Heritage Style Restoration 18

Heritage Style Restoration in Strathfield 5

My favourite clients again commissioned me in 2008 to build their architect-designed, Council-approved brand new fence sympathetic to the period style of the house. The corner block has approximately 70 metres of boundary against the council infrastructure footpath and crossover.
The work involved:
demolition of the existing ankle-high brick fence and footing by my demolisher, labourers and myself;
boring/drilling of 600 mm wide pier holes down to stable less reactive clay every lineal metre or so and filling with concrete at the calculated correct R.L. by my excavator, labourer and myself;
excavation down to the top of the concrete piers for a 400 mm x 600 mm footing by my excavator, labourer and myself;
placement of steel reinforcement into the footings by my labourers and myself;
placement of concrete into the footings by myself and the excavator;
bricklaying blue/black bricks to knee height and columns projecting higher and acid cleaning by my bricklayer and labourers;
installation of treated pine timber infill panels between the brick columns by myself and the labourer;
installation of a combination of treated pine timber and American western red cedar infill panels beside some of the brick columns by myself;
installation of American western red cedar gates by myself;
installation of sandstone capitals onto the top of the brick columns by my bricklayer;
sliding gates at the driveway carport mouth by myself;
matching internal division fencing by myself;
reinstatement of the damaged Council footpath by myself and the labourer;
and decorative painting by the painter(all as per the photographs).
