Yellow Vehicles

Mellow Yellow Monday is coming again!

If you have your own vehicle; what color is it? Ours is black. I like to see yellow vehicles; as it can attract other’s attention. But until now, we haven’t yet wanted to change the current color into yellow. We still have no brave, hehehe.

A Bamboo Bridge

This bridge is located at the back of my grandfather's house. Very simple one; but still useful. Every time acrossing it; I always walk very slowly.

Don't you dare walking on it?

The Weekend in Black and White

Fencing (2)

Here are another timber fences; for your inspiration :

Wooven planks
This interesting variation features thin, horizontal planks (25 to 38 mm) running to alternate sides of the posts. It looks much like knitting. Like the staggered fence, it also allows for air and plant movement but is a better concealer.

Sapling
As the name implies, this type of fence is constructed by erecting posts and rails to which thin sapling trunks are nailed. It produces a very pleasing natural effect.
Brush
This is another natural looking fence. Wire is stretched between galvanized posts to support thin, interwoven brush branches. The effect is somewhat sombre and repetitive but a few plants growing here and there can make all the difference.

Pickets
The most ornate of the timber fences and very English in appearance, pickets require much work in the painting department to keep them looking smart. Whether is suits your property depends on the style of the house.

Be careful with the type of timber you choose. Radiate pine is unsuitable because it tends to crack and twist severely. Western red cedar or tallow wood would be ideal.

Lattice
Although not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, a lattice fence more than repays you with its good looks. Because it allows the passage of air, it is exceptionally sturdy in very windy locations.

On the Tollroad

Monday is Mellow Yellow Time!

One of the ways to reach Bandung city (the capital city of West Java, Indonesia) is through Cipularang tollroad. This time I share a view that I like during the journey.

Have a great Monday, every one...

A Laboratory Building

This Lab is located inside Bogor Botanical Gardens (Bogor, West Java, Indonesia).

Fencing

Fencing is something that is often attended to last in a home improvement program, by which time money is short and the cheapest has to suffice. Try not to let this happen; fencing creates a significant first impression.

You may need to go for security more than looks; or for impenetrability if you’re trying to keep animals out of your garden. If appearance is all that counts, then your choice is infinite. The cost and availability will vary depending on your location.

Timber

Paling
This is probably the cheapest form of fencing. The palings are nailed to rails which are morticed into posts spaced at between 1800 and 2400 mm centres. Whether of hardwood or of treated pine, these palings will weather to a grey tone and are long lasting. Use a little imagination, as shown here, and you can create some interesting effects.

Shiplap
The effect is created by nailing the palings so that every second one overlaps the preceding and following one by about 20 mm. When the sun strikes the fencing, an interesting shadow effect results.

Staggered
Here the palings are put on alternate sides of the rails; this may not be ideal for privacy but it does allow cross-ventilation and the movement of climbing vines.

Post and rail
While even less privacy is afforded by this fence, it is suitable for large areas where the cost of solid fencing would be prohibitive.
