Where do you draw the line?

 

I draw it where I feel comfortable, based on my own experiences, research, risk tolerance, knowledge of my children's skills and abilities, and (of course) significant personal biases.

Yep I think that is right and should totally be dependent on those things rather than ‘at this age it’s unsafe’. At 12 I was pretty good at riding horses since I had been riding for 6 years by then, but skiiing or climbing, nah. Hell you wouldn’t even get me doing skiing or climbing as an adult.

I really hated the concrete house.  The guy obviously makes some serious money diving.  I think any house built exclusively of one material would not look good to me, with a log cabin about the only exception I can think of.  A palette of mixed materials and finishes has so much more interest and aesthetic appeal. I kept imagining the next owners of the house skimming the walls, both inside and out...

I take it the other series "impossible build" has finished? or is it just on a break this week. If so it was a short series.

 

Mind you I think that's all the new ones for this series of GD, looks like it's a "revisited" one next week.

 Apparently our friends chatted to the new owners and the wife told them it was a nightmare to live there with two small children and those stairs..
