25.01.2022 Congratulations to the Waikerie Magpies on 110 amazing years!! Such a strong family club https://www.facebook.com/1583233785300166/posts/1946710512285823/

24.01.2022 The new business cards arrived today and looking pretty sweet I must say with the new logo on front, thanks to Emma Hodson for her clever design!! Keep your eye out around town for them

23.01.2022 Made a little girl very happy today with this custom made, cottage style Cubby house for Christmas! If you are looking to spoil the kids.....or grandchildren (hint hint to all the nanna's and poppa's out there) for Christmas next year or a birthday I am happy to make them in any design you like, painted or raw

22.01.2022 Last weekend I was lucky enough to take a few days off the tools and spend a few days enjoying my other passion which is Aussie rules footy, and had the opportunity to travel to Alice Spring and help out with the APY thunder footy side. It was great fun, and loved watching some of Australia's best young talent running around doing their thing!

22.01.2022 Hi all, we would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy and safe New year and let everyone know I am back on the job this week. So if there are any jobs big or small around the house you have been putting off for the past year.....or 10......give me a call and I will be happy to do the job or give you a quote! Stop putting off making your house look brilliant.

22.01.2022 Finished up a feature Merbau hardwood decking for a very happy client today. Over the moon with how it came up, finished the front of the house off nicely along with the stone wall and solid timber entry door! Don't forget to give me a call for any job big or small!!

22.01.2022 Thoroughly enjoyed taking on the task of renovating the cabins at Blanchetown Big 4 Caravan park. They have come up a treat. If you are looking for somewhere nice to stay in the beautiful Riverland check them out https://www.facebook.com/Big4Blanchetown/posts/1651820588164239

22.01.2022 Good luck Maggies, fly as one!! #MAGPIESEASON

22.01.2022 On a hot day like today, I was grateful to be working on these bulkheads inside. If you want to add another dimension to your kitchen, or any room for that matter, bulkheads are a great way to get a great effect!! Hopefully I can share the finished product with you all tomorrow.....

21.01.2022 Recently had the opportunity to travel over to Kangaroo Island for work, and build a new 5 bay shed, complete with dividing walls, and a mezzanine floor at either end for added storage.....as you all know, it doesn’t matter how big the shed is, it can never have enough room for storage!!!!

21.01.2022 Sweating it out in a bathroom with a small tile/grout restoration today......!!! Hot and humid, but wouldn't have it any other way. If your grout in any wet area of the house is cracked or looking old, feel free to contact me and get the job done

21.01.2022 End of week 2 at the Big 4 Caravan park, Blanchetown and it's really starting to take shape Just over a week to go, and a big week it will be to get the job done. Flooring will be finished tomorrow, new Kitchen and finishing of paint jobs is going to have the place looking spot on!

20.01.2022 Another backyard Verandah bowled over this weekend. If you need a bit of extra shade to entertain in the backyard, these verandah's are great on s budget, and look fantastic!! Give us a call.....

19.01.2022 Recent little project we completed in Renmark for one of our loyal customers looking to add a little bit of wow to their tired kitchen. For this we used laminae floating floors 8mm Black butt Planks, layed over a water resistant underlay. The Black butt colouring teams well with the original colours in the room, and adds a bit of class to the room! feel free to call for a quote.

19.01.2022 It’s that time of year again, when the cooler weather creeps in, and we start cranking up the wood fires again! It’s a great feeling to come home to at night But when was the last time you had your chimney flue cleaned?? Without a thorough clean at least every few years, soot builds up. Causing blockages, not allowing smoke to escape! This can lead to a constant smell of smoke in the internal living areas, or worse, possible fire damage risk to the house!! Feel free to get in contact with us if your chimney requires a clean, so you can kick back and relax, while safely keeping warm this winter!! *photos of recent chimney flue clean.

19.01.2022 I would like to take this time to wish every body a very Merry Christmas with family and friends, and a very happy and prosperous new year!! I look forward to building new and exciting projects for you in the new year!!!

18.01.2022 I would do the same https://www.facebook.com/375380955810740/videos/329234897640801?metadata=nFKxfq52JoRm/4Nn+z23Bv/r1BfVXExqf5usQNkfFMyk9mlGDykBFJQSVJ0dYE3Al5XgIgRGmdOfwB9h2VJ66Mw6&sfns=xmo

18.01.2022 The Winter weather is well and truly upon us.....and who doesn’t love a nice warm Fire?! but, who has thought to give their chimney flue a clean?? For safety sake, and better results with your fire. Give us a call and we can give your chimney flute a clean.

18.01.2022 It was a sad day on Saturday saying good by to the old girl!! My first work ute when I was starting out. She just kept powering through load after load, job after job no questions asked!! Great work horse, I'm glad to see it go to a good owner.

18.01.2022 With work views like this, it's easy to want to get to the job site early and pick up the tools! If you have any damage from the recent floods in the Riverland, give me a call and I'm happy to give you a quote.

17.01.2022 I could not be happier for such a great bunch of blokes!! Well deserved fellas

17.01.2022 Just back from another big work adventure. Complete build of 2 sheds over at Yorketown. The team faced tough conditions, but came through with the goods!! if you are looking for a new shed big or small, feel free to contact us for a free quote.

17.01.2022 Well it has been a very busy few months leading into Christmas, hence the lack of posts and updates. But if you are looking at giving yourself a late Christmas present in the form of house reno's, pergolas,decks, or any other odd job to spruce up your house in the new year give me a call. I still have time available through February

16.01.2022 Saturday August 31st the Waikerie Football Club will be hosting the Riverland Football League 2nd Semi Final..... If you can be of any assistance during the day... in the canteen, bar, dishes duty or steak hut please get in contact with Sue Miller or a committee member today!! Go the Maggies!

16.01.2022 Reward for effort! The retaining wall is coming up nicely. Now time to finish off the the Stratco fencing and we are done

15.01.2022 A recent retaining wall completed for a very happy customer last week. For this one the customer chose to go with Ridgi - Reinforced Concrete Retaining Walls for the 600mm high wall. And IronBark chosen sleeper. As you can see the profile of the timber look really matches the colour and landscape of the Australian native garden it surrounds! really has lifted the look and energy from the tired permapine wall previously there. If you are interested in something similar contact us for a quote. It was a pleasure working with the Ridgi products.

14.01.2022 Another job finished, and another very happy client after finishing a total ceiling repair in two of their bedrooms!! If your ceilings are starting to droop, or you have suffered water/storm damage recently feel free to give me a call for a quote or to get the job done right

13.01.2022 Been busy preparing all the formwork ready for an early morning pour tomorrow. Widening the current paths, as well as extending a few more. Fingers crossed for good weather!

13.01.2022 I really think I need to get me this shirt!!

12.01.2022 Would like to say a very special welcome to the newest edition to the DS work force!! She goes ok and a big thank you to Greg from Flight motors for all his help.

12.01.2022 Looking to make a room in your house a little more fancy?? Check out the bulkheads I have just finished installing for a very happy customer!!

12.01.2022 Stay tuned......Big things happening at the Big 4 Caravan park, Blanchetown. Renovations are on the way on a couple of tired looking cabins. I look forward to sharing the results very soon. Going to look a million dollars

11.01.2022 Well, thank god for my work lights as I work late into the night!! Would have needed a lot of candles to get the job done tonight otherwise!

11.01.2022 Another day sweating it out in +40 degree heat....feels like 60 on the red sand!! but quality doesn’t drop! a cold beer will go down a treat at the end of this job

10.01.2022 After a few days of hard work and elbow grease, we can finally reveal the results of this deck restoration! And as you can imagine, the home owners were wrapped!! This poor tired, old deck has had very little TLC for a number of years....except more and more coats of decking oil (any old stain or oil), and completely lost its original looks. But after a thorough sanding, followed by a clean using Cabot's Australia everyday deck wash, before 2 Coates of their natural decking oil, this deck has got its vibrant looks back

10.01.2022 What a difference a day makes..!!! This front porch started the day feeling old and tired, but by the end of the day with its new wheels, comes away with its youthful looks again we used the @ekodeck ironstone decking lengths for this job. They definitely grab your attention feel free to contact us for a quote.

10.01.2022 We are now closed for the Christmas holidays, returning mid January, And would just like to take this time to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a fantastic, and exciting new year!! Thank you all for your loyal support throughout 2016, and look forward to delivering many more home improvements in 2017.

10.01.2022 Well, to say it's been a big weekend in preparation and an even bigger day of pouring would be an understatement! But we got there in the end, and got a great result!! Huge thanks to Ben Yeomans for all his back breaking work. Couldn't have done it without you

10.01.2022 Recent fence build completed this week at Sunlands, just out of Waikerie, South Australia. Unfortunately I forgot to take a before shot of the fence we pulled down, but it is clear to see the difference the new 1800mm Stratco post and rail fence has made to the property in both looks and privacy.

10.01.2022 You can always guarantee 3 things in life......Death, taxes, and it being super hot weather when I have to build a shed or other metal structure!!!

10.01.2022 Had the pleasure of building this little beauty of a pergola in Waikerie last week. And the happy customer was excited to test it out while the weather is still warm and sunny. What sets it apart from a standard pergola is the full Polycarbonate heat Resistant sheeting (Ampelite HR Pearl Ice) used for the roof cladding, combined with Ampelite Twin wall flat polycarbonate cladding in the fable ends, to maximise the Australian conditions. Allowing plenty of light in, whilst minimising heat. Making the perfect Barbie spot for a summer afternoon! If this is something that appeals to you feel free to contact me for a no obligation quote

09.01.2022 Very excited that my new Builders signs arrived today fresh in the post! Can't wait to start getting them up around the place.....keep your eyes peeled for them

09.01.2022 Thank you to these 2 young lads from the local high school who have spent the last week doing work experience and hopefully learning a thing or two about the building game! Adam and Dillon did a great job all week, and were willing to give everything a go! The lads were proud of the saw bench they made

08.01.2022 Get around it people!! Keep me busy

07.01.2022 Getting ready to deliver some children a very special Christmas present, custom made by DS Building Home Maintenance. Now I can see how excited Santa must get!

06.01.2022 Had a fun day getting to play on my big boys toy, the Dingo digger as we plow through this retaining wall. Half done, half to go. But coming up very nicely I must say. Need something similar, feel free to give me a call for a no obligation quote.

06.01.2022 Another job recently finished for a very happy Customer. New kitchen cupboards, with solid timber bench tops and splash back adds a fresh modern look

03.01.2022 Been working hard in the heat the last few days on a rustic timber shed, made from mainly recycled materials. Including a hardwood panel feature wall!! Hopefully will have pictures of the finished product in a few days time!! But here's a sneak peak....

03.01.2022 Excited to share a Recent Kitchen renovation we have just completed, and with a lot of planning managed a quick turn around time too! It was only a narrow space, but with a clever layout have managed to make more floor and cupboard space. With great features like stainless steel appliances, teamed with crisp white subway tiles from Beaumont Tiles it really is a brighter, and more inviting space!! Feel free to contact us for a free no obligation quote. thanks to our friends at Salter Quality Kitchens Sam Feist Electrical Services for their help. it’s great to team up with other local trades to achieve great results.

02.01.2022 I know it’s late in the day, and a very different Easter Sunday than we are all used too.

And we can’t wait to see you all soon. Take care all

Give me a call and I can have it looking like a brand new wet area with a grout restoration. Great way to add value to the house!! Give me a call, or contact me through my Facebook page!!

02.01.2022 Not a bad place to be working on a Friday with a view of the river like this!! My job does have its perks sometimes

02.01.2022 First job for the new year finished this morning before it gets to hot if you are looking for a way to give your outdoor space some privacy, without feeling closer in, the EziSlat fence is the way to go. With the powder coat finish it’s a smooth product. Feel free to contact me for a quote
