Carpet pattern technologies compared

There are now five different sorts of paint/resin/thermoplastic transfers in the shortlist for the carpet pattern. Each have their pros and cons. There's a chart to help compare. If you have a strong opinion on this, or care to help make the decision or would like more details, PLEASE CONTACT TED ASAP! The thermoplastic transfers are very very expensive (over £100 square metre) and it's unlikely it will do, even though this is the quickest to apply. The other four treatments will all involve residents doing the masking, and in some cases, professionals doing the painting. They cost £10 - £30 square metre.

Convertible bench chair

Here's a bench that converts to a table. It's white and plastic and nasty, but I'm looking into having this done in wood. The idea is that in the event a picnic table proves to be too appealing a honeypot for would-be late night partiers, a removable pin that keeps it in table form could be stashed away and the 'default' position would be bench.
