LLChing 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2012 Uh hum .. From the view of a cleaner, those holes will trap dust, cobwebs, good lizard hiding place. Since it is a fountain, the places where water flows through will get slimy 1st, then turn green, then black if not maintain VERY regularly.My discarded pond was of mountainous design with water flowing into a fish pond. The whole thing was fiber glass! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dexufto 5 Report post Posted June 16, 2012 I always wonder, is it cheaper to buy kitchen from Ikea or it is cheaper to custom made? Any advice?I remembered that Ikea Kitchen is cheaper than some contractors, however i wouldn't comment on it's quality though.I don't own a Ikea kitchen but the furniture (i.e Expedit) shown signs of wear after a few months.Check with forumer "Ossify", not sure if he is still active. He uses bulk of Ikea furnitures.Cheap may not be good. Remembered someone saying, "if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys,even some monkeys are asking for macadamia nuts"Goodluck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole thing was fiber glass!When water turn slimy and green is due to over feeding of fish.If you are able to do a balance eco system they are very nice.Have you visited Hort Park a t Alexander?Make a trip there.

Hope it'll find new home soon... Wow, twin boy can be a handful, my sis got a set of triplets girl.As for toddler my humble advice is no TV and computer games.With that, it is easier to encourage them to read books.Once reading habit is formed, studying is quite a pleasure for them.I'm speaking from my own experience. It works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
