[QUOTE="dezman, post: 43533, member: 1018"] Building the third and final camp before the new building laws came in! I used iron bark and cypress as the white ants are very hungry out there. I wanted this cabin to stand a hundred years but early on it nearly burnt down in the first few months with a wood heater I wrongly installed! I am lucky that's for sure, so many close calls in life. The wife and I built this to lock up stage in four weeks flat, then I fitted it out between mining and rain. To be young again, I push the young guys now to get out there and have a go while they have some life in them. I hope I get to build again soon, one last go at it would be nice. [/QUOTE]
