Hahaha well considering it was asbestos… ⚠️

That's what I thought an outback dunny

Thank you for the info 🙂 It was more for display purposes but great to know. Thank you

Thanks!

Looks like Shrek’s Outhouse

Cladding aka asbestos

I have 4 filmed, just need to find time to edit them. Thank you for sticking around!

Was built in the 50s, so trying to incorporate some mid century style into the renovation 🙂

It sure is. I’d say it’s a combination of it being built at the time as ‘investor grade’ and having little upkeep since. The other place I renovated, c1890, was certainly built to last - more so than this one. Is your place brick or timber stud?

Hahaha! Exactly!

Yes trying to keep it pretty 1950s/MCM style. Lucky this style is very ‘in’ at the moment, so easy to find materials! 🙂

Yes luckily I have a couple of vouchers, saves a few hundred dollars! Haha it’s tiny!

@@OurPastAu I gathered it was the old outhouse. It looks like the one we used to have use at my Grandparents farm.

Thanks!

Certainly made a difference to the feel of the place! Haha, from NSW

@@OurPastAu plz know I wasn’t trying to insult you. It’s so nice to see a fellow Aussie doing this and repairing and saving these homes. I promise not to comment on every vid as I binge watch ya channel. Haahaa 😅😂

Hahah I didn’t take it as an insult, don’t worry! Feedback is always great, so all good 😆

Thanks 👍

Great question, in some cases the extent of the National Park may only reach the high tide mark, so below this may be allowed. It would be best to check with your local NPWS office to confirm this if you had a specific location in mind.

@OurPastAu yeah i call them up they just said its a no in general. But i feel like the water side of it is different you know what i mean. Or a lake that runs through it. Its just a waste not being detected 😂 but have to follow rules

Thanks!

Hi Elly, it’s a product from James Hardie. If you search ‘Hardie Groove VJ panel’ it should show up. About $160/sheet. A little more expensive than the EasyCraft MDF alternative, but I wanted to make sure it would withstand the high moisture aspect of a bathroom so I decided on the Hardie FC product. This can also be used as cladding on the exterior of a home. FC sheets can be difficult to cut, so I put the cut edge at the top, where the chair rail will run. Used liquid nails to adhere it to the wall with countersunk FC sheet screws Then primed it with a good quality undercoat. Hope this helps!

Was a bit of a surprise!

Have some short metal detecting videos coming soon 🙂

Thanks, glad you’re enjoying it!

Thanks!

Probably not this time Steven, going to try these short format videos. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Lori!

I had them cut by a local timber mill. I took in an original piece which they used as a guide to then cut the timber of my choice (exterior grade pine). I found the mill through a small franchise hardware store, that sources from them. From memory it worked out at about $10/m for the internal lengths, slightly more for external. There was a setup fee of $80ish (to match the knives needed to create the profile), so best to order all at once. Companies such as Intrim offer similar products, but their exterior range was limited, also cost 3x as much. Prices would have gone up, as this was 2021 that I ordered them. Hope this helps!

Absolutely gorgeous ❤ you are so skilful. Gotta love a French door😍.

Thank you Kim, much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey Bennon, it's been a while - you too! Thanks

@@OurPastAu Yeah man! We were talking about you and your channel on my live stream. Prompted me to take a look :)

Thanks Justin!
