Heritage Style Restoration 6

By Michael Como | August 28, 2010 |

Balustrade Restoration by Custom Home Builder

We have been Custom  Home  Building on a 100-year-old Federation Home in  Strathfield  NSW  Australia since  1998!  Are you thinking why has it taken so long?  Well, it’s a  big family home on a  rambling parcel of land and a  lot of work of renovation,  restoration and extension have been required.

Only recently a building and pest inspector discovered rotting wood on a  balcony balustrade and reported it to the owner.

Your friendly,  efficient,  productive and industrious Custom  Home  Builder  (yours truly ) was commissioned to restore the balustrade.

Here’s  the  photo:

The existing pickets on this balcony and elsewhere on the house are fantastical flowers,  you will note an existing one on the right of the photo.

Custom  Home  Builder obtained:

some  old  clear  Oregon ( in  stock  but originally of  USA origin ) for the  bottom  rail and  machined the  sloping  rebate with an electric skill saw,

some  new  western  red  cedar (of  USA origin) for the  vertical balusters,

some new western red cedar (of  USA origin) for the vertical pickets and with an electric jigsaw cut out the fantastical flowers.

Many years ago, circa the year 2000, a cardboard stencil of the fantastical flower was made and is still utilised on this property.

All cut end-grain was sealed before nailing.

The sealing of end grain is an effort to prolong the life of the timber element. Many years ago in Australia, the sealing of timber was done with red lead primer but it was banned due to its toxicity.

    This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how
    to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos,
    I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
    almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to say,
    and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
