Default Re: Pond, falls and living wall

Shawn how about some Utricularia (terrestrials) near or at the waterfalls?

I knew you were going to include some Neps, as that is your Modus Operandi you include neps into your client's gardens to hopefully get them hooked Keep up the great work in promoting CPs! We can't wait to see the final result of your latest project!

TTFN

Andy, there are a few places that sell dining table like that, one is in Juru Autocity but the price is sky high. In Nibong Tebal, there is a nursery that have solid wood like that from time to time and i've seen a few which are suitable for dining table top. Very good feng shui

I've also found a place onmy way to Selama, Perak that made benches, tables and lawn ornaments from drift wood, big gigantic roots and solid wood.

Ok, another week - a little more progress! The black band is just a temporary dividing line for where the pebblewash upper surface will meet the dark colored bottom surface.





One of the 5 down-lights that will illuminate the living wall mounted;


Testing the falls flow rate (Don't worry, it'll get much better looking, but by then it would be too late to change the flow pattern if there was something wrong!) The entire waterfall area has an embedded layer of PE sheet (1/4" thick) under the top layer of cement so even if something cracks or moves years down the line there shouldn't be any leakage problems.


Meanwhile, here's four pictures of the main entrance to the house from the parking area... a bit of a challenge as the contractor just built the house with no plan as to how to actually reach it! You can see the area of the pond/falls in the upper right of the first picture.
Start;




There's a guest bedroom off to the left, below the main house, hence the pathway headed off that way.




Okay, hopefully more progress to show next week!
