Only thing I would suggest is to get a layer of stone or flat stone for the pathway. You'd be surprised at how fast you will widdle through it.

Great job though.

I was debating on putting in a better pathway. I do have access to plenty of stone as well, so I may as well.

Very nice. Your shelves and orchids look so orderly. And your daughter and puppy are very sweet looking!

Things looked a lot neater when I first set it up. Then we had 3 days of ridiculous wind and things changed!

Your mounts are great! They look like the wood I get from the river.

We went to the river today and picked up a new load of driftwood for mounts. We are soaking them in Malathion and then we will bleach them in the sunlight before using.

Silken, nothing was damaged thankfully. I really can't believe nothing was!

Melissa, thanks. I get some of the wood from our buddy who had a lumber yard. He kiln dries everything which takes most of the worry out of pests. I also got some from the pet store.
