Terry and his mother Jill fixing down down flooring in T & M's owner build project, June 25 2016.
Over the years several of our children have embarked on some impressive owner-build house projects. Currently nearing completion is our number two son Terry and his fiancé Melissa's home at North Coogee. The couple have put in an enormous personal effort, time and money with their two story 'cottage' over the past 18 months. One of the other secrets to success with such projects is to have family and friends willing to help out in a plethora of different ways when required, and this project has been no exception. With Mel temporally absent this weekend due to her regular work commitments, it was a pleasure for Jill and myself to spend yesterday helping Terry fix some Tasmanian oak floorboards to the concrete in the downstairs area. They needed to be methodically glued, clamped and nailed in groups. I'm pleased to report that the light is at the end of the tunnel in this respect, but T&M will still have the unenviable task of sanding and sealing them.
