Rad,
Don't get me going about not having sugar here.. you can go to the store and NOT find it.. like your coffee its silly.. our problem is we export it all.. and then have to buy more expensive Guyana sugar.. GO figure.. LOL.. what the problem is the Gov't made a commitment to the EU to sell sugar.. Fine.. that's a good idea.. but NOOOO they add a quota.. so the island doesn't make it.. and ALL the sugar get shipped off to Europe leaving the locals with none. To add insult to injury the Gov't get penalized for not making quota. WE could go on for years about our little dramas that make 3rd world living so much fun..
Understand about not wanting to get feet wet..:-x
I like the idea about shade trees..the wife is growing a Money Pod tree which is a canopy rain forest tree.. and it would make a really nice shade block..and it grows faster than weeds..
Getting back to topic..LOL.. you mentioned a drive over runoff spillway.. Are you talking about laying a culvert and covering with rock then building the driveway on top???
My concern with that is fish can be so stupid.. I grown Tropical aquatic plants.. and have that kind of overflow in the plant tanks.. and I keep finding fish in the filter.. these TSTL (To Stupid To Live) fish play chicken with the water run off and loose more times then naught.. So when the big rains come.. I can just see me running around the cane field collection the suicidal fish..How solve???
Theo,
No Need for the apology.. I can understand.. you 1st Worlders..get so distracted by such simple pleasures..ROFL..
Thanks for the info on the water proofing.. it helps YEAH YEAH
Yeah I was thinking about buying that book ..IMHO I saw that PondBoss wanted to Gouge international shipping..I know that from the US Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope is 11.00 for 4 lbs or less and to charge 25.00 shipping is a little extreme. and I doubt that this book is a coffee table book.. it's probably no bigger then 9x12.. That's my wank.. I sure would like to know some more about the contents.. there is SUCH a big difference between Temperate and Tropical climates that everyday I learn something new it contradicts what I knew would work in Temperate climate that won't work here..
