Reposting this one from 3 years ago - still one of my favourite jobs. Restoring the front of this home so it can last many more years

Decking board and framing replacement. These home owners contacted me as they had, had their deck repaired a couple of years ago but the joists were rotting. I removed the existing boards and found that H2 timber had been used for the framing. H2 timber should not be used for external uses! All framing was removed, H3 timber was installed and merbau decking installed. Please always check qualifications of people doing work on your home, it’ll save you a lot of money in the end.

Handrail rebuild completed. The old one was many years old, falling apart and under height for current building standards. All of it was removed and replaced to meet current building standards. Much safer now

Hoping you all had a great long weekend. This year I decided it can’t all be work and no play. So I decided to do a solo camp trip. It was bloody awesome! Out in nature and enjoying the peace and quiet. First time quad bike riding, so much fun!

From a rotted unsafe and unusable deck to this stunning 130mm spotted gum deck! I used Cutek CD50 with goldtone tint for UV protection which just made the colours in the spotted gum pop!!

A little front fence replacement. The existing brick wall was falling over causing damage to the veranda roof and neighbouring fence. The bricks were removed and new fence built to match the existing pattern
