Yetchh's Redzone Relocation..

OK, so now it really is 100% done, but. 

 

Rosie pointed out to me that I'd forgotten a bit of cladding, so I filled it with a fillet. This is the only example of why I went with the bigger corners. The reason I haven't done this one is I ran out of mac, well I thought I ordered 5.4 lengths of  150x40 but when I came to do them I realised they'd sent me 4.8s. Was a bit pissed. Have about  7 offcuts of 2.2m 150x40.

Anyway,

Yesterday I made the gas bottle gate, spent to long extending the back door threshold and making a surround for the gas califont.. 

Gate, just sitting there as in my Haste last Tues I forgot to get hinges.

Offending threshold, discovered it was actually rimu and not cedar which makes it easier.

Rummaged around in my wood stock and found this mystery block from a ship in the early 1800s (came from an 1830s cottage in lyttelton we restored a few years back. Bloke who built it made all the windows and framing from timber he ganked from the ship repair Dock.

Cleaned it up, pretty sure its rimu.

Make it work,

Epoxy the bitch in. Still gotta sand it as I forgot today.

Made the surround for the califont yesterday and finished it today, has a 25mm gap all the way around so hopefully it's ok. Doesn't seem to get particularly hot anyway, even when it's been cranking for 10mins. 

Dowelled and lightly glued the sides on, 

IMG_20210822_163103_copy_1368x1824.thumb.jpg.9ae50a3c461388a963f7d433a9719f78.jpg

 

Just 11fc'd the top on, also routed some slots on with side for the bottom cover. Then discovered I couldn't slide it in because the cap below was in the way..... Sanded some off so it just slides in. 

IMG_20210823_122624_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.2710c009d344399509d178e80bb08254.jpg

 

Oiled.

Finally did the taps as well, wanted a brass plate against the timber but couldn't find one so used a brass nut instead.

100%? Yeah almost.. Just got to finish the threshold.. and... Put two bits of timber over the joins in the soffit above the front door (something else I forgot) pretty simple.

Finished up the threshold, can see the addition but you always would.. Might stain the whole lot a bit darker.. 

Also put the trims up to hide the soffit joins.. 

 

IMG_20210824_173402_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.213672f3809c7b34ff47fe7397fafbb2.jpg

 

Soffit before, they don't lol bad in the photo but there's some height differences and gap variation.. 

IMG_20210824_102248_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.5f5d00268d9568b54656d8c0437a759a.jpg

The photo has a wack bracing setup cos I didn't want to waste any timber on it.. Typical idiot I was getting a wedge out of a bucket by the front door and totally smacked my head on the cross bar knocking the entire lot down on my head.. Knob.. Luckily the trim stayed up glued by the 11fc, my initial thought was I had and I was spewing as once 11fc goes everywhere its a cunt to get off.. Makes exceptionally good glue tho.

Tomorrow I'm gonna take all the spare timber down to store at my old lady's place, then make a start on the back deck..

So... Spent a good 4 days redoing the back deck. I guess it's because I always like to fuck things up for my future self.. 

This was another of my just throw it up and not really think about what I was doing jobs.. 

Old setup, 

IMG_20210825_124853_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.15674de987ed2ade386c85622d4f3dcd.jpg

 

Easy part was stripping it, took all of 30min.

IMG_20210825_155438_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.3a9cac6e8a1a963c73c96dc973f3f055.jpg

 

So as to make the underside dry and useable I decided to put some plastic with fall into a gutter between the house and deck, 

IMG_20210825_160830_copy_1368x1824.thumb.jpg.a331ea45921e7d4fa56bc451e9c185e7.jpg

 

This is the last of the capping that goes under the deck, just extended it with treated ply which I then oiled. 

IMG_20210825_160925_copy_2816x2112.thumb.jpg.4e6dafb1cd1a111f4b43f0a697750685.jpg

 

Gutter should pop out here,  can see the ply which I also put fall on away from the corner. 

IMG_20210825_161003_copy_1368x1824.thumb.jpg.803e32d7fab58b76215b5ac84da82dde.jpg

 

 

Main reason for this is its where we put our bikes. My seat sits where this junction is and my cracked seat gets wet which then wets my ass. 

Decided I should prob add these bits in here..

Oiled and in, 

IMG_20210825_163610_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.74a7c8034e55b18b7b7fa9893910e3df.jpg

 

Then I put some heavy polythene I had left over from the foundations all those years ago one the frame falling into where the gutter will be, also the some nailing on for decking around the outside. 

IMG_20210826_112724_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.5222d12ada5956767823b9839c94ad87.jpg

 

Cut some drainage pipe in half for the gutter.

Can see the the capping and ply falling into the "gutter ". 

IMG_20210829_124751_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.915e371eb3cc25aa0a5e26b8e6bec772.jpg

 

Outlet, hopefully it works.

With that finished I got onto the balustrade and finished decking. Decided that I should make an effort to copy what I did at the front door. 

This pile, 

IMG_20210828_121930_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.4f683df1bfcaf4e84a598e74631e66a3.jpg

 

Recut, 

IMG_20210828_121801_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.ffae4cde657b42b2f72ee34097f21eef.jpg

 

Trimmed somewhat.. 

IMG_20210828_121919_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.5a25d677203186f90d1323c024554415.jpg

 

Turned into this. Had some rough sawn 100x50 which I used for the handrail which, surprisingly after a sand with 40 grit comes up nicer than the planner gauge 90x45. Feels softer on the hand and also had less splintery bits. At this point I also ran out of copper nails (sigh*) so had to order some through miter10 delivery which was 3 to 5 days... 

IMG_20210828_121938_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.a45eae5ee6b7c70af4e465b13bcdad4b.jpg

 

Def looks better anyway.

Shit to a blanket.. 

Shit to a blanket is understating how well 11fc holds. Quite some years ago we used some to glue some steel plated to 80mpa precast concrete panels. 

They had to be removed due to a fuck up. (Monster sharn that story, that could have ended VERY badly/front page bad news) 

I ripped the plates off the panel with a cold chisel, and a club hammer. 

When I finally got it off, there were bits of concrete stuck to the 11FC, that had been ripped out of the panel. Its fucking amazing shit.

Then it rained.. So I spent some time inside cutting things off the list.. 

 

Finally did the panels above and below the oven

IMG_20210829_174907_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.bfce2dacc619c15259acdb93d447374d.jpg

 

Also the finger handle on the door just to the right of the oven. As I mounted all the handles horizontal this would have looked wack with one handle vertical. Took me 4 years to put one on. 

Routed a slot, 

IMG_20210829_152659_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.878b71f23bba2cb755ead2c061ccf220.jpg

 

Finger pull.. 

IMG_20210831_202912_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.d43c0be49b57ed7adecaab5474b18e63.jpg

 

Moved a light that has irked me the entire time we've been here. For some reason originally we weren't gonna put in a kitchen extractor so set the lights out for that, but to get code we had to have one which made one light redundant.. 

Extended the led cable as its low voltage. 

IMG_20210830_133357_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.afa5ca86fed486ce91aa6024a8cd438b.jpg

 

Then spent a good part of an hour trying to get a piece of wire from one hole to the next, had about 4 photos I could look at to see what was in the way.. Still couldn't get one across. In the end I could just get my arm in the hole to feel where the wire was going and then from the other side with a bread knife and my arm in the other hole I could touch the wire. So made a hook, feed that through then a hook with another bit of wire and somehow managed contact... It was a total cunt, at one point had me wondering why I fucken started.. 

IMG_20210830_150444_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.4a78c38f34b176988cf518a521b8ee25.jpg

 

Lights better anyway and my ocd is satisfied.

Also filled a gap at the edge of the bench that I fucked up when I installed it.. 

IMG_20210830_132153_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.771265cf46a570d1884c51938a5be708.jpg

 

Cut a fillet, 

IMG_20210830_132203_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.1a50736127a5c3e8c44a60d3f1a2133a.jpg

 

Epoxied it in. Can still see it but hopefully once I silicone around there it won't be so noticeable.

Got some things on the last day of lockdown.. 

IMG_20210831_122139_copy_1368x1824.thumb.jpg.934bdc31ca6805256487d09e593dda3d.jpg

 

So got onto nailing. Had to do the gaps at 4mm which was double what I would normally do but that fit all the boards without me having to rip one down.. 

IMG_20210831_114354_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.ba2b8ab4ff87e5dc25e0c7bbeedb99d6.jpg

 

Missus started oiling 

IMG_20210831_114400_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.52dda850dc352eafbbd021efec77b4b6.jpg

 

Finished it this arvo.. Fuck it was cold, my last favourite kind of weather. 

IMG_20210831_164720_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.4902444d0d700f20ee5275d0008cad4b.jpg

  • 4 months later...

The end is in sight!!

But for now I'll carry on what I left off. The last 3 months of last year disappeared pretty quick but three weekends of that were spent moving shit across country which counts for most of a month I guess. 

Anyway, after lockdown 2.0 we did a trip to Musgrove's here in chch to see what they had in the way of hardwood posts for the front gate, ended up coming away with a 200x300x5400 rimu post which I cut in half there with the trusty xl12 and threw them in the back of the hire van. 

IMG_20210904_155421_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.87800ff74b558f180aa45fc3ca5cd7bd.jpg

 

Rimu is known for being pretty shit in the ground untreated. The hardwood posts of a similar size were in the thousands and this was only $350. So I set about giving it the best chance of survival by liberally soaking it in castrol 15w40 for a week reapplying it every day. 

IMG_20210905_153011_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.9509605568ff047c2da3fb8c6528383d.jpg

Then I gave the buried parts a few coats of black seal, 

IMG_20210925_100535_copy_1824x1368.thumb.jpg.011b44f77eac06a66a06cf7bf12316a2.jpg

 

And then after marking it all out stated digging holes, as per usual I struck concrete on the second chop.. The gift that keeps on giving.
