Pitfield makeover 7b

Next job on the list after demolishing the spa pergola is to hide the spa equipment itself to make it more presentable for sale.




Had some thoughts about using fence lattice but we need to do better than that. Just trying to keep the costs down, what else do we have on hand?

One thing I noticed previously and nearly forgot about is that the spa air switch needs attention.



The nipples have broken off with the ends still in the plastic tubes.

We also have some K9 helpers on the job site.

Pitfield makeover 6

In between the bigger jobs I’m also taking care of the - smaller jobs. When cleaning up the side of the house I noticed that the garage side door does not close and lock properly. That’s the door behind today’s painting team.

Moving on we need to remove the spa pergola as part of the clean-up.

Cutting the beams with a power saw – straight forward.

Pitfield makeover 4

After cleaning up the side of the house we now move around to the back to continue the ‘demolition’ work.

   

Picking up from the clean-up along the side and turning the corner we need to remove that illegal timber gate that somehow became part of the spa fencing.

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.

Another new toy for kitties.
