New pergola/orchid house :)

[SaraJean]

Well after several months of planning, trying to get time off of work, a few splinters and sunburns later, I finished a new little DIY 8x4 home for my babies. I’ve never really built anything before and I have a pretty sad and underutilized tool box, but I am pretty darn pleased with the end result. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to build this thing in my micro courtyard that’s already filled with stuff and squeeze my orchids into a corner since both of my cats like to eat anything green (ie, no orchids inside of I want them to keep their roots and leaves....). Well, that and trying to not saw a finger or leg off

There are a couple of different light zones in there and I still might need to put some up on the balcony since it’s pretty crowded. Still, it’s a nice spot to sit out and have coffee in the mornings after I water!

Here’s some pics of the finished product and I’ll add a few work-in-progress pics below
