When lifebyte user Steve came whingeing to us about the flat roof on his new'y rented flat we zoomed straight over there for a look.

Well, we could see where he was coming from, it was a mess: concrete, corrugated iron, metal pipes and railings and an ugly gutter; not to mention all the rubbish and tab ends lying about.

To get that urban roof garden feel you're gonna need some greenery and some furniture so I got on the case finding the right stuff. Click here for DIY garden furniture and plants. As I'd just got back from my hols in Mexico I was under the influence of that sultry colourful country (not to mention the tequila) so I decided to use that as a theme.

One of lifebyte's fave stylists, Emma Taylor was called in to give us a hand and went around begging, stealing and borrowing like a true Mexican bandito. (Alright then, she did pay for a few things.)

She made Steve muck in, as it was heavy work lugging all that gear up four storeys. 'Get off your arse,' she shouted as he sat gazing into space. Once up top, there was furniture to assemble, tiles to prime and paint, flowers to arrange, throws to hang, shrines to create click to DIY on all this stuff. Quite frankly we were knackered and had to stop for sarnie and fag breaks.
