Did you install an external water filter or is the system set up without a filter system?

Hello donned2004, Well you could remove all the things from the hearth.. So it has more space.. Hang the mirror and paint the chimney breast a nice colour to bring the fireplace into full focus.. If you wanted to have an even bigger recess.. you could open the fire out up to the sides of the wooden surround.. So taking out the 30's tiles.. Make sure the lintel is in place or doesn't need replacing and keep the surround it's rather nice.. Remove the current tiled hearth if you chose to open it out more.. and install a flat piece of slate.. So then you would have an open brick recess and a lovely iron basket could sit nicely inside for logs! Another idea to continue into the room.. might be to look at painting the woodwork a colour to compliment any wall colours you have.... Some lovely painted floorboards, or parquet or a natural Jute or Coir flooring if you have not already decided upon something.. : ))

Waterfall!? Is it possible???

Hi Marc, When I read waterfall, I am assuming that you want to create something naturalistic? In which case this is a great space in which to create a waterfall. It will require some effort but you could definitely do something spectacular with a good quality pond liner and a tonne of nice rock. I would suggest a small sump pool / pond at the base of the feature. I would use the spoil from the digging of the pond to build up against the wall, you will probably need to import some soil and sand also. When creating the slope make sure you bury the pipes that will eventually feed water to the waterfall. Create a couple of turns in the waters path down the slope, with flat areas at the turns, that way once you have lined the pond and waterfall you will be able to cement stones into the water flow. Make sure you leave space for some planting around the waterfall as it will help it look even more natural. Good luck!

Look carefully before you leap. When deciding on your water feature think carefully about maintenance - particularly algae. With the metal trough with 3 bubblers most of the water is hidden from the sun and so less stimulation of algae growth - although it will come. The water being hidden also keeps it cooler which helps. You could hide a UV filter under the metal as well which helps kill floating algae (microscopic) and you would need ideally to treat the water with a chemical (lots on the market that are safe for animals etc). The real challenge with this feature is making sure the top is exactly level, otherwise the water will flow off to one side. With a glass/mirror wall you are exposing quite a lot of water to the sun (depending how high it is) and the trough will get direct light as well. All stimulators of algae growth. You could still use the UV filter and chemical treatment though.

Garden noise! Help!

I too live in a busy area with town traffic, vets surgery at the back, plus surrounding neighbours. I’ve learned to live with it but I know what you mean. Thick hedges can help a little as they filter out the echoes and you can also fight noise with more noise, something soothing like a water fountain perhaps.
