hugh Posted 17November, 2015 Report Share Posted 17November, 2015 It is an amazing tree though, I'm glad you've managed to work with it. Without it the home could look like its located anywhere, stunning piece of Australian context to have within the surrounds of a city/urban environment. Looks like its been worth the effort mate.

edgy Posted 22November, 2015 Report Share Posted 22November, 2015 Stacker is Deffinately a 'next year completion.' House we are trying to get into for xmas... The house is looking sensational mate. Assume those are accordion glass doors? Will have to swing by once your in and have a look. love that alfa kurt...what's the plan with it...is it road registered and are you driving it around.that red one is for parts, got a cleaner one that's getting painted and swapping running gear + interior into. Will be a club rego car for my son to start doing motorkhana... I'll enjoy flogging it on the street and hearing that flat four sing. It sounds delicious ok back on topic gents. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronBayChris Posted 22November, 2015 Report Share Posted 22November, 2015 And make sure you have a drainage pit and automatic pump to pump out unexpected water from storms etc....just in case! what is your plan when you have heavy rain and the power is knocked out. Do you have a diesek generator or Tesla powerwall as backup ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 22November, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 22November, 2015 what is your plan when you have heavy rain and the power is knocked out.

Last week we struck what seems like a small spring. Checked it out for town water from a leaking pipe but that came back negative. We have a hydraulics guy working on a solution now but with X-mas just around the corner it looks like the stacker project will be put on hold for a while. Might just have a massive rocky muddy pool for the kids instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 31December, 2015 Report Share Posted 31December, 2015 Still just a half dug hole. Ensuite looks ok though...just saw this thread...MOAR pics of ensuite?? Looks fantastic mate! We have been undergoing a complete cosmetic rennovation inside and out on our home for the past 6 months, but certainly no holes as big as that. Xmas was our target date too but it never quite works out that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
