years ago a bloke made his bricks on his block whilst living in his caravan.
then went and brought old recycled timber from country bridges, did see the house finished ,
awesome but way out of place in Sydenham, needed to be on a mountain up Wondong way.
Your father was a visionary for sure no wonder your proud
Amazing place AB, your old man is a true craftsman. Themisses and I are in the plannning stages for build our next place but from straw. Will likely be in far south NSW or just over the border in VIC. Just have to seel here first
That looks awesome mate, my dream right there. 10acres with a good building site with a view and the recourses to build something like that.
Yes building codes today make this much more difficult and the use of second hand materials can be hard to get approval for. Love it. Back in the day those second hand beams were reasonable priced too, today they are Gold and you pay Big Bux for beams that size!!
Love the Rammed Earth too @Growler, there is a bit of that around Geelong and it looks very cool.
There is a massive Hay Bail building in Geelong too. Was originally built as a winery about 15 years ago, very kool to see the build. Unfortunately it went out of business but the building is still there. Big building too!! I will see if I can upload a couple of google images.
iPad screen shots sorry.

All the grape vines have been removed now and I think it's a Conference centre or something??
