Extension Subfloor and Under-deck Tanks

The Melro Under-deck Tanks are placed after stump holes dug but before stumps put in.
I decided against bladder tanks due to small risk of punctures/faults and reports that rodents will eat through for water during drought conditions.

Demolition

We signed up for a renovation and seem to be getting a re-build!

Window Removal and Timber Salvage


Removed and sold Windows on Gumtree. 
Met my first online scammer in the process, Gumtree is full of them, seller and buyer beware!










 
Unfortunately all our Baltic Pine was rendered unusable during demolition - very disappointing.

To balance this out a little, we uncovered a beautiful piece of Oregon in the roof.
Despite failing woodwork (!) , I am enthusiastic about converting the now dressed Oregon beam into a much bigger version of the nice Oregon bench shown. Stay tuned...
