Tour of the house


Welcome to our Bungalow in the Jungle-o!
As you drive up the rough road, into the jungle, you arrive at the isolated property we call home. I built a 40' x 8' wooden deck onto the front of the container home. The pitched roof included an 8' overhang to accomodate the planned porch. We enclosed it with lattice and included space for hanging plants, plants on the railing and plants on the outside of the fenced area. We have a great deal of rain and with the high humidity, most plants grow as if in a perpetual greenhouse! Orchids are easy, as are ferns, gardenias, hybiscus, and even fig trees. The lattice work keeps the poodles enclosed and safe, and the overhang ensures shade, even on the hottest days.
