Pitfield makeover 3

Moving on from the gate repair next job is to clean up this side of the house that has beams between the house and the fence with shade mesh on top.

  

Remove all the rotten beams that sloped down from the fascia to the top of the fence along with the shade mesh and drill out the joist hangers that were pop riveted to the fascia.

Pitfield property makeover 1

Big project for the next few weeks to help the older daughter prepare her property for sale. We have a job list so loaded the car last night and hopefully thought of everything I might need.

Chooks - first introduction

Decided it's time to introduce Bella, Peaches & Honey to Misty & Speckles. 

Chook annex rebuild - Part 11 Final

Ridge capping to complete

Dropped into Bunnings on the way back from Waverley Gardens to buy some ridge capping for the annex. Need a 3 metre length but the only had 2.4’s so ended up buying 2 @ $34.43 each.

Chook annex rebuild – Part 10

Wire barrier skirt - Finishing

Weather didn't look to good this morning and surprised it cleared as well as it did so back out to finish stapling the wire skirt to the base timbers so we can screw on the plinth boards. The final bit for this phase of the job is to back-fill and level the soil - all of a sudden the site looks neat and tidy.

Finished along the back, Speckles and Misty are inspecting the job.

Chook annex - Part 9B

Finishing the gate

Gate accessories fitted and final strip of cage wire on the left stapled down.

I'm using 150mm fence palings as plinth boards around the base and when I paint those I'll also do the left jamb. Before I fit the boards I'll dig out around the base some more and bury all the left over wire as a fox barrier.
