Doing a little shop fit for an exciting new shop in Geeveston.

A work in progress.

A little update on the outdoor bathtub. I’ve added the elbow joint for the flue and sorted out the rainwater pipes to capitalise on all this rain we’ve been having. 

This is just one of the many little projects I’m working on in my spare time. Not that I have much spare time these days 😂

Now that it’s Spring and Summer is fast approaching, it time for that outdoor bath project. I’ve been tinkering away at this one between jobs.

All materials used have been repurposed. I managed to score a cast iron bathtub in great condition. The decking used was the original flooring in the sun room which has been made into a kids bedroom.

It’s coming along nicely .

It’s been a few weeks of pure hustle. We are all about bathroom Reno’s over here as we smash out a beautiful bathroom. Here are some progress photos. I’ll be sure to share the finished product!

Well, it's been a very chilly start to the day. The Saddle is quite frosty right now which is fun to see. My current Shop Fit job is almost complete which means not having to drive to Kingston every day.

My next job is right here in Geeveston which I'm so looking forward to.

I hope you are all having a great day!

Tiny House Room Ad-On

I was asked by a client to convert their 1 bedroom tiny home, into a two-bedroom tiny home.

To do this, I had to:

- dismantle the unused sunroom which involved, removing all

- existing, steel frameworks and re-framing all walls in Australian

- standard treated pine

- insulate,

- lay the concrete slab which needed to be hand poured,

- sarking and installing an insulated weatherboard to all externals

- installing 1 landscape double-glazed window

- sheet and prime all plaster walls,

- paint,

- get my leccy into wire in the powerpoints and lights

- carpet,

- And finally, assemble the kid's beds. Watch this space for the video of the kids reaction

This was a most satisfying job.

It's concrete time, not that the weather was on my side for this one. Nevertheless, we had a 3-day solid sunny window so I got to work. I'd like to give a shoutout to the folks at Boral Derwent park for coming through last minute.

The tasks were as follows, and remember that time was of the essence.

The client had asked me to lay 3 concrete slabs for unique projects.

1 Concrete slab was for a hefty diesel generator complete with 100 x 100 steel supports for generator shelter. The shelter is still to be constructed.

A concrete slab for an ensuite bathroom complete with inlaid drainage work to accommodate shower, sink and floor waste.

A rough concrete sub-slab for a decorative stone surface, decorative stone yet to come.

It was a massive day, to say the least. But I knocked all three jobs over in a 6-hour period without a break as curing concrete is incredibly time sensitive.
