According to them we still have an outhouse, hence im going to be carefull as to what i do....
Yes i know everything is asbestos, just going to leave it and paint it
For the one part i mentioned perhaps moving, the little cubboard, well in my line of work im used to working with horrible dusts, and have carbon filtered masks etc. Plus have done a bit of reading on the subject, so though no where near TempesT's knowlege level on the subject i have a rough idea how to proceed.I should make one thing very clear, i have no intention of knocking half the house down and doing anything massive.
Im prepared to blow a few tens of grands on this over the next two years or so, not 100k. I do not have the knowlege, time, patience, or want to undertake such a procedure on my own. I DEFINITELY do not wish to pay someone to do such a modification.
Everything that i have planned out and listed out im confident i can nut out on my own.
Things like moving the toilet, i wouldnt know where/how to start on that one. Plus where would i put it? No room anywhere else. I refuse to have the toilet in the bathroom, plus its no where near big enough anyway. Simply moving the sewerage pipe would be a massive undertaking and something im not willing to even entertain the thought of.
Most of it is rather well built, well ist still standing anyway, and more than likely better than i could do.
As far as opening that rear section goes, im not so sure, surely some of the posts and the like would be structual. I may look at opening it a little bit a bit more, but at the end of the day the laundry is in that area to, and again no where to put it, so thats probably best to keep a bit hidden.
Now, i have made a plan, and i have picked one thing to start with. I dunno what you would call cleaning up and building more sheds to clean up further, but to me thats a reno, so EADC
Some of the projects may overlap a bit though, like i intend to use the pavers from the pergola area for the new shed area, so something will have to be done with the slab there sooner rather than later, but appart from that most of the major stuff will wait for a while.
Forgot to mention, the roof of the house is held on with old lead heads that are #@$^%&, so im going to get a few quotes to have them removed and rescrewed (i could do that, but cbf'd). Then i will paint the roof
Wow such a major undertaking that one.Actual order of proceedings apart from that will basically be as i mentioned things in my littlie walk around post, as i see it atm.
NOW, im going to get a couple of meters of gravel dropped off later this week to spread out over the weekend, how long should i leave it before starting to do the paving thting? I was going to put a layer of black plastic down then some sand then pavers, to try to stopo a bit of moisture coming up.
Should i water the gravel after i have it down to help it settle??
Cheers.
