Just got next week's catalogue. Notice that Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is there. Shared a bottle a few years ago. Lovely stuff. Pity it wasn't available during winter at that price. $40 @ Aldi, $52 @ Dan's.

It will fade the colour, see attached photos. It usually sets quite hard and sometimes it helps if you leave a wet sponge on it to soften it. I'm not sure h...

Catching the water off the awning, well that's only going to work during winter, and if it rains, and if there is no wind so the...
