Long time no Post!

The boys have been up in Port Jackson for the last month or so tidying up some bathrooms, a couple of deck add ons for a chiller with a new roof, a new toilet block for the walkers and a bit of reroofing here and there for the Ward family🛖 although we are still unsure if we are working or on holiday we have managed to keep work progress high ☀️ the hospitality has been unreal and we are very lucky to have experienced this working alongside Shaun Richardson as Hammerdown Construction. Check out a few photos of what we got upto, there’s plenty of other “time off” adventures I didn’t capture but this will give you an idea 🎣 🏍️🥾as always a few cool things on the horizon so keep a look out for the next post 👌🔥

⭐️Been a wee while since the last update 😩🤷🏽‍♂️ Time flies these days! Just a bit of what’s been going on lately, a lot of touch up/repair jobs thanks to Lodge Property Management. Have recently got Joe onboard to do a lot of Plaster/Paint jobs as he can do both and is a wiz at them 🧙‍♂️ Also Ebco roofing have done a full reroof this month also and hoping to have another one in the pipelines, he is also great and Efficient at what he does. So if you require any of our services don’t hesitate to get in touch, as always doesn’t mean you have to go through with anything, ideas etc are cool too! 🫡 couple of cool little projects on the horizon, so hopefully won’t be as long till the next update 😬

⭐️ Helping out one of our new contractors this week. Needing a push on this deck, Myself and Ronin went from piles to 98% complete 30 odd sqm Kwila deck in 3 days! With a few fiddly boards to go we ran out of time, but a good push anywho 👊

✨From old and dated to Clean and modern 👌 Tahuna Kitchen Job officially done and what a difference it has made. The area is opened up and provides a more modern and welcoming living and dining space. The clients are happy which is the main priority and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The clients want to continue renovations into the near future which is wicked 👍 Thanks to the sub contractors on my part who helped bring the finished result together Sparky- Jandre van den Heever, Plasterer - Joe, Contract Builder Kpn Builders Ltd much appreciated

Check out these photos and if you are in the market for some renovations don’t hesitate to reach out even if it’s just for ideas or pricing you are not committed to anything

⭐️ Update on our Kitchen Renovation in Tahuna. Has been Gibbed, Plastered and Painter has been in and Kitchen installed (No photos as of yet). New doors and hardware installed also. Since the demo it has been opened up and transformed into an open living/kitchen area, with a ton of natural light beaming in. Thanks to the plasterer Joe for his work, Kpn Builders Ltd, and the sparky Jandre. Completion photos to come 📸

⭐️ Nice Little project completed for a client in Newstead. A tidy little kitset Horse shelter delivered by Outpost Buildings NZ and put together by the team at Ajr Building Solutions in 2 days from Bearers to Roof and gutter! Things didn’t quite run as smoothly as we would’ve liked due to a few materials mishaps but we got there in the end. Bit of shelter for the horses from the sun and soon the rain in winter ☀️ ☔️

⭐️ Framing has been taken out, beam installed in ceiling space out of sight, studs packed, insulation has been installed, and gib has started. It’s all starting to come together for our clients in Tahuna. We are happy with our progress so far. Shout out to Keaton Neels for lending me a hand on this project, absolute machine! Biggest shoutout goes to Tanekaha Developments Limited for the lead on the job and putting my name forward for the work 🤟🏾 much appreciated. If you haven’t heard of them go check out their page they provide a wide range of services!

🌟 First Project of the new year. This Kitchen with a single door backing onto the lounge space is going to be opened up big time! The Client has been putting in the work over the break demoing what he can to push things along and have it ready to go come mid January. Awesome little project this one and the outcome will be an open plan living set up with an island bench looking into the lounge and a modern look with fresh white walls and ceiling. Also replacing the door leafs on all rooms 🚪 Out with the old in with the new 🔨 🤟🏾

Happy new year to you all 🎉 I can finally share some near finished photos of Miaou Luxury Cat Lodge . I say near as there is always little bits to complete but it has had its first dozen or so clients through over the break and is set to take off as the year progresses. If you haven’t already, check out there page and if you know of anyone looking for a cattery don’t hesitate to message this one as there is plenty of space and you can be assured the cats will be looked after better than me and you 😅

✨Signing off for the year 🎉

Just want to thank everyone who has helped me out this first year and supported me wether it be with work or following my page etc! I won’t name names because I’ll forget people that’s how many there’s been! It’s been a busy first year in business and I’ve learnt a s**t load and a lot to come still. Not everything has gone to plan but nothing ever will right? 😅 a couple of fresh projects on the cards next year so eager to share those with you all!
For now it’s time to rest up and enjoy the summer ☀️I hope everyone enjoys there holiday and stays safe ❤️Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 🌲

✨Shed coming along well! Been a challenging task creeping into different areas of the trades outside carpentry but it’s been a great learning experience and has come up not too bad. Glad to say it’s fully weather tight now and drainage has gone in! CCC is about to be issued also. Now the fit out is due to start inside and we have a deadline! So hopefully it won’t be long till the next update all going to plan 🫣 thanks to the helpers along the way and Laser Plumbing Hamilton East for the drainage 🤟🏾

⭐️2/2 bathroom completed, the client went a step further on this second bathroom and plastered this one themselves as there was space between trades. A lick of paint and it looks great! That wraps up the works being done here in Horotiu, thanks to the bulk supplier Mitre 10 MEGA Hamilton, Dr Plumber for working in to get the job done aswell 🤟🏾

⭐️ Bit of what’s been happening lately. Variety of works from hanging new doors and hardware, facia replacement, deck relays and re clads, to rotten toilet floors and window jambs. Sheds up and is nearing stage 1 of 3 completion. Know anyone needing building work done or a quote before Christmas lunch? Feel free to pass on my details 🤟🏾 stay safe and remember there’s only 65 sleeps till Christmas 🎄

💫 Few before and after photos of 1 of 2 bathrooms in Horotiu. Pretty basic bathroom renovation switch with no change to the layout. An upgraded Vanity/Mirror Cabinet, Toilet and shower was all it needed. New tiling down and a fresh coat of paint modernised the bathroom well! The client put in the hard yards and done the demo which is always helpful! Stay tuned for bathroom 2, similar but on a slightly bigger scale 👌🏽

💫 Few progress shots of the shed going up, almost framed up ready to roof and clad, as always thanks to the helping hands along the way, makes everything run a tad smoother! 🏠 The Waikato Shed Company

⭐️ Few photos of a job for Lodge Real estate. Brought to our attention by Ryan Gulbransen and Know Your Building. The replacement of a moisture damaged sheet and framing in behind took some patience and new H flashings installed as the old flashings we’re rusty and past there best before. However being almost 6metres from the ground brought its own challenges. That being said the New home owners are happy and the house was sold knowing they are water tight and dry. A lick of paint to the cladding and facia finished the job nicely👌

🌟 Shout out to Alternative Graphics and Design for whacking some signage on the van. If you need some done he is your man! Awesome attention to detail and super efficient 🤟🏾 Aaron Joines

⭐️ Helping the charity out for the day, making things a little bit tidier amongst all the clothes and toys. If you know of some kids in need of clothes etc give Clothe our Kids - Waikato a message , they are great! 🧸

💫 Bathroom 1 of 2 Renovation in Horotiu coming along nicely, shower base and lining installed, along with a 1200mm Mirror cabinet and Vanity to match. New gib installed in some places and plastered internal and external corners testing the skill level but saves the hassle of other contractors getting involved. Keep a look out for the finished product, with tiling and painting still to come

🌟 Crete awn! Concrete ready to go down, Footings, Polythene, Steel mesh and chairs all done ready for grey gold 🪨 timelapse video incoming stay tuned 🤟🏾 🎥

💫 An in-house project which will be our future home 🏡 200m2 The Waikato Shed Company kit set in Ohaupo. Couple of pad prep photos and plenty more to come on this one! 🔨

💫 One of the later projects, a 70m2 Kwila deck completed in Tauwhare with Assembled Building, just in time for summer ☀️🤟🏾🔨
