ohh and here are some old pics of my lower level (don't think I ever posted them)

Hey all, Thought I would share my hard work and years in the making (took my time with this one). 100% designed by me and even worked on it with my contractor too let the pics to the talking...

So does anyone have any recommendations for a contractor (someone who can do the above work)? The bifold doors are awesome and something I have always wanted for my place they are too heavy not to have a track for top and bottom, I made sure the gap was minimal between floor boards and tiles... It's completely opens up the area and allows great flow of air too. If you are interested some more pics of my place (made it very open plan): Cheers Rob

some more:

Thats a good idea.. I have actually already had a fence built (downstairs) and also a planter box.. I'm looking at doing the same for upstairs so this should be easy - I want someone to replicate what has been done.. The work I'm looking for is not a balcony, it's a huge rooftop... Here are the pics of what I had done (it's Balau hardwood): Screening / Fence, it's aprox 2 feet high Planter box (Soil in with Marine Ply on the inside): The roof top fencing is expected to be aprox 12 mtr long and the planter is about 6 meters long Cheers Rob

Closing this off, This was the finished result: very happy with this as it allows great breeze and light through! Cheers

Hi All, Any ideas where I can look for a wood work contractor to build a very simple fence for screenage? Just 2 foot high along my balcony to help make it a little more private. I'm stuck looking for contractors, I would do it myself but dont have any tools.. Thanks Rob

Hi, Looking for a contractor and or handman to help me build a few planter boxes (proper ones using marine ply on the inside and soil in etc). I am planning to build myself but need tools and an extra pair of hands, if that fails then happy to pay someone for the labour (I have the shop that supplies the wood already). Another project is to extend my terrace which is covering the Jacuzzi, I want to make it 3 times larger and it will need new roofing and wood structure. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks Rob

Hi all, We have what I would call pretty extensive renovations on our 3 bedroom penthouse underway (about 1800-1900sqft on main living level plus roodtop) To me it's still a long way from being done.. Still have: - More electrical work to be done - all carpentry (lots of it) kitchen, walkin wardrobe, bathrooms, spare room wardrobe - Tiling in Kitchen - HEAPS of outsoor roofing/decking and planter box's - 3 sets of Bi-Fold doors - windows & Doors - Ceiling is un finished - lighting All of the above means the workers need to bring in equipment, materials and eneter/leave through the front door.. As you can see in the pic's it's a mess still but they have already started laying our tiles from the front door into living room.. I just can't understand why they have started this process so early.. the tiles are surely going to be damaged or get scratched... We had 9 workers on site yesterday.. So my question - is it normal to lay living room tiles this early??? We have one ID managing this process and he assures us this is normal but I remember him telling me the tilers are grumpy because they need to be at another site already. I feel like he is rushing them to get this done.. To me this is one of the last things they should be doing... Thoughts?

haha thanks, Thats already my worst case decision (if you read my first post ) Definately need glass for sunlight.. Think we will stay with brick up a 1M high and 2 large panes of glass then Thanks again Rob

Thanks for the suggestion Unfortunately as you can see in the first picture, the concrete stair well is hard up against the lower part of the glass brick wall Making it impossible to have sliding doors really. Cheers
