Contrary to what most people would think (including me), it only cost around $100 to fill up which took about 15 hours all up.

Fast forwarded + photo heavy 10Dec 10, 2015 12:39 am After looking around for months, we finally sourced these beautiful ironbark timbers from a yard in Kingslake. The seller actually got caught up in the Black Saturday fires back in 2009 but thankfully survived without too much damage. (Posts are not from fire damaged areas). The larger 300mm x 300mm post is more than a century old and was removed from Melbourne Pier near Docklands and has some beautiful character to it, while the other 3 posts are 250mm x 180mm were used in a NSW railway and contain some original plate marks. These are all structural and A grade timbers, with the larger post weighing around 300kg. The larger timber will be a corner post where the 2 stacker doors meet, creating a stunning centre piece. I chiselled out a channel where one of the stacker doors will be mounted so we can run electrical cables for lighting and have a modern switch plate to create an old&new look, while the other smaller timbers will be on the other end of the stackers each while the last one will be on the corner in our master bedroom.

I chiselled out a channel on the stacker door side making room for electrical cables so we can mount a light switch on the lounge side. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Custom owner build in Hume - VIC - Tiling Stage http://goo.gl/qpPglB Re: OB in Hume area - VIC.
