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...

Ramsnakeyes: January 2015
http://ramsnakeeyes.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. Exploring photography using an iPhone 6. For the last 2 years, I have chosen a specific interest to study in more depth. The first year, I chose cryptic crosswords as it had always annoyed the hell out of me that I had trouble with them. I spent the year doing the cryptics in The Age newspaper and by the end of it felt I certainly had a far better grasp of them. I ended up developing an app. However, I have decided that it might be easier and more interesting to use an iPhone 6...

The Surf Shack!: The Shed
http://buildingthesurfshack.blogspot.com/2010/06/shed.html
Tuesday, June 1, 2010. An interesting and sustainable aspect of our building project is that it was designed around a 6 X 6.5 metre shed, Michelle had purchased, that resided in the back yard of our architect's home in Albany where we also live. It was very similar to that pictured above but with a wooden frame, steel purlins and Woodland Grey Colorbond. It did not take long to get the shed down and we carefully marked each sheet, frame and purlin to ensure we could get it back together again. Roland mad...

The Surf Shack!: Michelle's purlins, roof and cladding
http://buildingthesurfshack.blogspot.com/2010/06/purlins-and-roof.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Michelle's purlins, roof and cladding. Michelle had been really fretting about her floor, as it had now been exposed to the elements for more than the recommended 3 months and was starting to show signs of deterioration, so we got stuck into her end as we had the steel 150 X 50 purlins already available to put straight up. We were now we were ready to replace the roofing sheets on to the now almost completely rebuilt shed. This made it a little difficult to get the zincalume sheeti...
