What is an enclosed outdoor round hut with a center fire pit called?
I saw such a structure at a home and garden showseveral years ago and cannot think of the name of it. It came as a kit and I think the company was based in Seattle, Washington. It may be Scandinavian in nature but I am not sure.

Hi there! Lorraine here from HOUSEDRESSINGS Ltd AUCKLAND.
www.housedressings.co.nz
Here are some vital tips for presenting your home for sale.
1. De-clutter your living spaces. Start first on the kitchen area. Clear all clutter on bench tops,window sills and clean all surfaces. All papers,bills,debris, file neatly away.
MOTTO: When in doubt – chuck it out! Or at least store it away!
2. Re-arrange living room for a good spacial flow & layout. Any pictures on walls should be placed at eye level and curb all the personal pics and effects scattered throughout.
Minimalism is best as most potential buyers can’t imagine themselves living in that space with your accumulated clutter.
3. Add some bright funky cushions to your existing sofas to modernize and enhance the setting and place a nice rug under the coffee table (maybe shagpile or something contemporary ) to complete and define the living area.
Lighting is paramount for ambiance, so include a modern standard lamp or side table and lamp.
Accessories and modern art play a huge role in creating the ‘wow’ factor and clever use of colour is most important.
These are the important factors which brings it all together.
4. Beds should be dressed up with modern duvets/plump pillows/valances/ cushions/bedside cabinets and stylish lamps. These don’t have to be expensive-go for style.
5.Bathroom: Add soap pumps/quality towels and choose colours to co-ordinate the existing.theme.
6. Don’t forget the entrance area. This is the first introduction to your home. Add a hall table with a floral arrangement or maybe a candleabra with canvas artwork above. (Abstracts work well in most settings.)
When having an open home – make sure you have some music playing in the background. Light jazz works well or easy listening classics. This helps curb the awkward silences and helps people to linger longer to create a ‘connection’ with prospective buyers.
If you feel you are out of your comfort zone in acheiving this, then call a Home Staging Professional.
HOUSEDRESSINGS Ltd are experienced in putting it all together, taking into account the style of home, existing colour scheme, best spacial layout. and your budget .
Staging can be : Partial – just a living area and a bedroom to full staging of your home, complete with outdoor furniture.
We can also pack and store your existing furniture while your home is on sale.

It’s a pity this oceangoing adventure wasn’t fully appreciated during its theatrical release in 1996, if only because its climactic storm sequence (hence the movie’s title) was awesome on the big screen and inevitably less impressive on video.

This my preamble to my question and is not chatting.?
If that young father from Whitehaven in Cumbria was proscecuted for not paying his fine imposed on him for not shutting his dustbin down properly Then the Cumbria authority would have a field day where I live (near Peterhead Scotland) as most homes have two big wheelie bins and still have them over flowing. And what happens when it’s windy… all the rubbish finds it’s way into my garden as we have to put our bins out overnight….the cats just love it..but I hate it.
I think that all local authorities ought to provide better facilities than they do.
So what do you think the answer is folks, or does your local authority provide adequate provision for the disposing of your rubbish?

The intent of home exterior design is two-fold. On the level of aesthetics, home exterior design provides an external and sophisticated compliment to the architecture of a house. By integrating Nature and man-made structures, the home interior designer creates a framework into the usefulness of the home interior can be expanded into the world beyond without compromising the beauty of the landscape. This is very important, because the functional elements of the outcome must blend effectively with indigenous vegetation, manicured lawns, outdoor decorations, and fountains in order to create an environment that is suitable and comfortable for quality outdoor family time and home entertainment functions. Only a few companies in the world of landscaping, such as Houston’s Exterior Worlds, provide this sophisticated blend of natural harmony and human creature comforts for the discriminating homeowner who is seeking a living experience beyond the norm.
Home exterior elements vary widely based on several important factors. The lifestyle of the homeowner is first among these. At the end of the day, what the resident plans to do outdoors provides our team with a great deal of information on what we can build for them. Careful analysis of the house and surrounding landscapes also plays a key role in helping us shape the specifics of a home exterior design plan. Landscaping itself forms the foundation of this plan, and acts as a framework where structures and activity centers can be blended with pockets of indigenous vegetation, gardens and manicured lawns, and large, stately trees that rise prominently in various locations within the yard.
Some of our most popular home exterior designs include, but are not limited, to the following elements
Screened-in rooms
These are ideal for parties, family gatherings, and even important, formal events. They can be equipped with anything from fine furnishings to extend a living room outdoors, or be outfitted with an entertainment system and an outdoor bar as an open entertainment area that provides convenient exposure from insects and other pests during outdoor events.
Outdoor kitchens with garden elements included
People that enjoy grilling for large groups love these open-air structures that can include everything from smokers to refrigerators. There are a number of ways that they can be designed, as well. Some can be built out of hedges, while others can be simple gravel areas open to the elements.
Pools and Patios
Many people fail to realize that pools and patios are actually exterior design elements just as much as they are home entertainment areas. Many also realize after the fact that it is much easier to have a pool installed or a patio built as part of a larger, more comprehensive design plan than it is to attempt working directly with a pool specialist or carpenter. These professionals are more used to working with general landscape contractors like Exterior Worlds and can much better serve the resident when a well-developed schematic is shown to them by an expert who speaks their language.
Arbors, Gardens, and Shade Structures
Much can be done with the simplicity of a group of trees or an ornamental garden with a fountain. Outdoor tables and benches can be placed around these areas to create gathering spaces for mingling guests. Landscape path lighting can be installed that creates walkways for people to takes short walks along winding trails that increase an illusion that the property is much bigger than it really is.
Indeed, almost all elements of a home exterior design will create a feeling of freedom and expansiveness by strategically positioning a variety of structures and conveniences in convenient locations around the property. When done correctly, it can make a property to look as large as 2 ½ to 3 times its normal size-much the way adding furniture to a room makes it look larger. The amazing range of options that this science offers to the homeowner makes it one of the most customizable design disciplines practiced. With so many natural and structural elements to work with, virtually anything can be created within the boundaries of safety, comfort, and proportional harmony that will provide lifestyle and entertainment to today’s eclectic homeowner.
