Home DIY, Art & Craft, making stuff

Started the deconstruction of the back porch. After overthinking how I could keep the roof temporarily while building the new deck and struggling to figure out how to do that, I just went F it, tear down and rebuild.

So got to work today pulling off the roof. Aluminium sheets, not iron, 3 different kinds of screws and other complications which made it a PITA of a job. Being high 20's and a squadron of bush flies who think sweat and aeroguard are both aphrodisiac made it more fun.

Unscrewed what I could reach and cut the heads of the rest with the multitool which now needs a new blade, but we're underway and I can now see the clear plan moving forward. hope to have at least the frame up ad the new deck before Xmas.

Well done Stui. The benefit of retirement is having the time do these projects. I've completed a full ensuite renovation. The only other trades I called in were a sparky and a glazier for the shower screen. Really happy with the result and plenty of positive comments from visitors.

So, whilst on a roll, I've gutted the main bathroom. Installing a large bath and wall hung vanity. I purchased a laser level for the ensuite, it is amazing the accuracy rather using spirit levels.
