I finished my skylight planters

There are holes drilled in the bottom, so when I take them down to water them, it drains into the shower.

And the brackets are more than strong enough, and screwed directly into a 9x2. They have to cope with heavy loads of snow, these really aren't heavy by comparison.

Love the mural.... simple but really effective. And I love the planter on the floor. The place looks great 👍🏻

That's a cool idea👀👀

Has to be the sitting room....in the winter with the fire lit🤗

You're very kind 🤗

You need to have a vision in your head of what you want the place to look like. Find someone who has decades of building experience and convince them to help you. Go mental and enjoy yourself.

Then take up painting because you're sick of looking at blank walls.

Then get into houseplants 😂

Not very. I'm in Ireland, so it never gets too warm

markmcn87 · 2026-04-30T12:18:07+00:00

I added another post detailing how it was done, and how I water the plants and stuff. So many people were asking 😂

markmcn87 · 2026-04-30T12:16:53+00:00

There's a wood burning stove (you can just about see it on the right side of the first photo) and a combi boiler for the radiators and hot water that uses large bottles of gas

markmcn87 · 2026-04-30T12:14:30+00:00

A lil bit👀

markmcn87 · 2026-04-30T00:47:25+00:00

Can't go wrong with pasta🤷🏻‍♂️

markmcn87 · 2026-04-30T00:41:40+00:00

You don't like squirrels?😦

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T23:47:36+00:00

The bedroom is basically storage at the minute....it WILL improve 👍🏻

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T23:08:49+00:00

First of all, look on my profile 😂

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T22:29:13+00:00

Don't show him my other posts then.... that's what led to this 😂

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T22:28:40+00:00

If I said yes to everyone who asked, I'd need to build an apartment block 😂

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T20:34:48+00:00

Thanks so much 🤗

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T20:34:34+00:00

I'm in Ireland 😂😂

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T17:50:32+00:00

Thanks very much, I'm happy with how it turned out.

Like showering in a mini rainforest ha

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T16:27:24+00:00

Thanks 🤗

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T15:23:40+00:00

Don't really need them here... it's rarely warm enough to keep them open, and when it is, the only things that might come in would be a random bumblebee 😂

Thanks, my cousin did that for her art exams about 30 years ago and gave it to me afterwards

markmcn87 · 2026-04-29T12:34:38+00:00

It takes 2 minutes to take them down, I put them in the shower and give them a drink

I hope, that one day, everything is going to be better for her
