Wind chimes’ dimensions

5 years ago
I’ve been looking for a while for second hand large (baritone possibly) wind chimes for a holiday home in the tropics.
I’ve come across these.
The longest tube is apparently 33 inch and seller insists the diameter of each tube is 3 and a half inch /9 cm. (I’ve asked seller twice to re-measure...).
I have never seen wind chimes this thick and judging by the photo they’re unlikely to be 9 cm in diameter.
What are your thoughts? Any wind chimes experts around? :)

Back Garden Design Dilema
Comments (21)Hi Carolins, as requested I took a couple of pictures of the garden last night. Its one hell of a mess, I'm very very much looking forward to getting it looking nice. Would be so lovely to sit out in the sun with a glass of wine (presuming we get any more sun lol). There's 2 pictures with 2 images I've combined, one which shows the view up the garden (towards the garage) and one which shows the patio and scruffy shed. The other two images show the view from by the car (the garage is on the left) and the other shows the view from what will be the patio by the garage (there's a red Poppy in the image). Might be ok on the path through the lawn to the raised beds then. I suppose I can always add something later if need be. Wouldn't have thought I'd go over more than once or twice a day to be honest (bit difficult seeing as I'm out 12 hours most days). Still playing around with the pergola idea you suggested. Quite like the look of it, just a tad concerned it may block some of the light into the dining room (which is already quite dark). The other thing I'm not sure of yet is having the pergola there if we fence the patio off as a dog run. I'd previously though of basically fencing across the entire patio. May not though, I quite liked your initial idea for the dog run. I think that other than a few tweeks to the design (mostly to add things like compost heaps lol) I'm quite happy with what I've got. So thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it. It really helps to talk ideas through with someone....See MoreWhat can you hear at home?
Comments (20)@huffyboy - I call them all sorts. Girls invariably get called 4 different names together (theirs along my sister's). Boys like-wise with their Dads name thrown in. Often I just call out all their names in order - from eldest to youngest and see who presents themselves. Very commonly - I need a small child = one from the second clutch. Find me one that can drive = one from the first clutch. baby pink = youngest dgt round pink = eldest dgt skinny pink = middle dgt baby blue = youngest son Head-boy= eldest son aka an múinteoir (teacher) blue surfer curls = second son ball boy = third son OH = CSI Milford, forever looking out the window watching the world going by.

Comments (25)J;aCualey is free to correct at any time but it seems like he has correctly calculated that if steps are a safe 24cm deep there is enough room for 8 steps between the front door and a landing if you went straight up. This means you will need to rise a few extra steps to get into upstairs rooms. Building regs also says you need a landing and any doors at the top have to be a safe distance from the top step. So this solution does solve your downstairs problems but in my humble opinion creates upstairs issues as the landing eats into the available space. By my calculations it would reduce your bathroom size to 1.4m if you place it on the left...See MoreHow would you like Professional Garden Designers to work?
Comments (5)Typically a garden designer will be creating the design, helping with the setting out of the plan and overseeing the project. Working in the same manner as an architect might work. You wouldn't expect to find an architect laying the bricks for a house they had designed.... If I was building every garden I design myself then I would only be able to work on half a dozen gardens a year. I have built many gardens which I designed but there are other professionals who are faster and better at laying slabs, erecting pergolas etc. There is far more to know about design than most people imagine. If you are going to pay for a design service you don't really want a jack of all trades, do you? Having said that garden designers are often very passionate about the spaces they are creating, so they may choose to get involved in certain aspects of the build, usually the planting. It is not unreasonable perhaps to expect your garden designer to be a good gardener. With a garden build there may be specialist areas. An obvious thing is that an electrician will be getting the lighting installed but certain surfaces or timber work might be best done by a company who specialises in it (like say polished concrete). On a house build the people doing the roof are trained in roofing and that is probably all that they do. With gardens there does tend to be a view that somebody should be doing everything, but I don't think that there is much reasoning to that. Clients do tend to favor design and build companies, however sometimes this can mean being subject to some bias. Some design and build companies have particular deals with suppliers and always use the same materials or products in their projects. That's OK if the client is aware of this but maybe they would have liked or enjoyed some other element in the garden if the money had not gone on that? Neither the design nor the building of gardens is a regulated industry in the UK so I would say that it is best to go and see a project that any professional you are planning to work with has done. It is very mixed industry with people in all areas of it sometimes being self-taught and other times having lots of paperwork - either of them could be more masterful than the other, the only way to know is to look....See More
