Final part of the deck rebuild.
Boards down, lines tight, no shortcuts.
This is the part everyone sees — so it better be done properly.

Learning the basics properly so I don’t look like a flog on site later.

Framing up the new deck and getting the structure locked in before the boards go down.

Ripped up the old FC sheets today and finally got a proper look at the warzone hiding underneath.
Some of these floors are held together with hope and a couple of rusty nails 🤦🏽‍♂️

Next step: straighten the frame, fix the dodgy bits, and rebuild it properly so this bathroom actually has a future.

If you enjoy the behind-the-scenes stuff, let me know — I’ll film the full process start to finish.

What would you have done first if this was your place? 👇

Deck rebuild: Demo day.
The part of the job nobody sees — and where all the real problems hide.

It was pretty fun learning how to install a rondo system with a shadow gap in this bathroom 🛁

Thanks to the boys Penrith Automotive Repairs for figuring out what was wrong and fixing the actual issue 👌🏽👌🏽 Toyota Australia Penrith TOYOTA TOYOTA

This renovation and extension took around 18 months to complete. There were a few challenges to consider when completing this project… like being in a high fire danger zone and the property being on a very steep slope/cliff.

The end product is a result of master craftsmanship and a home that the customers love

Definitely the worst mistake while doing my apprenticeship!! 😩😩

I’m lucky my boss didn’t lose it, I wouldn’t have blamed him if he did though 😅

Lessons learnt, and I guess I’ll use this as an opportunity to grow and better myself

Just a few baggies of rubble moved out of that bathroom 🧱💪🏽

It’s crazy… I get paid to have a workout 🏋🏽… blessed!!
