The Surf Shack!: Septics, Steve the plumber, roof flashing and final cladding
http://buildingthesurfshack.blogspot.com/2010/06/septics-steve-plumber-roof-flashing-and.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. Septics, Steve the plumber, roof flashing and final cladding. Luckily, the first earthmoving contractor I contacted had the perfect piece of machinery to do the job which fitted quite easily through the space available. Of course, we now also needed to call on the services of a plumber and we chose the inimitable Steve Larkman, also a local musician , who I had first met at the Great Southern Institute of Technology where I work. I must acknowledge here Michelle's fantastic contrib...

The Surf Shack!: The back door, ceilings and internal frames
http://buildingthesurfshack.blogspot.com/2010/06/back-door-ceilings-and-internal-frames.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. The back door, ceilings and internal frames. So now all we need is to install a back door and and the project will have reached the milestone of lock up. Yee Ha! So all is looking pretty damn fine from the outside now so finally we are working inside which is a relief as winter is now upon us and finally our floor is protected from the elements. Although the ceilings are well over 3 metres at the highest point, getting the sheets up and fixing them is not too bad, once we have a or...

The Surf Shack!: October 2009
http://buildingthesurfshack.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Well - what did this block look like? So glad you asked. It has a 10 degrees slope, it was cleared to some extent at the top and thick with trees surrounded by a deep layer of Karri leaf and bark litter at the bottom. What we did not know at the time of purchase was the extent and length of time it would take to clean the block up and make it as fire safe as possible. For a few months though, it was left to it's own devices until my Mother passed away in March 2008. At the tim...

This Colonial Life: I was born in..................
http://thiscoloniallife.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-was-born-in.html
Thursday, June 3, 2010. I was born in. Glasgow, Scotland at 1pm on the 4th of April 1953. Just myself, my mother Amy and the hospital staff in attendance, as my father Jimmy, who was an outstanding amateur golfer, was out on the course apparently. He was a qualified Chartered Accountant who had married Amy, a Registered Nurse, on the 18th of December 1951 in Glasgow's All Saint's Church. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

This Colonial Life: June 2010
http://thiscoloniallife.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 3, 2010. Singapore - the early days. So this is how we would have arrived in Singapore and provides a snapshot of the type of life my parents would have enjoyed in the 1950s. Our first residence was a flat at Fife House in Grange Road, which was off Orchard Road, one of the main thoroughfares out of the city. This is the view from the balcony looking up Grange Road and as you can see below, I really was quite young to have travelled so far at such an early age. I was born in. I exclaimed o...
