It doesn't matter how much space you have. It's never enough!

oops .... but I've been there, but on a smaller scale ...
If it's just a night or two of very low temps, just put them back out afterwards, and bring them in the next time. I stick mine in the garage for the days when overnight lows approach freezing. Any that are warmer growers I keep inside...

Autumn has always been a nightmare for me, too. I now must get rid of plants or orchids to fit new ones or stick to very small/mini orchids and plants that can remain in small pots.

You could always sell some of that band equipment to make room for the orchids and free up some cash for orchid lights! Muhuhahahahaha!!

Same here. This is the first summer that I had more than 100 orchids. When the weather got cold, I had my orchids in trays like that too! They sat there in the garage for a few days because I simply felt too lazy to move them to their proper locations. I also had to cut down my collection by a fair amount. At least now all my orchids fit on the windowsills and under lights.
Yet I cannot control myself and I have another package of orchids coming tomorrow. I see you're in the same boat..except you have three packages, not one!
