Backyard Cabin Complete

After what seems like 200 hours of painting, fillering, sanding, wiping and a lot of blood, sweat and tears our little cabin is finished. 

Take a look at some of the latest interior and exterior pictures.

Our only remaining element for the bathroom is the shower door and screen, which has now taken 4 weeks to sort out. Amazing how some of the things that you think would be so simple can be so hard. We are primed and ready for the certifier as soon as the glass is installed and then we can have guests to stay.

We are looking forward to getting the furniture in and doing a spot of interior finessing.

Backyard Cabin - Day 14

Unfortunately I’ve kind of lost track of the days a bit with the cabin, easy to do when the tradesmen  rarely turn up when they promise they will. The ridge capping and barge capping are now on, the hot water system is installed and the inside has been gyprocked and plastered.

All the days have now blended into one long paintathon, Mr L’Orange has done all the ceilings and roller work whilst I have been cutting in and painting the outside. Whilst it was great to have the Weathtex cladding pre-primed, grey probably wasn’t the best colour as it takes at least three coats of paint to cover it properly. The cabin is slowly transforming into something you can imagine living in, unlikely to be finished before March however L

The electrics go in, the cladding is finished and the insulation and gyprock have been purchased, we are well on the way to finishing.

Backyard Cabin - Day 8

The roof gets finished, lucky as we kept getting hail storms which isn't good for the fibro. Things are now progressing along really quickly.

Backyard Cabin - Day 7

The veranda gets put in place so more of the roof can get in place, tin will then go on to kep it watertight.

Backyard Cabin - Day 6

The roof goes on! We are amazed by how quickly things seem to be progressing.

Backyard Cabin - Day 5

The actual cabin starts getting built today and things start to speed along with the frame going up, the windows going in and our little cabin starting to take shape.

Today the trenches all get back filled, all is approved by the certifier and the concrete slab got poured - a big day on site.
