Doing a conversion to an American timber and steel barn, just north of Perth. Received planning approval 3 weeks ago. While I've been waiting (6 months) I have been putting the odd window in, painting the entire thing and building an inglenook fire place. Picked up the jarrah beam today 3.5m x 250mm x 150mm it is a rough finish at the moment and I'm not sure how smooth I want it. Not sure how to fix it to the bricks or what to treat it with, varnish or oil, bit concerned as it will be hot in the area. Any ideas? Rgds Ian Hi all, My first post, we are building a house and can’t decide the layout of the lounge room. We have a large N/W facing window and are wanting to have a wood slow… 0 13729 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 11589 I would probably render it and then paint it as per your other advice, or gyrpock over the top. 1 3344 |
