Cow Flat School

Cow Flat School Our gorgeous old school built in 1879, that we'll turn into a home. You can not preserve heritage without it being lived in and loved.

Well, well, well… Its been a long time between posts and a long time between progress. But we have progress nevertheless as we look to welcome our (LAST!) wee addition to our family… Cove, Poppy & Florence will welcome a wee brother in May and then they’ll get back to work restoring the school, whilst Dad visits the GP 👀🤣

Hands will be back on deck with trench footings to be laid in the coming months and then our focus turns strongly to getting the roof on.

“Without commitment, you'll never start, but more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish”.

Commitment. Consistency. 🙏🏻

Quick update..

So we’re still here! This past year we have been working more on materials, namely paying off these beauties: our tallowwood roof truss beams, which will be exposed internally, 6m x 200mm x 300mm 😍

Bricklayer Required

We’re hoping to find a bricklayer to help us with our restoration project. We are needing to bring the existing walls up 7-8 courses along the long sides of the school (~15m).

Scaffolding will be provided, bricks have been custom made (size matched) and are on site.

We understand it’s a restoration and it is a little more intricate and time consuming than a normal build - but that’s the beauty 🥰

More work available to build besser block retaining wall.

I’m hoping there is a bricklayer that could slot us in between jobs or a semi-retired bricklayer happy to do some work on an old school.

Reach out, let’s have a chat and we’d love to show you round.

It’s been a while between posts as we enjoy wee Florence grow ❤️, but we have been working hard on materials and planning. Here’s a quick update:

- We have engaged a Bathurst fabricator who is fabricating the roof truss brackets and we are looking for install in October (just need brick layer to construct top courses - see follow up post)

- We have ordered the hard wood beams that will make up the roof trusses - tallowwood 6m x 300mm x 200mm (3-6 month wait for the logs)

- trench footings to be laid in Spring

- also in Spring, we have a carpenter that is going to construct the new roof on the entry way

The wheel still turns 🙌🏻

Another of many attempts to get our substantial start. It’s seemingly easier to dig trenches with a machine. Not sure how they did it 1875

We feel our hard work planting a few years ago is starting to pay off - the next 12 months watching the plants continue to mature will definitely compliment some key aspects of the build going up over the next 6-12 months.

Quick update on why progress has been slow... ☺️ 🤰🏼 🥰 Wee one due in February 2021.
