OMG I haven't checked in for ages. First off OMGGGGGGG I love it - such clean lines and does not at all look like your average shipping container build (not that I think there is such a thing as an average shipping container build). The bright white makes me feel art deco but the sharp lines are bea...

I love the cladding. It’s interesting you should mention Patterson’s Curse a friend of mine and I were discussing this on the weekend how you use to see it all the time but haven’t seen it running wild for years

Thanks AKB - I agree about the shadowline fibro. I wish I had discovered it earlier. I may consider replacing the back wall with it at a later date as I was never really satisfied with having to use battens in the first place. But it's nice to have at least one exterior wall finished!! Oh yeah don’...

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong I like the Batons I just think the sleekness of the shadow line with your build will be next...

Place looks great finished AKB and I'm so envious of your pool!! :-D I'm still a long way off! At least I have a pool (ie dam :lol:) even if I do have to share it with some yabbies. Thanks Waxing - I would love a damn I think fresh Marron are to die for but can’t talk the other half into it yet :-)

Omg where do I start? I’m so glad you weren’t badly affected by the fires but can imagine how terrifying it would have been. The view from those windows!!!!! I love the shadow line fibro (although what you did with battens was cute) I just think the shadow line is a tad more sophisticated. It’s all ...

So what is the latest? Hi Bradster181 I hope everything is going well with you. My son has been doing Motorkana and Autocross for a few years and wants to rally (has just done his first two as a co driver I’m the last couple of months). This has resulted in my backyard sometimes looking like this h...

Thanks. We used Midland Brick for the fence and just ordinary bricks for the pool itself. Our bricklayer had done pools before so it was more a case of being confident with the person building it and the procedure. We still used over $40k woth of concrete so I wasn't really a cost effectiveness plan...

Great looking pool you have there. Where did they put the pool equipment? I'm trying to get ideas on where to place ours. We went with a magnesium pool and got our equipment through ABW liners in Neerabup

The only handles I have are for the integrated fridge. I integrated the dishwashers bins etc and did no handles for any https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/16113_1551179900.jpeg https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/16113_1551179956.jpeg https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/16113_1551180007.jpeg https://forum.homeone...
