Awkward bit, near "X" on the plan, safe. The rules are pretty clear; any spot with a drop of 1 metre or more requires a rail.

Our croft, located near the south coast of NSW, is a work in progress. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Goodbye 2014, hello 2015. I remember Mum saying more than once that the years go faster as you get older (they must truly fly by for her now! And I think she's right. This year has just ripped by and while we've been busy it seems that "the list" hasn't shortened by much. Is up The bathroom cupboard. Is restored and ready to install. The linen press doors. Brass knobs with copper plates. I wonder how much o...

Our croft, located near the south coast of NSW, is a work in progress. Sunday, July 10, 2016. It's like starting over. The steel frame is scheduled to arrive in August. But wait there's more. 65279;. Having completed the upstairs cupboards and plastering we decided it was finally time to oil the stairs. The change is just amazing.

Our croft, located near the south coast of NSW, is a work in progress. Sunday, March 30, 2014. Rolex and a sample of our. Every now and then an opportunity pops up that is just too good to miss. One of those came our way the other day. An advert on Gumtree. The stairs and Rolex. With his winter coat on). The last time I saw anything vaguely resembling this was at the Grenfell tip.

Pemberley: February 2014
http://pemberley-estate.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Our croft, located near the south coast of NSW, is a work in progress. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Before, during and after. After restoring 10 sheets of antique pressed tin for our bathroom ceiling I feel that I'm somewhat of an authority on the subject. At least on the topic of how to prepare and paint the stuff - but it did take some experimentation. Plan A for ridding the decades of paint, dirt and unidentifiable gunk was a wire brush on an electric drill. Heat an area of about 30cm x 30cm until th...

Pemberley: January 2014
http://pemberley-estate.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Our croft, located near the south coast of NSW, is a work in progress. Friday, January 31, 2014. The right tin to do. 65279;. Pressed tin in the bathroom. Installing it brought its own challenges, particularly for two vertically challenged builders like Jeanette and I. But I have to say the end result is just what we were after. We still have the cornice to go - I'm wondering about carving an egg and dart design into Tassie Oak. But I hope I talk myself out of it! Monday, January 13, 2014. You may...

Pemberley: September 2015

Our croft, located near the south coast of NSW, is a work in progress. Wednesday, September 30, 2015. Pine handrail and copper balusters. So, after a nice distraction. We’re back to the main job – installing the hand rail and balusters on the staircase. The pine hand rail we’re using came from a 100 year old house. And, would you believe, is just about the right length. The balusters on the other hand took quite a lot of thinking. But we figured we wanted to finish this decade and dismissed the idea.

Our croft, located near the south coast of NSW, is a work in progress. Sunday, June 15, 2014. A cupboard with history. A couple of weeks ago we picked up the fifth set of French doors we'd been hunting for from a second hand place in Wombat, NSW. To sweeten the deal the owner offered to throw in a small blue cupboard. It looked like what we had in mind for over our bathroom basin - so it found a new home along with the doors. The cupboard has turned out to be quite interesting. Firstly, it has a s.

Our croft, located near the south coast of NSW, is a work in progress. Tuesday, September 20, 2016. It was with great excitement that we took delivery of our shed frame the other week. Manufactured by The Steel Framing Company. TSFC), owned by Will and Sarah. It is a work of art. As Will pointed out, it's not really a shed, but a class 1A dwelling (ie a house) with no internal walls. Hence the unshed-like diagonal braces and verandas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
