Turkey's Nest Rainforest Accommodation, Mt Glorious: July 2015
http://turkeysnestmtglorious.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
July 12, 2015. Updating White Gum Cottage - part 1. It's now ten years since we opened Turkey's Nest at Mount Glorious (we had a small B&B in Brisbane before that). When we bought the property the original cottage, White Gum - an old forestry workers' cottage moved from Beerburrum - was a little 'rough around the edges'. The best view was from the laundry, the kitchen faced a blank wall, and the bedroom had no view! We renovated it in 2003, moving rooms and adding a new bathroom and kitchen. Bamboo is a ...

I did not expect for time to fly by so quickly! I clearly haven't posted anything in a while but that thing called life has taken the front seat for the last few months and I'm in fifth gear. So much as happened. To start with I've been contracted full time with a company doing Graphic Design (Yay! In at Newcastle. So it's back to full time hours with early mornings wake ups. Working full time again has its ups and its downs. Full time pay (yay! No daily walks with the dogs (boo). A SMILE IN THE MIND.

Turkey's Nest Rainforest Accommodation, Mt Glorious: Pressed metal ceilings
http://turkeysnestmtglorious.blogspot.com/2014/03/pressed-metal-ceilings.html
March 30, 2014. Our first project for the year has been installing pressed metal ceilings in three rooms of the house. We sourced the pressed metal panels from Heritage Ceilings. Who have a tremendous range of traditional as well as more modern styles. Installation started with the downstairs 'powder room' as it was the simplest - all one style of panel with no border. The final room was the yet-to-be-completed Macadamia Suite, the B&B suite at the end of the house. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Turkey's Nest Rainforest Accommodation, Mt Glorious: January 2015
http://turkeysnestmtglorious.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
January 23, 2015. I'm a great believer in all washing being hung on the line, and I rarely use a dryer. But we get a fair amount of wet weather on the mountain, and endless days of rain and high humidity are not conducive to drying multiple loads of sheets and towels. Rack in raised position. The rack is made from 25.4mm square section aluminium channeling with click-together corners, all from Bunnings. Pulleys run across to rope down one wall. Rack lowered for loading. Rope rings and wall cleats. Posted...

Turkey's Nest Rainforest Accommodation, Mt Glorious: Vegetable garden
http://turkeysnestmtglorious.blogspot.com/2014/02/vegetable-garden.html
February 22, 2014. It's been a long time between posts, but the second half of last year was spent almost exclusively on establishing the veggie garden. We built long narrow beds from corrugated iron (recycled, of course! Because of the slope they are shallower on one side than the other, but still deep enough for anything we're likely to grow. Behind the veggies are three bays for making compost. Further down the hill are two cut-down water tanks, which hold bananas and pumpkins. Strawberries, c...It's ...

Turkey's Nest Rainforest Accommodation, Mt Glorious: April 2013
http://turkeysnestmtglorious.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
April 18, 2013. Recycled kitchen - continued. In January we completed the first stage. Of the kitchen cupboards, using recycled hoop pine. The part I was most looking forward to was the island bench, which Russell has just completed. How I prefer hand made items to overpriced commercial products (yes, I know, the economy would not survive if everyone was like me! And how we enjoy recycling materials. Well this is the ultimate recycling project! Posted by Turkey's Nest Rainforest Cottages. We live amongst...

LET'S GET HANDS ON - DIY DOGS TOYS. So in my last post I introduced you to Astro. Our 2 adorable puppies that are practically our fur babies. Astro is 18 months and Chaz is 10 months. And like all babies (and puppies) they go through the teething stage and find anything and everything to sink their teeth into. Fortunately Astro didn't do to much chewing, but Chaz on the other hand is at it all the time. We've been through countless amounts of cheap soft toys for him (he loves to pull out the stuffing).
