Stefan built the "Orchid Wall". These pics show the finished wall and then some shots of the orchids as they bloomed in September and October. |

Purchased a new orchid, some planting media, rooting hormone, herbs, etc. Stefan took cuttings from his Crown of Thorns and the Ficus tree and put them in vermiculite to root. They'll be used in future bonsai projects. Annalisa started a whole slew of seeds and worked to save the White Sail. There is hope, though we aren't sure how much. |

Purchased some hooks to hang tools... installed said hooks and hung said tools. Annalisa repotted all her orchids in new wooden boxes with new moss and bark and they look like they'll be quite happy. The orchid supplies department at Lowe's is rather empty now. One of her orchids has re-bloomed for the first time. Very exciting! |

I cleaned up everything in the greenhouse so that there was nothing in there that didn't belong there. (Stefan) | zip |

Purchased some clear duct tape to help with the bubble wrap insulation intallation. | $4.99 |

Purchased and installed a weatherproof switch so that we are now able to turn completely off the vent fan. This way, we can keep the vent fan from coming on when the thermostat is hit by the sun and it thinks it is 100 degrees in there when in fact the air temp is only 70. | $4.99 |

Greenhouse Lighting Project I added a light over the doorway and replaced all the switches (the dimmer was busted anyway). It was finished up on the 23rd, but I worked on it in evenings for a couple weeks...
Somehow... that doesn't seem to give a true representation of the trials and annoyances I endured in completing this project. |

Replaced the spa pump. Again, a real trial. First I bought seals to fix the ones that were leaking. Then I broke the impellor trying to get to the seals. So I bought a new impellor. Then when I put it all back together it made a horrible noise and I realized that the motor bearings were shot. So I ordered a new motor with pump attached. But I ordered the wrong size so I sent it back and got the other size. The size was right, but the threads didn't match so I put the old pump (with new seals and impellor) on the new motor and stuck THAT in there... that worked very well. Phew! |
