  • Owner Builder Diary – Year 3, September 22

    September 22, 2001

    Came to site to get quote on fence between neighbour on southside and my place. They feel they want a little privacy. I’ll put up a lattice fence.

    Timber flooring arrived and daughter and friend stacked it up on the deck. Quite a strenuous job because it is quite heavy. But it’s quite beautiful too. It’s come originally from Dubbo wool barn. Had a call from AGL contractor about gas installation..couldn’t do it up the side, but would up the drive do. I [...]

    Went to pay fellow for timber molding. Carpenter had to leave a little early so didn’t see him but handed over the stainless steel hinges – about 75 of them…three hinges per door. Have had a little trouble getting the stainless steel screws. There’s a place in Artarmon called Coventry Fasteners that I believe have [...]

    Carpenter started with the fitout for all the cupboards and doors. Gyprocking almost finished. It is a very good job. Called me because the flooring timber had arrived. It wasn’t supposed to be delivered until NEXT Monday, so I called them and asked them to take it back. This might seem a little extreme but [...]

All the doors/skirtings/architraves arrived from Millars Timbers plus the timber for the cupboard fitout. Received drawing from Harvey Norman kitchens. I have to sign off on it. There [...]

    Noticed that a small section of bunkroom wall hadn’t been insulated – called the insulation guy who fortunately happened to be up at the mountains and will come later today.

    Gyprocking supposed to start today… but now moved to start tomorrow but all the gyprock has been delivered. They wanted to take a railing off the balcony to hoist it up to the deck…but fortunately Mick, the carpenter, said no.

    Met at block to do a clean up. It’s a bit overwhelming – lots of sawdust and mess. And still some boards to paint. Fortunately a couple of members of the family came up to see the house and stayed to help. Finished painting all the boards and helped with the clean up. Looks great [...]

    Metro bathrooms came to do the waterproofing in the bathrooms. They use a welded PVC, supposedly a very new product. Cladding pretty much finished except for a little bit outside the downstairs bunkroom where we are waiting for more corner moulding. Ordered bin for Saturday.

    The insulation people were a little late which suited us because the fellows were still doing the cladding on the very high loft wall. Very glad that has now finished and not much more to do and much easier access.
