The greenhouse is DONE! (except for silicone open spots) Plumbing is complete and final inspection passed!
I have mostly organized the collection for now, but I am sure there will be a few tweaks. I am sitting here with my coffee enjoying the aircon and taking inventory. I am putting all of the orchids into the journal on OrchidWiz (a tedious process). I have finished one whole bar and it held 58 plants. My best guess is ~400 orchids. I will soon know when I finish entering the inventory.
For the inquiring minds, our contractor bill was $16K, but it makes all the difference in the world to have a professional run a large scope project. He organized all of the subs and we finished just 13 days shy of the deadline. Plus everything is to code so I don't have to worry about any nosy neighbor issues. We could have never done it on our own with the double slope in the yard.
I think it is safe to say that this was the best birthday, anniversary, and holiday present ever!
