    Thumbs up

    Excellent job, Scott. Did you have any grief from the Council or is it a case of what they don't know won't hurt them? (Saw some highly emotive reports on so called "current affairs " shows about cubbys being the subject of bureaucratic heavy handedness recently.)
    Cheers,
    Graeme

    Well done Wongo.

    As they grow up they usually want a room separate from the house for those private friends, but the cubby is so big it will do the job.

    I love the way the cubby house grew and grew and grew. Its so big you could move into it now.

    Good job. Now for the plumbing, electrical, plasterboard, wood fixing, aircon, carpet and you'll have someone to sleep.

    BTW I thought you couldn't show your face..or is that just in a BFD T-shirt?

    Scott
    Your father in law is right about the brickwork. Love your honesty though, there's no way I'd own up to doing a job like that. But your woodwork (and that's the important part) is superb. I'll have to buy you a coffee (or do you drink beer now that you're a dodgy brickie? ) atSydney show on Sunday.
    I know Jasmine will love it even if father in law doesn't. When will Jet make a super tool for bricklaying.
    Cheers

    I forgot to mention that piers are probably the hardest thing to attempt when learning to lay bricks.

    Friend, if you are in Sydney we will always have a spare room for you and your family.

    Sadly you are heading to Queensland so good luck.

    Default Week 7

    I call the first picture “The Homer Simpsons corner”. The wall is completed with off-cuts of off-cuts. It saved me the trouble to buy another sheet of MDF.

    Well we finally got on to painting this week and the owner of the house made some solid contributions to the project.

    Not long to go now.

    Hi Scott

    She should spend many happy hours there with her friends. A beautiful cubby for a beautiful (and lucky) little girl! Well done!
