Window Instalation

Windows lots of windows 62 to install in one week thats about 12 per day for the full 5 days. There is not much you can say about installing windows.

You remove the old and in with the new and as this was retirement home, it had to be done as fast and with as little mess and hassle as possible for the residents.

How Long It Took

It takes on average to remove single window and replace around 40 minutes working with effective team of 3 people, that is if all the surrounding walls are in good condition. The key to replacing windows is be careful removing the old ones, if you do this the new window should slide in know problem.

If you rush taking the old window out, beware you will only cause more work for yourself in the long run, so the key to this is be careful and precise.

Finish Off With Trim & Sealing

After the window has been replaced you can add trim if needed to the interior of the frame and seal all the exterior to stop any drafts. Also if you are having windows installed make sure the fixing are correct for the type of frame and walls you are installing them.

Timber Decking

Decking & Garden Make Over

Now this garden and decking project, was one to remember when it comes to rainforest’s, needless to say there were several over grown bushes and trees blocking out the sun. When we arrived the thought was were to start..? and how to give the family their garden back?

We love a challenge and this was a really good one to get our teeth into.

How We Started

We started by clearing all the bushes from the area to make a little space for us to work, we did this with a small digger, which saves time and money in the long run. After this we cut back and downed a few of the large trees that blocked the light in garden.

Now time to get on with the fence, first we jet washed to get rid of green moss. Then we started to repair the sections that had rotted away. After we finished all repairs to the fence we then painted it all, so the fence now all looked the same.

After the fence was repaired we started on the decking, which was just an after thought from the customer, but looks great and gives more to the look of the garden. We also took this time to add nice slated area to side of the decking were a fire pit was to go.

We then concentrated on installing a soft play area at the rear of the garden for the Son to enjoy with his friends. The area for soft play was built with geo grid which stabilised the ground before the weed membrane was installed. After this 8 sacks of soft wood chipping’s, was poured over the weed control to give their Son’s area that play ground feel.

Next came quality real grass turf 120 square meters of it and this sets off the green in the garden. The last thing was a small stone path which would allow the family access from the decking to the rear of the garden without the need to step on the grass.

Project Goals

The goal of this project was easy and was to give the family their garden back, without the need to spend a fortune on doing so. I really hope they carry on the momentum and start planting and watch the garden grow over time into mature area to enjoy for years to come.

Bespoke Joinery

Bespoke Joinery

This hot tub is one of my favourite joinery builds from last year, the reason being it was fun and unique. I had never done one of these before so Allan who is a master joiner and excellent in every aspect of joinery led the way.

What was really enjoyable is that it was total free hand joinery with no plans to speak of, just the tools and the hot tub. The customer explained what they were looking for and that was it.

 How It Was Built

The materials we used for the framing was 2×2 framing and decking boards for the side’s and lid, also we used some dressed 4×2 for the lid holding frame. We started with taking measurements from the tub and got on with cutting the timber to frame the tub.

Once we had the frame built we cut the decking boards for the sides of the frame and designed the layout of the boards around the edging. As the hot tub was going to be removed from the wooden shell in the winter months, we created a removable side and in doing so found another really great use for the structure.

If the hot tub is removed the area space inside the frame can now be used as a bar area or barbecue food serving station. The hight was perfect for this type of use and why not get two benefits for the price of one, happy days.

How It Looks

The end result is very impressive for the actual cost involved in purchasing the hot tub and building the frame. It was finished with a couple of coats of clear coat wood preserver and rope handles so that the lidd can be removed easily by 2 people.

If you keep in mind that these hot tubs can be purchased second hand for half the price than when new it makes it even more attractive
