[naki kid]

Looking good. I bet that fence was a lot of work.

 

[Bears Fan]

Wow what a great build, absolutely gorgeous! Here in the United States we call that "living the American Dream".

 

[naki kid]

Thanks Simon, but the fence was easy to put up ,it just clicked together no nails etc.dug the holes with a post hole borer and ramed them in . the post have the holes drilled in them to accept the rails, they can turn in the holes.

That is cheating. Post and Rail fences do look good.

Just dropped by for a peek into your world and wow what a place

I first thought it was going to be just another tin build What you have created is way over the top
congratulations on a job well done
Now where is that 50's diner you mentioned around page 4 or 5 ???

Thanks for catching me up

Don

P.S.
I've been in your country a few years ago and loved it much
every thing was green with rolling hills as I recall

Must be time we had an update on this place.

 

[Gentle_Ben]

Every time I see pictures of New Zealand, it makes me miss it so much. My wife and I have been there twice, and have put over 11,000km on rental car's touring the North and South Islands.

This is a great build in a fantastic location, thanks for sharing!

 

[Kiwi Tinbender]

Come on, Ray, give us an update. If we don`t get one soon, I`ll have to get Golly to come out and tune you up....Cheers....House....

 

[naki kid]

House. Golly has just finished his bar so no one will see him now.haha,up dates coming soon as we down load some photos. Ray.

 

[Kiwi Tinbender]

Ray--This is true. He already sent me the `Bar Christening` pics. Say Gidday to Willie and Colleen when you see them...It`s been a while!! Looking forward to those pics man..

I have just read your entire thread, wow you have a lovely place, keep up the great work.

Willie and colleen are no longer they split up about 8 years ago.she went back to the states.He has a new woman now been with her for about 3years.

thank you for the reply,Yeah we love it.

 

[Kiwi Tinbender]

Hell, Ray--Nobody tells me anything. Even Golly and Jeana are too busy destroying Inglewood to fill me in. In my defence--Last time I saw the Chief was when he was cutting the roof off the 57 Olds to put it in the container.....Almost 30 years away now, and the trips home I do are to check on my Mum. Hope to make it up your way next year, if everything goes as planned. Any more progress on the Shed? Have you seen Scotty and Delwyn--don`t tell me if they are divorced as well.....!!!

Just stumbled on to this thread, but I was looking at the foundation pictures & i'm wondering why people don't remove all the top soil before pouring a slab ? Top soil doesn't compact like clay ! so when you drive heavier things on the slab it's going to crack sooner or later. My dad built a garage that's been up for 20 + years & there is not 1 crack in it anywhere !

Beautiful Build and Great Looking Piece of Property!
Its a Dream that has become Reality for sure!

 

[roscoe2000]

Man, I love your place...brings a new meaning to " where did your grow up...in a barn?" If I ever get a chance to rebuild....this is just what I'll be thinking about.

 

[Creative Fab]

Nice!!! And a beautiful country, it's on my bucket list to visit.

were we live there is a big gravel shelf only about 24inchs under the top soil so they took that of and filled it back up with gravel.there is 2 layers of gravel one coarse and they top it of with a fine lot.thank you for your reply Ray

Hi, it is a beautiful country, but I think one has to leave it now and then to really appreciate what you have. Ray.
