Workmanship is shoddy and finishing details are left unfinished. It's a huge problem. They don't even seal around doors or windows...Susie of Arabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315336613944665651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541237918716814863.post-28504832649046044752016-02-14T05:07:49.244+03:002016-02-14T05:07:49.244+03:00I used to live over there for a few years from 195...I used to live over there for a few years from 1959 to 1965, in Dhahran, Abqaiq, and Ras Tanura and Al Khobar and I gotta tell ya looking at the art and the architecture of what they are doing where you are now, amazingly even to me, I have to say I find what you can see these days in Mexico to be much more interesting.

This is something that the U.S. doesn't care much about so you don't see things like this very often even in parks. In my own landscape, however, I have started making mosaic walkways and patios. They may be a little time consuming but they are wonderful when they are done. The Daisy mosaic path is the walkway that first inspired me which you can view here: https://www.builddirect.com/blog/cool-garden-paths-that-are-off-the-beaten-path/Sandy Beachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073311782088822945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541237918716814863.post-59200072179876743992016-01-24T21:59:04.889+03:002016-01-24T21:59:04.889+03:00Wow, that is pretty!Wow, that is pretty!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.com
