Tuesday, 10 February 2009. 19 - The Plumbing. A Few Words on the Waste Treatment System. The septics with the drain from the house feeding into them.

The posts are numbered to assist in the chronological unfolding of the story. Tweed Valley, NSW, Australia. View my complete profile. The costs will be added to this list as they hit the pocket.

Stumped: Missing Comments

http://deliveredandstumped.blogspot.com/2010/03/missing-comments.html

Tuesday, 23 March 2010. Lately I have been preparing some more posts to put up here and I noticed that all the past comments have gone missing. I have no idea why they went or where they went. Maybe they thought they could be of better use commenting on someone else's blog. If so I hope they return when they're done. Until then I offer my apologies to those whose comments are among them. Ooh I just noticed that they are all back now. Strange. Weird blog business. Carry on. 2 August 2010 at 07:58. Id love...

Stumped: March 2008

http://deliveredandstumped.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, 22 March 2008. 7 - The Process Begun. Where do I begin in unpacking this mixed bag of fun and adventure? Well the first thing we had to do before paying the rest of the deposit on the house was to get a building inspection done. This involves an ex builder, now inspector, walking around the house and kicking its tyres - so to speak. For this we paid 260 clams. He said the place looks fine now but who knows what it may be like after being cut in half and moved? As I have said early, we had to ch...

Stumped: November 2008

http://deliveredandstumped.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, 16 November 2008. 18 - The Back Stairs. So stairs it was. He came along and asked us what we wanted. We went with elaborate. Rather than having the stairs running straight down from a platform attached to the deck we preferred them coming down from the deck and then hitting an independent platform and doing a right angle down to the ground. A little pricier this way but who’s counting? Links to this post. Thursday, 13 November 2008. 17 - The Catch Up. Alright time for a catch up. For months this ...

Stumped: 17 - The Catch Up

http://deliveredandstumped.blogspot.com/2008/11/17-catch-up.html

Thursday, 13 November 2008. 17 - The Catch Up. Alright time for a catch up. I have been awfully slack with updating this blog. There are a few reasons for this the main one is of course that I have been up to my eyes in house related activities for the last few months. Every weekend is filled up by filling the gaps left by dwindling finances and busy trades people on other jobs. We have been doing all sorts of things we would have previously preferred other more seemingly skilled people to tackle. We fin...

Stumped: January 2008

http://deliveredandstumped.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 29 January 2008. 1 - The Back Story. Purchasing a 15 acre block of land in the beautiful Tweed Valley in northern New South Wales (Australia) some five and half years ago my mind has seemed to constantly be entertaining thoughts of what type of house to build here. No “Owner Builder’ magazine crossing my path was left unopened, no related website. No picture of anything habitat design related was left unscrutinised. The site chosen for the house. No Plasterboard Internal Linings. Wooden lined wa...

Stumped: 21 - The Solar Hot Water System

http://deliveredandstumped.blogspot.com/2009/04/21-solar-hot-water-system.html

Sunday, 12 April 2009. 21 - The Solar Hot Water System. While I am shamelessly plugging products with free abandon, I'd like to record my admiration for the Apricus. Evacuated tube solar hot water system we had installed some months ago. This thing is an absolute gem - so far. We got the 250 litre 20 tube system. We were used to living with a 50 litre electric system in the shed for the last three years. So 250 litres should be ample. Here it is on the roof. 30 April 2009 at 21:20. 8 May 2009 at 16:03.

Stumped: 16 - The Putting Back Together of the Front Verandah

http://deliveredandstumped.blogspot.com/2008/08/putting-back-together-of-front-verandah.html

Sunday, 24 August 2008. 16 - The Putting Back Together of the Front Verandah. These posts are very heavy. Another issue emerged early on when we found that the bearers did not quite fit as well as they should have on the fresh new stumps that stood there waiting for them. We had to bolt a strong bracket to the top of the stump which increased its footprint on the bearer. This seemed to work rather well at the time. Let’s hope it keeps on working. Jan's dad and I.

Stumped: 23 - The Bathroom

http://deliveredandstumped.blogspot.com/2010/02/23-kitchen.html

Monday, 29 November 2010. 23 - The Bathroom. So with that aside now well aside let's talk bathroom. When I say new bathroom I do so because we moved ours from the middle of the house to the back deck where the laundry once was. Remember? Here it is covered in this post from a while back. 8220;Sure you could do that if you wanted but it wasn’t how it was done back then” kind of retorts persistently swung back in our suggestions. By the end of an almost two hour visit to her sm. We had reservations about a...
