Hi Spiderman, I take your point on keeping the outhouse for storage. Its built like the proverbial (well it is the proverbial). There is room here and door is already outward opening. BTW it bangs like the proverbial on a windy night. Silly problem but actually a bit of an issue. I...

More photos of rear courtyard of my Redfern terrace. The second and third photos were taken today-2 years after the first one (while standing against the rear wall which you can see in photo one). Water falls towards the gulley trap which you can just see in the second photo-the gulley trap is...

Wow Armadio, I can picture what you are saying. I like the idea of extending the area at front of terrace out and using tiles. Managing agent has already suggested that the palm at front could be removed. Privacy screen using non-invasive bamboo on southern side could be the go. On the...

Thanks for that input Spiderman. I've seen what you're referring to with quite a few other terraces around mine. Can already visualise it. I have sort of acquired what was here when I bought it about 17 years ago and done very little to it. The water that flows through here in heavy rain...

Am about to relet my terrace and may (if I could be bothered) paint or do something to change the rear courtyard. It takes a lot of water when it rains. At the moment it is ultra glarey. Bright paint on concrete would have faded (as photo taken a few years ago). Maybe a shade cloth could be...
