I say that when its done, not fill it up quickly with any big cheap items / crappy cheap masks. Take your time and fill it with only the stuff you really want in it. Try your hand at making the trim or a shield with a rotatory tool which there are good examples all throughout TC. Good Luck [ Edited by: teaKEY 2008-05-19 16:29 ] |

What happened to the tree that is prominent in the first picture and looks like a stalk of aspergas in the rest?! Seriously, looking good on the new base - it's going to be joy having that plumbing in there. What did you do with the other bar? |

Thats a hell of a start. Are you doing a lot of the work yourself? Is that radiant heat piping in the slab? |

Wow, going luxo with the radiant floor and full utilities. I don't know what the rest of your house is like but I bet you won't be spending much time there! |

The old bar had perty much had it & got chucked out with the rest . I built it will old 2x6, plywood broken tile and found some bamboo at a local spot that has asian pots and fountains. Yeah I layed down some pex tubing for radiant heating, I'm from oz and even though the winter in nor cal is not the worst in the US, I have had enough of cold weather here! so I reckon I will bring summer indoors. . I'm trying to make something that has an A frame in the middle and will have a flat roof on either side of the A frame . I got a lotta work to do here but it will be worth it. PS not sure which tree your talking about ? [ Edited by: bLOCKhEAD 2008-05-22 21:58 ] [ Edited by: bLOCKhEAD 2008-05-22 22:05 ] |

I think they're refering to the banana palm which, if they're from a colder climate, they might not know they do their thing (making bananas) and then die. It also looks like you removed a lot of the landscaping around it. Have you thought about a googie roof like this? :wink: |

Mate, another Aussie on here :D and a Westy to boot! I'm from Penrith myself, and work in Campbelltown :D Ive previously looked into ending Bundy stateside but US laws dont allow it. Pity, I reckon I could start an export business based on Bundy, Milo, and Tim Tams. Sweet looking bar too, looking forward to watching the progress. :D |

Room for a crayfish on that barby..? I figured Id better pull up a deckchair to help balance the scales a bit, or else my mate will never hear the end of the sheep-shearing (sharing) jokes.. :wink: Glad we dont have to discuss Aussie-rules - never got my head around that one.. footy on a round pitch? How do they know which way to run?? Great start on your longhouse bLOCKhEAD - Is that orange cable under your pad underfloor heating or just to help mesh the concrete together? If its the former, we must be looking at a world first..! :o :lol: |

Those were great links blockHEAD. When I was in Australia 2 years ago, I had to stuff my suitcase full of TimTams to bring back to my friends in the states. I was their hero (until they polished them all off)....LOL. I could shoot myself though as I never ate any meat pies while I was there (Melbourne). :( |

Wut iz this-Aussie central!?!? Back on topic, that looks like a great start. We're hoping to do something in our back yard here in Vegas, too. I recommend a peaked or angled roof. As for how to do the inside-get some inspiration from Forbidden Island in Alameda. :) |

Uh, I don't understand a thing you guys said for the last 10 or 12 posts. Timtam? Toohey? Bundy? Footy? Wth?? :D Anyway, your long house looks like it will be really awesome! Good luck on it. Where did the light post go? It looked like it had a lot of character. I would have found a way to incorporate it into the finished lanscaping somehow. |
