Exterior timber done in Livos exterior and Taubmans exterior endure, Colourbond monument.
This is the finished product with a lot of elbow grease from our new apprentice Ghulam 'G' for short
Sanding with the machine sander, deck wash and then 2 coats of Livos exterior oil.
The deck after sanding and deck wash
Using an oil is much easier to maintain for the future life of the deck.
Rather than using an acrylic decking product that will just sit on top of the timber and never penetrate. Oil done properly will soak into the timber and create a barrier to keep out the elements.
The oil brings out the natural colours in the decking timber.
The oil has a hint of colour in it, this acts as a sunscreen for the oil and timber which helps with the longevity. Keeping the uv from breaking down the oil too fast and drying out the deck.
A great job to work on with Bill and his crew from Topp Constructs. Big thanks to my guys Aaron, Marlowe & Steve from MWP awesome work.
This renovation has some great interior and exterior design. Timber, colour, cabinetry, lighting and tiles.
Something all you revovators should aspire to.
When you don't have a lot of space out back. A big deck , BBQ and a vertical garden is always a great option for great use of space.
Got the chance to help out in an add for ryobi this week

This feature cedar paneling was coated in an exterior varnish originally. Then re-varnished without taking the original coating off creating a very patchy unstable surface.
With the old varnish stripped using the Festool sanders and a lot of hard work we were able to get the timber back to the beautiful original colour.
Livos exterior decking oil was then applied and what a difference a great product makes.
Using an oil makes it much easier to maintain for the future. Letting a varnish break down can be a lot of work and $$$ to get the timber back to a condition to be redone.
Using a great product and applied properly the surface will be protected for a long time.
Those boys work hard. Thanks gents
This is a small vid I got to do a few years ago with Livos.
Painting the internals of your fence will always change the interior of your yard. A darker background is a great way to enhance your new or existing garden and landscaping
Colourbond Monument is a super colour that is dark enough but also has a hint of brown which gives it a more natural look than a straight black.
All our fences are rolled on with 2 coats of a good quality exterior Lowsheen. Rolling and brushing gives you a lot better coverage and gets into the timber and not just sitting on top of the timber like it would if sprayed.
After two + years of recycling all our paint waste I thought it time to recycle
PAINT BACK is a new paint waste recycling initiative. Open to Trades and the public.....So good 👍🏼
So now we pay an extra 15 cents a litre and this in turn allows us to recycle all our old tins, plastic, metal and any left over paint.
Win win for us and the planet
Being responsible does take a bit of effort and extra time, but if we can help reduce more unwanted landfill and toxic waste going into our beautiful earth 🌏 then that's what we need to do.
This was just half of what we had used. A full van load of around 200 tins. Not going into land fill !!
Metal, plastic and paint waste all seperated ready for there next incarnation
Sometime when you get really busy and you need a hand to get the job done best call in the professional

A quick little job in Bentleigh east
This house was a rental and in pretty horrible state. All the walls upstairs were painted a light blue, scuffed and painted in a very flat paint.
We prepared and repainted ceilings, walls, doors and all trim.
The client had a budget but my quotation was a bit over what she could afford. But with a few adjustments we got in budget and on time for the carpet to go in and my client to move into.
