Beautiful paint colours. They all look so lovely and homely
I actually can imagine myself living there now, that it's not just "a house". Interesting how color can do that for you!

I know you can get the right fish, but I'm unsure how effective that is as I'm quite sensitive to bites. Well, the fish should take care of any mozzies....We had 2 koi, a lot of shubunkens and some zebra danios (which do fine in cooler water despite being tropical). We also had some gilgies or koonaks and mud gudgeons. Mostly the gilgies were too slow for the fish, but if you put them with normal goldfish ( not fast swimmers) they will shred their tails if they can. We didn't have any mosquito problems, cos we also had frogs- tadpoles eat what the fish don't. (The koi had to be taken out when they grew too big for the pond.) Thanks SB My darling can hardly fit through the door, his head is so swollen Re: Our Half Acre Heaven- Painting completed 453Apr 23, 2014 6:52 am Great pond. I'm very envious that you had 3 of them. Re: Our Half Acre Heaven- Painting completed 454Apr 25, 2014 3:44 am Oh Wow everything is coming together. It looks fabulous. Love your kitchen twisted door handles and the Taupe Stone colour is really something. I can sympathize with you and the allergies. I will definitely have to be absent when my poor husband does the sealing of the plaster work. apparently very strong fumes. There is something that you can put in little pots around the place that is suppose to lessen the paint fumes, but can not remember what it is. Will have to give the place a thorough airing as well as utilising my air purifier. I always have to use asthma friendly paints.

So much has happened I'm at a loss for words!! Loving the colours trees, and your garden is divine. So wish we had made a start on ours before we moved in. We STILL have so much to do. Jibs - re paint fumes. If you use a low VOC paint you won't have this problem. This is what we used throughout for our new build and I highly recommend it. Did you know that with normal paint even after you can't smell the fumes any more, it is still releasing toxins for months and months!! yuk Re: Our Half Acre Heaven- Painting completed 456May 09, 2014 1:35 pm oh trees everything looks gorgeous! I'm sure you're busy getting it all organized. Have you moved in yet? thanks for all the garden inspiration!

Re: Our Half Acre Heaven- Painting completed 458May 16, 2014 10:27 pm Well, everyone, we got our keys last week! It's all ours. I've had major connection problems for several weeks so couldn't let you know earlier. . .nor could I access any internet via the wonders of the company that boasts its the best- Don't get me started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Tamarind, yes, Low VOC has less fumes and chemicals. It may be slightly more but worth it for someone who has hay fever allergies and the like. You're welcome Ardie!! Re: Our Half Acre Heaven- Painting completed 459May 16, 2014 10:29 pm Yaaaaay!!!!! Congratulations!!!! Have you moved in?? How is it? Looking forward to lots of pics as always. Got to live through someone else's joy as we limp towards the finish line haha. Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65085 Re: Our Half Acre Heaven- Painting completed 460May 16, 2014 10:39 pm Yaaaay! Congratulations, must be a wonderful feeling! of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 23787 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23922 |
