exciting new project

after a successful business meeting on Thursday we are now looking into converting a large house into two holiday lets. the coming weeks will see us looking at all the works required to allow the client to decide if its feasible for her
this will also generate a management job/cleaner for the properties, a website being built and local trade so its very exciting

work coming up in the next week!

we have a wall to start (claunch), the bathroom to finalise now painting has been completed, trellis to add to a fence to deter would be oil thief's.

installing concrete posts and panels

one of the benefits of concrete posts over wooden ones is the ability to change the panels at any time, so you can meet your budget and start with larch lap (usually the cheapest) then move onto something more elaborate at any time.
also the posts never rot!!!! they do look out of place with the wrong panels so choose wisely!

i would always use a concrete gravel board as it stops the panel rotting and provides a solid base
you will find that most panels need to have wedges put at the ends or the back of the panel or they will rattle in the wind
you can lift them out and paint them at any time also
make sure you put at least 450mm of post into the ground and pack out with rubble and then use two bags of post create. its dearer in the short term but sets in 10 minutes and saves so much time so it actually works out cheaper.the bags say "one bag per post", that's up to you but usually the wind will loosen your posts so use two
these are just a few tips for you any other questions send them and i will try to answer them for you
regards

this little job of fitting a hand rail and painting the front edge of the path went well!
then all down hill on the way to the next job a major accident so no access (hope the people were ok)
so onto a visit to a potential client, this went well as owns a beetle and a camper. off home to ther plasterer doing my house. no van , house unlocked| lovely mkm had not delivered the plaster as promised so he went home. house in a tip from preperation and one bags worth of plastering. from a 1030 delivery to 1330 actual delivery. loads of excuses and lies which did not help the day. but the pre school got there unit water tight as i went and finished the job and eventually got home at 1930. all tired out and ready for a well deserved snooze on the couch.
