It is strange how we often ignore what are within easy reach. I've been to Disneyland in Anaheim, California that many Americans confessed they hadn't been. No difference here. I too must confess that I have not been around my own country as much as I should. Perhaps I was thinking that I can travel anytime since Malaysia is not a very big country. With the good roads, good hotel accommodations, a

Cascades have been part of metropolitan parks from the time of the Babylonians and the lynching backyards. In early times, cascades in the recreational area dished up as a water supply for domestic animals and human beings.

Our house is built into a hill, with a walk-out basement. This means that on our first floor, we have a large deck a story off the ground that spans the back of the kitchen/living room. It's great, and certainly maximizes the view of the bog and pond, but it has been a little problematic in terms of access to the backyard. The backyard itself is shallow and wide, and sloping, and you can't see

Rather than starting out sitting down and sliding into the steep part, you start standing up on a trap door that they pull out from underneath you. This is way cooler than any ride I did at Aquatica (video after the jump).

I think we have all thought of starting a business in our own backyards. Believe me, I was one of them. My hair brained scheme was worm farming. It really made sense at the time. I was in my early 20's and still living at home with my parents. I worked full time and even in those days I yearned to have my own business. We had a decent backyard in suburbia and no one was using it for anything in

There’s a 12′ x 8′ concrete pad along our property line in the back yard. The previous owner started putting old branches and leaves there - I suspect this is where they routinely burned yard waste. They never got around to burning the last pile, which nearly covered that pad, and so it [...]

Well this is the little "camp site" they set up on the side of the yard by the play house. In order for me to get it all in the picture I had to take it from far away so it is hard to see some of the details. On the little porch of the playhouse I planted some flower seeds in pots. Also that lump of brown to the right of the middle is actually the fire pit full of wood. I just noticed that our dog

For many Australians, their love affair with Bali is a life-long commitment. So it’s not very surprising that so many yearn to recreate just some of that lushness in their own backyards.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has  banned the use of a cancer-causing wood preservative. That's the good news.    The bad news is that the substance, known as CCA (for chromated copper arsenate), is embedded in 90% of all outdoor wooden structures, including decks and play equipment. If you have any outdoor wooden structures there is a good chance you're within exposure distance to arsenic.     So, if you're thinking of refurbishing your deck instead of buying a new one, or have wood structures on your premises, learn to be aware of the hazards. Take reasonable steps to protect your family from unnecessary exposure to the arsenic that leaches from CCA-treated wood.    Arsenic exposure from pressure treated wood&
