Thread: Building progress shots

Here's another one - there are 3 bedroom lofts (approx. 3m x 6m each) plus the mezzanine floor which will contain a built-in library, ironing centre, and maybe a fold-out set-up for the sewing machine and overlocker.

Bloody FANTASTIC stuff Jill!!!!!

As soon as you've finished just e-mail me, I've got few jobs I need doing at home here!

Superb Jill.

wow! looks great Jill! keep us updated!

That's fantastic, Jill. Not just the timberwork but the fact that you could get hubby to do the sanding! You seem to be ploughing through the work there, will be a great place when it's all finished.

You mean you sew & iron too? or is that for someone else in your family?

Wow Jill, thats got to be one of the best wood type house's I've ever seen great work!

Whats with this sewing and overlocker machine... when you can do stuff like that, ever thought of getting a job on a DIY show!(prob put them to shame...)

You're an inspiration Jill,not only to us blokes but also to all those of the fairer gender who want to aspire.

Cheers

Very nice, I like your work

Jill, fabulous work and I presume it's your design as well. Keep up the great work, it will be a joy to live in. Someones gotta say it Jill, is your husband jack of the sanding?
all the best, Fletty

G'day Jill,

I'm now having to search for my socks, as the woodwork you've been doing here completely blew them off

Superb work, and a wonderful looking house

Cheers!

I stand in awe of you and your work here, Jill. Absolutely fantastic. The look of the place, the combination of timbers and colours, the practicality of the designs, and the appealing execution are a wonder to behold.

The fact that you're getting the whole family to help too, means this house will be an expression of your family's life. Beautiful.

Thanks very much, everyone, for the kind compliments!! It's a great feeling to have got to this stage, and crossed off about half of the list towards completion! I love the work, though.

Sorry, Major - I'm sure my work wouldn't be up to your standard!!! Not that I don't have LOADS of spare time...!!

How's your home coming along, Ryan? I can't wait to see progress shots!

Lol, Alex and Harry! I DO use the sewing machine and overlocker, but not at the moment!! Getting the house done is the priority, THEN the girls and I will do the curtains, quilts, etc. Got to balance those hormones!

It is my design, Fletty - and then my husband did the working drawings up, getting them checked by an Eng. before submission to council.

Thanks, Zenwood - I'll be able to post some work done by our 13 y.o. daughter in the next few weeks. She is building (with a little help from me) the furniture for her bedroom.

Thanks, all of you, for the encouragement!

Cheers,

Jill (and Jack, aka Steve!!!)

Here is another pic of the mezzanine floor - the library will be built along this wall.

Cheers,

Jill

Hi Jill

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your wood work and your home and family are all amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the progress shots. It's so amazing to see what you have built together. Is that by any chance Jarrah around the door frames? The contrast between the architraving and pine walls is amazing.

I'm not surprised to hear that your daughter is building her own furniture or that they will be helping sew the soft furnishings either. Like Mother, like Daughter

Cheers
Wendy
