Mr and Mrs Sheepers put themselves into debt for the rest of their lives.

[sheepers]

something i forgot to mention, while this is all going on we are living in the garage. i dont have any photos of that but its pretty cramped. i still needed to get a celica into the shed because its my daily and i need it. so i built a wall across at one celica depth in from the big door.

the space we're living in is about 5.5 x 6. in one corner is a  bathroom that is 2 x 2. so far its been fine. the rain on the roof has been so loud that we couldn't communicate verbally and it isn't winter yet so we'll see how that goes. 

all my crap, including lathe is in the celica end of the shed. ive built a bench which the nose of the celica fits under so i can still get it into the shed.

Rimu framing? (based on the age of the house) goes hard for what it is, but it makes a lot of ash.

[yetchh]

Please tell me your saving all that Rimu? Make dam fine bench tops..

 

RE the ffl, how far are you from water? In Chch, median high tide is 9.03 on the datum. Why? Fiik

 

 

 

[sheepers]

saving every piece or Rimu that isint full of holes.

there are some really nice pieces of timber and I'll use them for something. 

the tidal creek is about 300m away down the end of the road.  I dunno about floor levels and mininum heights, is never come up in discussions. as I say the only thing regarding floor heights that we have had to deal with had been to do with distance from the dirt to the underside if the floor .

[sheepers]

a mate came over and gave me a hand and we smashed it good.  there are no ceilings and all the roof that im going to remove has been removed.

only thing left is external walls which are wobbly as fuck.

Can you have a sweet outdoor fireplace on your neighbour's wall? That's lush.

[V8Pete]

Edit: Or is that your own wall?

[sheepers]

[yetchh]

Must be weird seeing your house like that?

Just goes to show the hysteria around Chch flood levels when it doesn't even come up in the consenting process.. that whole fucked up issue was what took so long with mine.. and they're still getting it wrong.

Nah I never got there. Saturday morning I felt utterly terrible and rolled out of bed about lunchtime with chores to do.
