Thread: small project

I'll try this photo first, I don't seem to have much luck getting them to show up...



Its a staircase for the front yard..

Seems to have worked...
I needed to build this staircase in the front yard to access to car parking. It involved blocklaying, concreting, rendering, bricklaying and tiling.

top job, looks good

those tile, wont get slippery when wet ?

Thanks Terrain
No their pretty good. Not too slippery at all. They are Boral Riviera 300x300 (the colour is Pescara)

Maaate - you've excelled yourself! Looks great. I reckon a few might see that project as not so small though . . .

hello,

top job, great solid construction

concrete, blocks and bricks such underrated building materials

thanks
myla

Great use of multiple materials and they mix well. Looks great!

not such a small project - looks great, well done!!

Thanks folks for the kind words.
I am happy to say that I like the look of it now, much better than the "institutional" looking grey block walls. all up there are 146 red bricks laid as capping to date. This is only a part of the front garden walls. I estimate there is another 400 to lay along the rest of the walls and the rest of the walls to render.
The walls of the house will be rendered in a slightly darker colour (imagine that colour, wet) and the roof will be "wilderness" colorbond.

Slight correction.... the tiles are by Austral brick.
