fuck my shoulders are fucked, this timber is over 70 years old and its as hard as a fucking rock.

whats left to do in the kitchen? well, the rest of the Rimu on the 8 folding doors obviously. the stainless steel bench tops need to be made and in order for that to happen i need to draw whats needed. stainless splash back above the sink needs making as well. some kick boards still need doing and a little bit of timber in the corner of the cupboards.

oh, and i need to sand and oil the island top properly.

probably other tings.

Yep, that old rimu will be as hard as a whore's heart. I've re-used demolition rimu before. Ended up drilling most of the nail holes cos if it was even possible to bang the nails in without them bending the wood would split to buggery.

Like that dark green shelf. Looks good beside the timberwork.

I'm liking this bit in particular, the grains/colouring have lined up nicely. Worked with a real os chippie for a while, used to lay real t&g native floors the old way. He taught me that you would pick the best boards for the middle of the hallway and living rooms and use the lesser quality ones to the outside. Kinda like you have done here. Very Nice!

Wow  !

 

You have dedication. To a good job.

You don' want to move to Christchurch and be a sparky do you ? I could do with someone with an eye for detail and commiment to a top job.

Please get your sparky to change that speaker point on the black wall to a black plate. My ocd is twitching just thinking about it. 

The Danish oil you are using, could I use it on a marine ply Ute deck ?  It looks amazing on your rimu. 

Top job man your wife must be very appreciative.  Wink, wink.
