Bloomfield Lodge
Gazebo and deck extensions
The brief was simple:-
“Build a 50 square metre staff area with pitched roof, timber joinery, kitchen and deck; a patio area eleven metres by four metres with tiles; a deck the same size with two gazebos, octagons 3.6 radius with shingle roofs and seats and tables inside and all during the wet season in only 7 days”.
To compound the problems of the exercise, Bloomfield is a land-locked resort in remote North Queensland - no ready-mix, no road access and transported in by barge. With military precision the Jon Nott Building team of twenty-eight trades men accomplished all they set out to do and finished on time. However there was no rest on the seventh day!
