yetchh Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Ok.. so it seems now pb is working I'll have to go back and edit that other post, but for now... Spent the last few days putting up the soffits, did them out of grooved bandsawn shadowclad so as to match the final cladding.. And a bit of under floor insulation, Cleans it up a bit under there, also bought and installed a fuck off 200x200 Mac post... just to prop up that huge ridge beam and really heavy decromastic tiles.. Chippie came over to check my work and reckoned a couple of nail plates would be good to hold it, I went for bolts.. So far so good, will finish the porch soffits tomorrow and start some other shit.. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.e.d. Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I really like that shadowclad soffit lining idea. I was looking at T&G for the soffit on my new place but thats a good alternative. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yeah, there a bit of a trick to it but it goes up easy, just gotta make sure your facias are straight.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Got a bit done in the last couple of days, chopped the over hanging secondary bearers back to the line of the ecoply ready for the cavity battens, had a guy come over to look at where the gas califont was going and bam ended up running all the gas lines ready to plumb up the heater and burner.. legend, thanks Luke.. didn't expect it so quick Got some holes filled in the floor The repair boards generally sit about 2-3mm higher than the rest but I'm sanding the whole floor anyway.. Nice to look under the house and see a bunch of plumbing and shit, spent so long with nothing there.. brings a tear to me eye.. It's also been completely insulated under there thanks to my mum and F-inlaw Here's my electrical plan.. Spent the afternoon finishing off the last of the wiring, just the califont to send power to and run the controller cable and then, bar the front door, I think I'm ready for a preline inspection Wire shotz Got a bit hard to pull wires through at the end.. Everyone loves wire shotz.. Plumber and drain layers come back Saturday to finish the storm water and sewer, then that's also ready to inspect.. good times.. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 A little more progress, Pulled up the shit bits of the bathroom floor and started filling the hole, cunts had cut holes everywhere.. Had to go buy another front door as the one we got for 15 bucks wasn't gonna cut it, got a cedar for from the pumphouse for 120, needs a little repair work around the bottom outside corners and it's obviously from a wonky house as there was a 10mm wedge filllet on the top and the same amount taken off the bottom, anyone know where I can get bits of red cedar? Anyway, sanded oiled and hung it.. Not sure if it's gonna match macrocarpa.. we'll see I guess. Also applied for some council inspections, subfloor, sub drainage, drainage and preline.. digits crossed.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Drainage was finished on Sat, forgot to mention that.. power went up the pole today, 180A 3ph.. should be good Another couple of weeks before they come out and inspect/test/ connect it all, but nearly there. Shit shot of meter box with fuses ready for a meter. Inspections booked for Wednesday, for some reason there was a section 37 on my place which means construction stops including inspections, then for some reason it had lapsed.. something to do with resource consent.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Might start my own excavation business.. Had to move a bit of dirt to fill in the trenches round the back, ended up being the quickest way to do it.. Put the first of the battens on this arvo, Not sure if you can see it but goddamn this house is wobbly.. Gonna be a bit of packing and shaving going on. In other news, failed my preline last week.. needed a ps4 for the beam in the lounge which is fair enough, but he didn't seem to understand the bracing elements, on the plan it clearly states that the existing gib is to remain and if removed to be replaced with 13mm braceline and nailed in accordance with gs1/n requirements, the bracing plan just shows which walls of relined, need to comply. He didn't get that, said I needed to talk with someone more senior. Had my subfloor inspection confused with a firewall inspection and then didn't do the subfloor even after I corrected him. Passed the sewer tho.. hopefully power goes in on the 13th.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yetchh Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Bam.. Now I just need a power point.. Got 95% of the battens finished on the weekend, had a bit of a fuckaround Sunday tho with my head not working and making a couple of mistakes, easily rectified but just time consuming. Also started nogging/packing out for the bottom batten and closer, for anyone wanting to do a 45mm structural cavity I used Herman Pacific V5 cavity battens and redway 45mm PC cavity closers. HP specified 12g stainless screws which turns out not many stock, the only ones blacks had were 100mm.. won't be coming off in a hurry, but they also snap if you give them to much guts with the driver. Shot of the cavity closer on.. Another 42m to go.. also need to level the section a bit more, there's a bloke on the corner two houses down that has a couple of old tractors he burns around the streets on (and in the Santa parade) he leveled another neighbours section so I might hit him up and see if he wants to do mine.. need to plant grass, the dust/and blowing around the place is killing me.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yetchh Posted March 5, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2017 Finally finished the cavity, got the last of the closer on yesterday and had a flashing made up to go under the existing slider. Also got a power point now so I don't have to scrounge of my extremely accommodating neighbour. Talked to my engineer about why I failed my preline inspection, emailed him my bracing plan and he came back saying that with the external walls I've braced plus the addition of my structural cavity, 12mm ply and the number of walls on the inside that are in good condition, makes the internal bracing plan almost obsolete. Gary also knows the boss of the inspections department well so is going to have a word with him. So all going to plan, by the end of the month she should be clad and plastered which means I can paint, sand the floor and do the deck.. These are the flashings I had made up, the tuck up inside the bottom of the slider and drop/extend out to where the cladding starts, had to extend the original reveal down to close the cavity, hopefully the inspectors happy with it.. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yetchh Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Haha, cheers bro.. It was good I got the same inspector, he already knew what the deal was. I was dreading getting some old council Barry that knew everything.. Feels good tho.. means a fair bit of progress should ensue in the next few weeks.

yetchh Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Got some gib this morning, thought I might get a bit on.. the ceiling had other ideas. Spent the whole day and most of the evening trying to straighten it, fuck me it's bad. Had to do a fair few cut and wedge to get the bows out, and a shit ton of planning. Some of it was about 20mm out over 2m.. kinda got there in the end, got sick of looking up and planning.. luckily it's only a 2.4 stud so I could do it without a ladder This was one of the worst areas, should have taken a before shot.. First sheet on about 7pm .. bro in law was like 'get a lifter, resisted for a bit before I caved.. fuck they make it easy. Finished about 930.. would have been faster, but the ceiling says no.. Now this really is a milestone, first time since about June '11.. bit of a christening.. Hopefully by this time tomorrow we'll have all the gib up.. then onto the cladding, super fun times.. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats dude That is so immature. I saw that name, and instantly thought the same more or less. Good shit. Bit of wall lining and it will start to resemble a house quick snap! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
