That's one job down. Still waiting for council approval. I rang last week but I'm still waiting for the promised call back.

Re: Studio (fancy shed) build 12May 08, 2014 11:48 am We knocked off work early on Tuesday and picked up four jarrah framed glass doors very cheaply and several large jarrah framed windows for free, thanks to Gumtree. They all have good sturdy frames. Just got to clean off the numerous coats of gloss white paint. Maybe paint stripper... or I might try the hot air gun first. And then last night the rains really came. We added more than 10,000 litres to our depleted drinking water supply. The paddocks are starting to turn green again and Lake Chittering actually has some water in it.

I'll be writing back and asking for justification and seeking a second quote.
