Craftsman builder
When Mark started his building career, he undertook a mix of alterations, extensions, and new homes, in which a lot of old craftsman skills were learnt. This included building wall and roof structures from packs of timber onsite.
This was a time when the builder completed most elements of the build, e.g. all foundation work and for Mark this included floating all floor slabs, foundation excavation work, roofing iron installation and gutters, making door jams, window frames, facing for around windows, which sometimes required fluting design and tongue and groove floor installations.
Ship restoration:
This was done over a 4 month period by Mark as the main craftsman builder on the vessel. Completing 16 cabins, each with en-suites - being complete refits of 16 cabins including their own en-suites as well as the ship galley and saloon, which was lined with mahogany timber paneling, also the refurbishment of the Kauri handrail around the exterior of the ship.
Log Homes:
Mark sees the log homes as probably the most challenging but most rewarding builds he has ever undertaken. They challenge not only the builder, but also tools and general equipment used throughout the process and this is mainly due to the size and scale of the timber required but nowhere else has Mark had a greater challenge nor greater reward from knowing you truly built the home by hand.
