about 9 years ago I had my heating changed and I had brick replica stuff round the fire . when they took it out because of the new heating they didn’t put a fire back and just blocked off the hole and made it look odd . I then bought an electric fire wich quit frankly I never have used . it just sat there gathering dust . now im back on form ive been thinking about things . im kind of all or nothing . ying or yang . know middle ground . I decided to get rid of the fire and b uild a head too take the place while drawing puna the tigress and cutting down the bamboo out the front lol . the bamboo ive left over common land to be used or it can provide shelter and rot eventualy . all quit legel as I found out when I cut down some leylandi years ago . I stuck them in my plastic pig ie 3 wheeler and dumped them. someone must of called the police who turned up and asked what I was doing . I explained myself . they then started rummaging threw the branches looking for something that wouldn’t rot so they could nick me for littering . they found nothing and left unhappily leaving me grinning . havnt they got better things to do I ask myself . my 80 mother got burgled and they just gave her a crime number . anyway I digress . ive put the shape in wire then chicken wire against the wall . cut a gap in the front and dragged my bin in . I threw everything inside to stop the cement just falling threw . ive now renderd it . tomorrow I get to do the good bit and put a nice face on it . puna will then get finished as shes nearly done . wear the bamboo was is a bucket in the ground with the bottom missing . I thought this would hold it but ow know . ps the membrane is rubbish for what itsd worth too . ive poured a few kilos of salt on it . waterd it then put some more on . im then after I finish the tiger and the face going to put an old tarp over the top and build a tall planter about 6 foot wear the bamboo was . ill fill it half way with some blocks and cement . then ill use soil and grow some interesting grasses out of the top . any thaughts on coloured grass would be nice . ill keep you up to date . bye for now .
