   Wonderful

   Instructions were terrible. But this was a fun project. I've never done one of these before.

   So here's the thing. This is a gorgeous kit; but it is going to absolutely test your patience. This isn't a 5 hour build. It is not a 10 hour build. Plan on spending 25 - 30 hours at least. BUT - there are a few tips that will save your blood pressure down the line (especially #4 and #6 below):1) Hand sanitizer is decent at removing glue. You'll want this when you accidentally get glue all over the plastic panes. I'm told acetone also works well; but it might also erase the black lines so use it with caution.2) There are a handful of walkthrough videos on YouTube. You WILL want to reference these as the instructions are not always clear on assembly.3) Some extra tools are going to be super helpful; have paper towels; Q-tips; and a working surface (I used a cardboard sheet) handy**4**) The final assembly is the hardest. To make final assembly easier; I STRONGLY recommend using a knife (or dremel if you have one) to make the holes/sockets *wider* than they come by default. When you assemble the plastic portion of the greenhouse; you glue some brown pieces to the base of the plastic sheets. Some of these brown pieces have slots in them - for when you perform the final assembly. Use your knife/dremel and make these slots LARGER before you glue them to the plastic. Same with the final base itself - make the receiving slots wider. It is going to make assembly a *million* times easier and save you from throwing your greenhouse out the window (or accidentally crushing it during assembly) in frustration.5) The plastic sheets of the greenhouse have protective film on them. Keep the plastic ON while you're glueing everything together; but take it OFF before you glue the black trim on. The instructions are not very clear about this. Cut along the edges with a sharp knife to make removal easier6) When it comes to the wiring; do NOT hard wire to the battery pack until you are assembling the final circuit box in the back. Again the instructions aren't clear about this and I had to make some manual modifications to get the wires to fit properly. Plus - it's annoying to manipulate the greenhouse with the battery pack attachedI would recommend this; but it is NOT for the impatient. Take your time; save it for rainy nights; build this over a few weeks or months and it will treat you well.
