Welcome

We are the owners of a 1.4 hectare block of land on the Central Coast.

The site includes areas of rainforest which have been badly overrun by non-native plants. Our project is to restore the rainforest and to build an environmentally sustainable house on the site.

This blog records the bush regeneration work we are undertaking and the progress on building the house.

Photos from week starting 7th March

We reached a really big milestone this week with the start of the construction of the roof.  The main roof joists are made from laminated timber and the length of them is quite impressive.

The main joists along the east side of the house have been positioned so that we can now see the folded profile of the roof
This is the sloping joist across the lounge
Looking along the east facade showing the three bays of sloping joists
The sloping joists in each bay need to be positioned very carefully and the ends  profiled  so that they can be joined together
Looking south along the hallway

The joists are significant pieces of timber
One of the last pieces of brickwork is the column outside the garage that supports the roof overhang
