Cute idea and one I guess a lot of people have considered in the past.
One Australian /Macedonian guy has severla waterfalls in his house aong
those kinds of lines but household servants are relatively affordable in
Macedonia.
one question I ask myself every time I get an idea like this is who is
going to clean it and how and with what products is the cleaning going
to get done to which standards and what effect will this have? Will it
grow mild? Maybe interior blinds on the inside of an argon sealed space.
