So standing looking at the front of your house, which way is North? Deemaree Kyndylan Capers: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=46852 My blog: http://www.sufficientlysufficient.blogspot.com/ Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1252Mar 16, 2012 10:21 am Hi Dee, I was just checking on nearmap to make sure I was right - standing at the front of our house you would be facing South so North is behind us. We get all that lovely winter sun in the family room but not the summer sun.

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1253Mar 16, 2012 10:27 am Which means your bedroom & utility side gets the western ( hot afternoon in summer) sun! The pergola etc will help with that-or external blinds.

We like "palmy" things so it should work well .... and we won't need to water so often thanks to the shadecloth.

Thanks to inspiration from H1 I thought that black and white would look good.

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1260Mar 26, 2012 12:34 pm hey McLaren - nice to see others trying their hand at art... it looks good. I was trying my hand in the weekend and all was well until I got a bit impatient and tried something else and messed it up - the good thing is that I can let it dry and cover it all again and start from scratch as I'm using acrylics I'll upload some photos of my handy work once done...
