I saw a pressed tin ceiling somewhere in Australia while I was still a child and it stuck in my mind. I cannot remember WHERE I saw it, pity!
Not going to cover my perfectly good ceiling with tin. BUT spashbacks YES! A feature wall behind the wood burning heater definitely!
Will post piccys when it is all done. Why have everything gypboard? Get some texture into your house!
I might install a dado rail (look it up!) with some of the same texture pressed “tin” panelling. This would be in my front passage.

There's an old chemist in Grafton with one, been there about a hundred years. Looks awesome. Almost everything in this pharmacy is as it was 50+ years ago. Looks awesome. There another Store in Bellingen NSW. Maybe not quite 100yrs but also looks great. Has pressed tin on some walls and a part of the ceilings. I love those old architectural features.
FUCKING RABBITS!
The little cunts LOVE eating the tender young bark on my trees! I spent yesterday afternoon slapping bituminous paint (sealant) on the bottom 40cm on trunks and branches. Ran out of “paint” before I completed covering all my trees. Will see if I can find exterior primer paint, not wanting to drive nearly 70Km to the nearest hardware store.
I am going to plant fucking potatoes everywhere! Let them grow protected by compost and mulch until they are a decent size then let the rabbits eat the plants, should kill a few or make them really sick at least. Summer tomato plants around the main part of the orchard.
The fence that will be erected will have fine mesh at the bottom, keeping the pests out. There are flowers like foxgloves that will kill the little cunts too.

DID go and buy another bucket of bituminous paint—sold as a sealer. Slap some on in between showers tomorrow—rainy for most of this week. Then clean up some rubbish, level the ground next to the house so the truck bringing firewood can get close to the woodshed.
Firewood is not cheap. Might supplement with a reverse cycle a/c—heat pump, cheapest way of heating.
