    Ah! That's where I was going wrong. My maid used her foxen tongue - absolutely pleasurable but didn't clean the lights too well. :p

    Yeah, at first glance it appears so, but the fitting is 37KG and sits in the void at the front entrance... right above the stairs. You can only get to it with a gigantic A frame Ladder..and even then it would be difficult. The installation was difficult because of that. So we opted to be able to lower it for maintenance.

    You gotta have concrete balustrades everywhere to be a real wog. Concrete Balustrade.jpg

    It's a requirement of the neighborhood. You know, you've probably driven past this one in Sydney. :eek:

    Nope, missing the lemon tree/fig tree (with netting)tomato plants/zucchini/cucumber(insert other fruit tree) in the front yard. Also that house has reasonable colour coordination. A real wog house will have various colours that don't match whatsoever. :D

    Cucumber is actually a berry and definitely not a tree. :p

    Glad that my age sensors are still functioning.

    Don't ever bother cleaning them,

    Eventually you will have an awesome Halloween decoration that everyone will want a selfie of underneath.
