You forget Camille... this is a bunch of folks with Podangis Envy with no hands-on experience. I would presume there's gonna be a whole lot of whoppin' and hollerin' and carrying on here for awhile. Just bask in it. We consider you and Roberta our experienced Podangis gurus until all have a successful bloom.

I think that podangis flowered today to thank me in advance for her new house.
How do you get a 138 lb pallet out of your driveway and into your house? Especially when the contents are a glass box?

And MJG... you do realize we'll need pictures of Podangis housing progress, si?

Si! Unfortunately the podangis juju was not working with me yesterday. 
The delivery company called me to tell me that they broke it! I'd been waiting for it for 3 weeks. So I think it's likely going to be another 3. Sit tight, podangis! |

Big bummer, but I'm glad the freight company figured out it was broken before they delivered!
I can't wait to see the podangis blooms come rolling in here. Camille blew my mind yesterday!  Who is next?! |

100 pounds of shattered, non-tempered glass with a bonus of 38 pounds of packing materials. That would not have been a pretty sight. Neither would I have been! 
So here I sit again with 1,000 parts ready to install...in nothing. I was going to wait to start the cabinet build until I had the terrarium, but I think I'm just going to proceed. And I guess at some point I should move my build to the terrarium section...but it's really not a terrarium yet.  |

Yeah, at least they didn't expect YOU to dispose of it. For that, when they do get it right, they need to help you get it into the house! |

Talk about bad luck! I really hope they know what went wrong that caused it to break, to avoid a repeat when they try to deliver the replacement...
In the meantime, as least you have your Podangis to enjoy!
