Renderers on site to finish the remainder of the walls, guys all worked like a well oiled machine, cant wait to see what it looks like after its painted.
Every window to be removed, frames replaced and glass due to vandalism and damage
Meanwhile, we have Gas and Power on site, so no more generators just power bills :) This is the device they use to dig under the roadway to run the gas line.
Scaffolding back up to fix the render and repaint top floor, the cage is back on.
Finally stegbar install our dinning window, all the light coming in yay!
Progress after all this time is so awesome to see, just having the site cleaner arrive and take the skip away brings fresh new life into the shell that was our gloomy house. Below is the beam for the garage which was installed upside down... and was bowed 30mm in the centre - only after 18months since it was installed!
Here's me playing with the FLIR camera with the building inspector for a update on the remedial work, its great for finding leaks and assisting with moisture locating.
Another project ive been on is my projector screen i'm building, i have tested with lycra, backout curtain, projector screen material and found painted wall to be better then them all. Used heavy duty angle to hold the weight of the frame and magnets from old hard drives to steady it. Screen size will be 3.2m across ample for the room its in.
Irrigation valve box to house the bore pump and cabling
And finally me going to town on the trenches out the back, i stopped counting the shear amount of time it has taken me, it started off as a bit of a test to see how far i could go and how much motivation i had left in it, by the end of it i kept telling myself to get a dingo for one day and have it all done. I ran the gravity connection to the two rain water tanks, water to the deck and to the other side of the yard. together with power and networking to the shed. The sparkies thought i was crazy and even gave me a hand here and there. The things you find underground in your garden! some yee-old vacum cleaner all sorts of glass, golf balls, bricks and bra's
Mini Site Supervisor inspecting my joins, and the progress!
Next week ill be starting on the deck, huge effort from Desyn so far, great to see so much happening!
Oh Cookie, have just caught up on all your recent blogs. It's finally starting to take shape and look like a home. Bless that after all you've gone through, there is finally light at this very long tunnel!
