Hi Valerie. There is no solid covering to the structure just a metal open grid frame for supporting climbing plants or lanterns

Father's Day - What have you learnt from your dad?
Q
Comments (9)
My Father taught me to pattern cut and sew on our old Singer treadle machine, which he later 'motorised'. His Father was a Court Taylor who taught him these skills. I bought my 1st sewing machine - a Frister and Rossman Cub 4 - from a friend's Mothers Freeman's catalogue, paying for it with my weekly pocket money. I was 16 and still use it today, 46 years later. I've made everything from Children's clothes to Wedding and Bridesmaid dresses for friends, Ball gowns for myself, and most of my clothes as a student, regularly scouring the Birmingham 'rag' market'. I recently made a cover for a friend's boat wheel. Whenever I get my trusty machine out I think of him and visualise him laying brown paper out on the dining table to teach me my most beloved skill.

We are remodeling our home and have a huge pile of concrete from removing a fireplace and chimney. I'm interested in building a similar terrace and barrier wall on my hillside and saw your comment on this process, using recycled concrete. Can you give me more information about your process?

Tell us: Do you have any home renovation regrets?

Whilst I recognise there's a few tradespeople on here bemoaning fussy clients I have to say my biggest regrets when renovating my house was not being specific enough with trades! We had an electrician put in an extra light switch in the hall to control both the downstairs and upstairs lighting. He put it in a good 10-15cm lower than the other switch further along the same wall which looked completely ridiculous. Made him move it in line with the other one much to his annoyance. Another similar incident was with a vertical column rad for the kitchen - whilst I was specific enough this time to ask it be centered to the wall it was on, he installed it much higher than needed with about 30cm of pipe sticking out the bottom! It would have looked much better in line with the doorframe adjacent. Had to learn to live with that one. We had engineered wood floors put in upstairs - the fitter used the shortest wall in the smallest room to take a plumbline from. When it came into the hall it was obviously on a complete wonk. By this point I'd gotten a bit better at speaking up and ensuring we actually got what was needed (and paid for!). He had to take it up and re-lay using the hall as the plumbline. Looked so much better but he was extremely annoyed! After all this I learned to use masking tape to direct exactly where pipes/light switches/trim should be fitted so there was no room for 'interpretation'. I also forced myself to speak up more and advocate for what I really wanted. That said I'm a designer by trade so I generally know what I want and how to make it look good but was definitely a bit too shy to contradict trades in the beginning!
