Title: Worlds slowest reno
Post by: Kangaron on January 16, 2021, 10:39:02 AM
A Miners hut on our block which was a rental.
So far have kicked in the ceilings, stripped the house of all plaster, wiring and plumbing [which has been replaced]
Removed all floors, replaced the stumps, bearers, joists then a new yellow tongue floor.
Repaired all windows, made one into a bay window.
Now slowly replacing all weatherboards and front verandah.
This will ultimately be spare bedrooms, apart from the whisky room.
After we finish this have a 180m2 extension, currently with the architect.
I'll update this thread as we move along different stages.

The walls had several thicknesses of render, last reno done ? they battoned some walls and plasterboard, other walls plasterboard straight onto the render.They also installed a false ceiling at 2.4m, the original ceiling at 2.7m we kicked in and renewed.

Her indoors did the whole room.
She used a 4 inch bolster and a hammer, took her 6 weeks.
Then wire brush.
Then pressure washed, applied hydrocloric acid, pressure wasshed again - repeat 4 times.

The fretwork at the front of the original miners cottage will continue around the corner, but not at the back.
Veranda is 2.4m, coupled with double glazed windows, insulation,solar array and battery bank will say goodbye to bills.

thats awesome.
Reminds me of some of the houses back home where I grew up... Love those old styles when they are orientated correctly
