- Ripped out ugly MASSIVE Jade Plant by side door
- Which ripped out some other ugly succulent
- Filled space left behind with 2x wheelbarrows of woodchips
from prior stumpings
- Chucked my potted Meyer Lemon and Calamondian trees up there
to fill the void ( they are about to blossom, and the goodly stink will
waft in the house, oh yeah ! )
- Wondered what else I could do
- Realised I needed to test the sample pot of fence paint
( Dulux Kosciusko )
- Painted a couple of panels on the garage
- Kosciusko a tad too blue, but I have a litre of paint,
what to do ?
- Paints over "Peach Pit" ( heh, Jason Priestly ) side steps
( anything is better than an 80's apricot )
Ahhh .. I feel better already... ( even if it is a tad too blue ... )

Wow! All this progress! It's been perfect weather for it, that's fer sure... Enjoy that wine - looks like you've earned a glass or two :)
Oh no. I don't think it looks too blue. It looks wonderful. It is a gorgeous colour.
Lovely colour!! If you think that is too blue...I'll post you a photo of my steps soon...really blue!
There's a dulux colour - 'boatshed' - that I think may be the blue of your dreams for outdoor blue-ing... although I completely get using up the existing litre first and I do like this blue, too!
And now you're done with your jade plant - could you come and deal with mine? It's between the two azaleas I mentioned in the email and I've only been able to ignore it because they've been blooming!
Not too blue at all, I love it. Picks up that slate/grey/blue colour in your bricks nicely. And ripping out a jade plant! Bad fengshui for you, my friend.
Ha, Bec !
I know Boatshed .. used to have a pot of that ( another house, another lifetime ). I think i'm after a bit more slate/grey in my mix this time.
Jo - I wondered if someone would mention my bad feng shui :( Believe me, it was old and ugly - nothing that ugly can be good luck, right .. right ?? ( besides, we've still got more of the stuff .. previous owner loved the stuff.. )
If you find it - let me know! We need one like boatshed but greyer as the deep colour for a three-tone update on our 1920s facade. Some people up the road have a similar look but their blue is a bit too green (as opposed to a bit too blue... you know what I mean!)
I rather like the blue... I too, have always seen the green or the blue in other colours!& so does my brother My Mum thought we were a bit freaky!
Thought about the bad feng shui--- but the ugliness of those Jade plants CANT be lucky!? Surely UGLY is not good!
Love those stairs.
It's not the bad luck I would be worried about, it's all that money you will be missing out on!
