All right.... I had a couple of nights off from my night job and made a bit of progress. Enough progress to post this a day early with extra content...

This is the base footprint for my top. It is 4'x4.5'

This is the backside after I cut the holes and while I was glueing the aluminum foil on. I have a total of 2 layers of foil for waterproofing of the bottom.

After 2 layers of foil and hole cut again... and the Topside

I got a chance to glue images on all the inside wall so the kids think they are in a stone garden...

Me Either! I told Cathie that this project has a mind of it's own! The original image that came to me was just a rough image of what I now have....everytime I do something, I think of a way to modify it and make it better.

For instance, my grass is growing, but will not be up to par by the time I'm ready to move it inside (Next Weekend ;)) so now I'm thinking of trying that buttermilk and moss idea for the ramps and around their waterdish, after all it will be a warm, moist area with about 25% UVs from the Powersun 50 bulbs. moss should THRIVE there!

That looks great! The top board with out the light fixtures looks like an angry face!

That was my very 1st thought when I picked it up after cutting the holes.... it didn't look that angry when I drew out the holes to be cut!:D
