Some asked to see pictures of the oven fired up here they are. The first loaf of bread being made. I also did a standing prime rib. Along with the rib baked potatoes and corn on the cob at the same time. What a different taste and a whole lot of fun. Enjoy
Monday: Basically I took the day off, trying to recover a little after the really heavy weekends work. I have arranged for the concrete to be delivered on Thursday morning for the utility room floor. Unfortunately because of the state of the entrance (due to the new pipes being fitted, the concrete truck cannot get get to within 5m (15’) of the house, and the thought of wheel barrowing 4 cubic m (140 cubic ft) did not appeal to me for some reason! So I had to hire a concrete pump, whi...
We put 4 coats of WaterLox Tung Oil on them and they turned out great….well at least we think so…my wife says she feels like she is in an antique store the way our floors look…... The pictures don’t do the floor justice…it feels so warm with the tung oil on them. oh well…..on to the next project. (sorry for all the pictures we just think they do a better job telling the story)
Warning: LOTS OF PICTURES Ok….here we go weeeeeeeeeeee….So I get a call from my wife ”you better come up here and look at these floors” I nicely told her just to get them clean enough for us to start sanding. She repeated ”get up here we have a problem” As you can see from the picture we had a problem. As she started to clean the floors she noticed that most of the flooring was separated, and not just a little bit :-( The house originally did not have ...
Well another week has been and gone, I do not know where the time goes, but I guess I must be pretty busy as I am full of aches and pains from the neck down. So here is a summary of what I have been doing this week. Sorry (especially to my wife) for not posting a daily blog, but I just have not had the energy at the end of the day. UTILTY ROOM. The first part of the week was installing the “First Fit” of the waste water pipes in the utility room – I also managed to fill the bi...
Have you noticed how the selection of desks in the big chain furniture has become less inspiring as the years go by? Desks are an important component of any room. It is where we study, read, use the computer and so on. That’s why it’s so important to choose a desk that fits your lifestyle. The best way to do this is to build a desk yourself. This is really a lot easier than you think. The most important step you’ll need to take is picking out which desk is right for you. I h...
22-08-2010 I got another early start on Saturday morning, today was the day for laying pipes for Sewerage, rain water and gas - It started quite well, it was a little cooler than the previous day, which I was thankful for – we we quite happily making nice deep trenches The old sewer line exposed. The first trench completed. The sewer line is laid. This prompted a stop for lunch, and refueling of the digger – an hour later we were back at it – th...
I got an early start on Saturday morning, I had a new “Big-Boy’s-Toy” to play with :) If you look to the left against the wall, you can see the mark left by the height of the soil about 300 mm (1’) above the damp course ( a big problem with damp) This shows the extend of the area cleared on Saturday, about 75 M2 (810 ft 2) and about 25 m3 (880 ft 3) – a long and rewarding day – with really good dry weather
It has been a long and hectic weekend – hence the reason for not posting over the last couple of days. Finding rubble for the hole, it is not as easy as its sounds – if I had only started at the other end of the utility room, I would have had plenty. Hind sight is a wonderful thing! Removed 1 ½ cubic meters of brick from halfway down the garden, to nearer the house – I also needed to move them to get access to the caravan. Waited for the delivery of the back-hoe, i...
