Had a few delays with deliveries, so started leveling the large recycled joists that I had fitted a while back, I thought they were pretty flat till I started running the level over them. Three days later and about 4 sets of planner blades they were flat,75 mm wide 80 year old hardwood can be stuburn. I then started fitting the floor boards (once again salvaged, thankfully they went down quite easily but I found parts in my back that I never knew could hurt. I laid about a third of the floor before the galvo cladding was delivered and gave me an excuss to stop laying floors Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I also fitted another panel of the blackbutt weather boards and fitted a bunch of trims etc to the exsposed roof beams to ensure a clean line join when the internal wall cladding is fitted.

I admire a man who can build alone. As a tradesman that I used to work with told me when I was an apprentice "if you cant do it on your own, your beat". I never really understood what he meant at the time but as a tradesman I understand it well. I like to work alone and it is surprising what you can do with a little ingenuity. I love the look of your place, the use of recycled materials and galv custom orb looks great and really suits the setting. Good on you mate, I'll keep watching.
