It looks fantastic, and I envy you. I live in a condo so it is out of the question. My basement has to suffice.

What a unique idea using the bread trays.

Default The Shelves
Well we got the 1st set of shelves up yesterday. What do you think?

I love how hubby did them. There is plenty of room underneath to put some portable plastic (cheapy) shelves for the more shade loving chids.

And there is room to mount a couple of smaller shelves on top (we'll see).



Today's project is the mister, the workbench and the sink. My hubby is Handy.

Thumbs up Wind Chaser / Mist Fan
Well I got caught unprepared for the heat....after some quick thinking, we got everything out of the oven.



I found this great outdoor Mist Fan by Wind Chaser. WOW! It cooled the GH by 15 degrees in about 20 minutes.

Best $119 I ever spent from Lowes.

Best thing about it is that even if the power goes out, we can still mist because it hooks up to the hose. So I can put it on a timer for the fan and a timer for the hose and I am totally set.

Took the humidity from 50% to 70% too. Great product.

It works in tandem with the Mist King.

Well now is it time for the second tier of shelves and time for the lower plastic shelves underneath.

I need an area to store my pots, chemicals, and hydroton. It is amazing how fast it fills up with orchids!

I remembered I had a bar stool with a vinyl seat and a nice support back so I put it out there for my work bench and it is the perfect size.

I am planning on taking pictures again this weekend.
