It may be an idea for mods to move the photos only to a locked thread so we can see them without the chat and let this thread continue with people able to add questions, etc. What do you think?

Would you like to take some from my gallery, or should I put a few here?

THE RUN THE BATHROOM THE DINING AREA STAIRS TO PERMANENTLY OPEN POP HOLE LAYING QUATERS (being shown by the real Bhindi) THE BEDROOM OUTSIDE ACCESS TO NEST BOXES These are quite old pics now, but I'm pleased to say all but 2 plants are thriving, (The 2 that died are both escalonia's.) I will eventually take a pic of the other half of the brick built bit, that now sports a sink with hot and cold running water, and cupboards below, because I was getting grumbled at for my dirty foot prints in the kitchen when washing up bowls etc. So I'm self contained in there now. (Have not got the kettle yet, but I'm planning on getting one) Back to top jaydee67 Moderator Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 4601 Location: Shetland Islands Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 4:37 pm    Post subject: Your set up is a real des res Bhindi, it's really lovely.
