We're still looking in then out of the Australian shed!
and why not! its a great slab structure for sure.
My grandfather had stables on his property built like that. Not a nail in site.
All just wire and timber!
:o)
Hehehe, I love the feel Simon! Many where I lived down south had homes very similar. That's where I learnt about back burning, axes and chainsaws! Mudhouses, slab and bottlehomes! All in a balanced environment with lots of trees of course :)
Yah das windows ist glugenheimer unt strauss housen.
HAH? The windows are glued together with straw Albrecht von Krappa!?! That's foliage outside!
...and probably lasts longer than rotting nails. Old structures seemed to have been built with quality in mind and balance with nature.
Yah Ces, dast is true.
Okay, firstly the house isn't glued together with foliage and secondly Ces, yah, dast ist true about balance in nature maybe where you are from. Here they built like the English in the olden days with no idea about Australian climate or its wildlife. However, more are building environmentally conscious homes in Australia now.
Yah ich know that already.
You're in a very agreeable mood Alrecht von Krappa :)
really! I have a friend who built out of mud brick and another who has a slab house and a tree as the main support in the centre (done properly!)
I would do the same if I did not have to drive so far to work...
Errrm your friends don't happen to live near the Brogo River do they Simon? Hhehee! There are tons of homes outside Sydney built similarly but of course none of the occupants work in Sydney on a daily basis or even visit at all :)
I will not live in a house like this where the animals and bugs can go though the slits between the timbers or wooden planks. Secondly I need to have a good looking toilet that flushes or I will just go out into the woods and do it there. Having said that i will then have to worry about snakes. So no. I cannot be a Bush baby. However, if I lived with a group of people I may do it. I certainly don't want to be the 'mother' in a house without an electric stove and expected to feed hungry teenagers. Also who does the laundry? Not me.
Love the pic that shows the window from one side to the other. Beautiful!
hmmmm...i think you need curtain to make it look even great...
Dude, that's like, a psychotic nutjob's secret shed. I like it.
Oh. We can stuff the holes with foliage or mud Ces! But you'll be going out into the bush for toilet anyway :) The snakes are more afraid of you than the other way around! Besides, it's winter time now and you won't see any. I'm here! That's a group isn't it? Cooking is easy, the kids will collect the sticks :) We just all go swimming in the river with our clothes on! Easy ... ;)
Thankyou Indigo-daisy :)
No worries JeFf&NoVa, can we use your shirt or trousers?
Hhehheee, welcome Tony LaRocca! I'll put the billy on the fire :)
I am not about to find out who is more afraid. I already know - me!
Hhehhee, relax Ces! The billy has just boiled, cuppa?
Hah! Billycan! I just learned a new word. Thanks. We should make s'mores.
You sound a lot more relaxed Ces :) Speaking .... French now? Heehee. Billy-can might be two words. I emptied a can of baked beans, burnt the label and excess beans off by rolling it around in the charcoal, gave it a rinse, chucked in some fesh water and DAHDAH! There's your billy! It's easier to pour from if you puncture two holes at the top and wire it before it gets hot ;)
