Hi mimsimpson66 and kooky_ karen, he does really love it. It doesn't look nearly as tidy as that in reality most of the time, he is a normal teenage boy, but he does love that it can look that good when he wants it too and by being as well organised as it is, we were able to leave him plenty of floor space so the room feels spacious. Thanks for your positive feedback :)

I have never used estapol over chalk paint, I am just wondering how it goes. I have always used wax. Thanks if you can up date me on this. I find chalk paint quite expensive.. I use Annie Sloan brand is there a less costly alternative, though I do like A.S colours etc.

Hi Patricia, that sounds like one of those 'rules of thumb' that can't necessarily be relied upon. There are a lot of factors to consider when burying or partially burying a water tank including the hydrostatic pressure (if you have a high water table there is a change the tank could float right out of the hole when empty), soil pressure which could distort your tank etc. I guess the first question I would ask you is 'why a 30,000L tank?'. Are you diverting all of your downpipes? How much roof area to you have? There may be other space saving solutions that don't rely on you partially burying a tank. Happy to help if you want to send me an email or just reply here.

Hi all, I just thought I would make people aware of the MY BUILD app which is designed for anyone who is building or undertaking any kind of home improvement project. The app is full of features from a virtual filing cabinet for all of your documents and allows customisable files, a pin board space where you can save all of your inspiration photos and construction photos, a budget area to help keep your finances on track, a space to save room/area sizes so you know everything will fit where it needs to, a calendar which lists your appointments in a clear and easy to read format (this can also sync. with your main calendar if you choose and finally a notes section where you can keep all your relevant notes, minutes, ideas and thoughts....with photos attached if that's what you need. My Build has been available in Australia since January and is now available in North America, UK, Ireland and New Zealand - there is a free version. Check out the web site www.mybuildapp.com.au to find out more or search My Build in the App Store or Google Play. Thanks for reading.
