Potting shed

Hello all,
Yesterday, we came back from our short vacation which was great.  I am refreshed and full of energy, although the temperature outside is way over 30 degrees Celsius with a forecast of getting higher.  I am blessing my airconditioner every moment of the day.

The shed itself is almost completed, except for the roof.  I am not so sure about the roof.  Maybe everything will be installed inside an extra IKEA greenhouse which I have.( It is still in its original packing.)  Now I'll have time to work on the other part, where Sans' and Sandra's gifts will be.

At least, there are photos I can show you.


Here is how I made the structure of the shed.

Floor was made separately on illustration board
Floor installed

Boards of wide bamboo skrewers added to make the wall.  After all it's only a shed and can be shabby.


A faucet installed. We need to water the plants and seedlings.


Backside of the shed.



This week will be dedicated to making plants. Notice the philadendrum under the faucet?  I made it following Flor's tutorial. I just love making flowers and plants and am very grateful for all the tutorials on this subject that people so generously give.

Blessings to all my friends

    El cobertizo es fantástico. Me encanta el efecto del grifo y el cubo con la manguera enrollada.
