At a glance I thought this was the Rotating House that was on Better Homes and Gardens... I don't think it's that bad at all and JTL actually likes it. It's got, ermmm, lots of potentials. You can tell they've decluttered the whole place for the pictures. Gotta give them credit for the effort.

Yes Walsall has some bad areas BUT so do most places don't they. Believe it or not Walsall actually has some good parts too:

Oh, I'm well aware of it. After all, Skip Lane isn't too far from us - though just far enough to keep us out of that price bracket! And of course, there are some lovely houses near the Arboretum.

But if you're looking for nice houses at an affordable rate, Walsall is not the place to go. Give me Redwood Park, Vista or Yatala Vale any day!

Nope, just good old fashioned blinds.

what is all that about?! don't they know it looks terrible?!

Tiggs
Yes, we know it looks terrible - which is why a lot of people tend to cover it with creepers and vines.

But we also know that it is bloody good at stopping the UV rays - and if it comes down to "pretty" or "safe", I'll go with "safe".
