Ha as it happens we are back to it today!! I have some HelpXers staying for the next few months and they will begin sanding the remaining roof beams…

It's really coming along and looking great!!
Sad to hear your little angle grinder died, I have been through a range of grinders over the years, still have a few…

I have sent you a PM Jaben and Heidi.

Terry, yes this pavilion is feeling fairly straight forward, dare I say 'easy'. It is going together a lot quicker when I do have to chance to spend time…

Ever so slow.... but I have finished the sub floor structure, fitted the bathroom flooring and have started putting up the roof beams and wall frames. In between making a…

Place is looking fantastic, well done, lots of energy and effort have gone into it and it shows. Love the recycled pallet work, great textures and forms, very nice,…

Not much happening at the moment as the focus is on making a few dollars over the busy summer season and wet weather has really limited work on the…

I faced the same problem with my place It is not that difficult, but you do need two people and you need…

Veseli, I note from a lot of your previous respones on other threads that you troll these boards offering your services as a builder after trying to talk down…

Tough question as there are so many variables, I think the base price is about $1000 to $2500 per meter. I have friends that have built beach shack style…

Here is a great write up about our place in a fab little blog written by our neighour from down the road. It is a good sumary of the…

Good luck!!
