I had a monkey with a typewriter type that FACT, if you really must know.

That doesn't look like landscaping to me. That looks like pretty standard garden beds. Lanscaping is a bit more....brutal. Landscaping is earthworks, and creation of elevation, and contrast, and texture. I sneer at your landscaping....because my garden is landscaped. It has rocks and everything :icon26:

Nice, at least nicer than gramps' "garden". But what's those two tubes in the foreground? Petrified dino foreskins or what?

Post by **chiQ** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 9:24 pm

They're the same tubes as in the top shot (there are three, but one's shorter). When the pump's on they overflow with water into the pool they sit in. I guess you could call it a fountain, though it's more like a waterfall thingie since the water just runs over the edges. They're pottery cylinders with pipes in them connected to a pump in the pool.

Chiqs garden looks like she put plants and grass and rocks in a blender and somehow vomited it all onto the ground.

lol

Gramps' house is so far out in the bush the power wires are still above ground...along with the septic tank. :lol:

To top it all off gramps has a mosquito-infested ditch that will one day spawn enough of them little blood suckers to carry his ugly kid away.

New Zealand right?

Looks nice...did you do all that? Or was it partially landscaped when you got the place?

Yeah, it was completely done when we bought it, which rocked, as I'd worked my arse off redoing our old house, getting it looking good to sell. I would have hated to have needed to do that all over again.

The cool thing is the previous owner put in well over $NZ10K worth of native NZ, and beachy plants, and god knows how much worth of landscaping materials, such as railway sleepers, rocks, shingle, decking, etc. and they moved a LOT of soil around. We would never have been able to do half as much. They even wired in outdoor lighting

Florida is rather flat. It's be very difficult to do something like that here.

It looks really nice though.

Almost the entire state of Florida is wired above ground.

BTW, it's a 'drainage' ditch. It doesn't hold water long enough to get infested with anything.

most of these f@gs are jealous because they:

A) hate their studio apartment.

B) are getting tired of mom going through their sock drawers.

makes more sense now. if you had a house set up like yours in the uk it'd be a waterlogged mess in a matter of days

1893? Does it have plumbing, or do you have to run to the outhouse to take a shit? :lol: I guess it's ok, if thats all you can afford. :lol:
