I completed the fitting out of the van with comfortable bed, 32″ LED TV (so I didn’t miss a moment of Bathurst Practice, Qualifying and Race), full work computer and monitor (so I could do any emergency work at pretty much anty time), 38L Engel fridge, twin burner gas cooktop and cupboard/pantry. 120w solar panels […]
Just to let anyone reading know that pretty much everything was done quite a while back, but I haven’t got around to posting finished pics of each of the projects. I will endeavour to post them one day. The current project is a renovation of a different type… a van. I have fitted Solar panels […]
So now my renovating and building time is interupted frequently by Cooper. Cute as, Cooper is currently going to puppy school and we are hoping that she will become a well behaved, toilet trained, bundle of joy. She’s almost there, has the bundle of joy nailed, still working on the rest! Cooper vs the broom, […]
Before I can secure the last few deck boards, I need to build/finish the garden wall. I used Hebel blocks, which are aerated concrete. Easy to handle, can cut them with a hand saw, and join them with liquid nails. I worked out roughly where the garden was going before laying the joists, but its […]

It was completed just in time for summer, so I wont know how effective it is for the winter months until […]

This is probably one of the easiest home DIY jobs you can get. Shower head leaking at one of the joints in the head or piping from the wall. A brand new shower head is $15ish from Stratco. I was in there today, but that will be another story. Btw, I think the same shower […]
Lots of little chips, some minor cracking and a couple of dodgy previously “repaired” plaster dings to repair first, using both render/cement filler and plaster filler depending on the cracks, but then it was into the painting. I repainted the feature wall in master bedroom to the Drifting Drab, and have started repainting all of […]
