Mrs Fixit

It must be spring time, back to the outdoor jobs after a few months of taking care of indoor work. This house has ply panels which have seen some serious weather but a coat of dark oil stain will help them back to looking good again in no time.

The view from todays office

Giving this pool house a much needed face lift this week, repairing rotten timber and updating the paint. It's amazing what a new colour can do!

Today's supervisor slacking off.

Tidying up after the plumbers have been tracking down a leak. Fixing the holes, then plaster and paint leaves the hallway wall back to its previous best.

Just about done on this master suite bedroom, only some nice new window latches to fit and the curtain rail to reinstall. It's been a long road this one, but it has turned out very well.

This master bedroom is coming on in leaps and bounds. The gib has been finished and taped, the cove has been installed and the trims (architraves, skirtings and such) are in progress; the room is really starting to take shape but still a long way to go.

Amazing what a difference just a coat of primer makes!

Week 2 of the master bedroom transformation.
Gib stripped, new insulation installed and on to re-gibbing the room, except for the tongue and groove feature wall.
T&G also used to line the small hallway that comes into this space from the main house.

This is our starting point to build this room into a master bedroom that the homeowner will love. We will be stripping the whole room right back, installing new insulation and taking out the French doors. Then comes the fun part with new gib, new trims and a subtle paint scheme.

Check in each week to see the progress on this complete renovation.
