ROOF STARTS TODAY 03/02/2011!. Re: Bel's new house - Upstairs bricking - Roof next 672Mar 23, 2011 7:56 am Southies Bel, how is the upstairs flooring standing up to all this rain ???? Has W screwed the flooring down yet or will that happen after the roof goes on ? Will let you know more tomorrow but yes the flooring will be screwed down and sanded after roof goes on. Tom's Playroom Hi Bel, How are you? It has been ages and no I have not dropped off the face of this earth! So good to see that the house is coming along so well. Even now those Blackheaths are looking amazing. I have spent the last three weeks on my own journey...it's called the 'lets renovate and uncover issues that I did not even know were there journey' LOL! aka where the hell does all this dust come from! Anyway, will drop you a PM soon but wanted to say that your place is looking great. I have been off the forums for some time but I will be keeping an eye on your build. It's going to be awesome. Take care Greg Greg! You are back!!! Give me a call when you get a chance, would love to catch up Have you noticed we now have a renovators section the forum - you'll have to start a thread of your place! pedro.lyn.josh I gotta say your far from old fashioned I was going to go blackheaths 1st opt Or blue nova then I settled for render understand I settled cause I didn't want the maintenance render gives you But the pic in my head took over so more work for Pedro I love your house I'm glad u got that brick I can imagine what mine would have looked like I love your plans very cool We both were smart enough to get cubs in the stairs Hey Pedro - you always crack me up, don't know why Yep I'm loving the blackheaths, and yep one of the reasons we didn't get render was the maintenance! Oh and the cupboard under the stairs is for when the kids are naughty Just joking. Maybe. Good news is that the brickies were back on site yesterday (thank goodness Mondays rain stopped), so I really do think that the bricking will be completed by the end of the week. *Fingers crossed* I have already told DH to call the builder to pre empt them finishing and make sure they have a trade for us on Monday. Not sure if that will happen but you gotta try right? I'm thinking roof tiles/gutters etc will be delivered next, and in reality there isn't room on the block to put the materials until the brick/sand/bricking stuff gets out of the way. WIll keep you posted - oh and once it's done I will get pictures! And I will get them off the camera! Bel Still not in. Don't ask!? Re: Bel's new house - Upstairs bricking - Roof next 673Mar 23, 2011 8:19 am Halleb****yluia, something's happening ! Let's hope the roof goes on next!!! 7 months from build start & still no roof! Westminster should be ashamed of their pathetic planning schedules - if they actually have any! bel Will let you know more tomorrow but yes the flooring will be screwed down and sanded after roof goes on. Heya, don't forget to check the floors after the sanding. Sometimes the sanding can strip off the head off the top of the screw. THis can be a serious problem if the flooring is nailed - squeaky floors. Maybe not a major drama if screws are used but still not ideal if the screw is compromised! Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Bel's new house - Upstairs bricking - Roof next 674Mar 23, 2011 8:04 pm Yay Bel! great that more progress. Definitely can't wait to see more pics. Just had a real close look at your plans to the original design - I can see the changes you have made to the entry area, rearranging the position of linen cupboards (one converted to a Broom), different entry shape and moving garage, switching positions of kitchen (was that because of location of sunshine?) and upstairs smaller WIR and no linen cupboard in Computer area. But I actually think your design result is better - somehow a bit tidier / cleaner lines. Well done! As for Westminster's 7 month slow progress... well, we are still looking to switch to them from Masterton. All builders have delays I think... I am definitely watching your build closely SunshineT's Build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=34585 Designs start: 4/12/09 DA: 5/7/11 Demo: 22/12/11 Slab: 24/2/12 Keys: 31/8/12 Bel's new house - Upstairs bricking - Roof next 675Mar 23, 2011 10:41 pm Lol Ok well listen up let's not get carried away here I can't remember how many kids you have but with my 6 here is some experienced wisdom for ya! The cub under stairs NO GOOD! if some one comes they'll hear em so use the cub for what it's meant for So this is what u do and yes I have done this Go upstairs when your floor is screwed in and roof tiles on Look for a real good possi for a good sized man hole but in this case kid hole This hole should be directly beside space in the roof big enough to move under and around freely Then goto your builder and tell him to screw more yellow tongue in Guaranteed no one will hear em Hahahahaha Seriously if you havnt thought of it you should it's great storage and cheap to do https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=37134 THE THREAD https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35962 THE BLOG! http://pedrosinspiredbeauty.blogspot.com/ BRICKS BRICKS ARE FINISHED...
