Ok i found these hutches on good ol craigslist.. they were under $50 for the pair.. solid oak with glass shelves.. I took doors and shelves out..cut out top with jig saw.added a lip to insed front for door to sit flush.. sanded them both down.. i sealed the inside with KILZ wood filler.. then sealed that with KILZ primer sealer.. i did 3 coats.. then did 2 coats of outdoor wood aint.. i chose hunter green.. any color avail.."HEY ITS WATERPROOF"...i got a section of floor laminate. cut it to fit.. and siliconed the inside egges..all corners and sides.. so they are water tight..lol... built doors ..stained them 2 coats.. sealed them . screen'd them. put trim on eges to cover screen.. installed low wattage light for decoration in top.. i cut holes into back plates for runnig wires and hoses.. instaled small fans ito sides for light air movement...
