I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Dear John & Jon :lol:

i really like that joke on the cements & paints avaliable in bali....i hope they stick well & last long for generations..! :rolleyes:

thanks & love,

Kris :)
