Here’s a bit of history. Built in 1842 Sugar Mill is the oldest industrial building in NSW! This original sandstone mill on a Cook River was converted to apartments about a decade ago. We were asked to repaint it.
Getting access was the challenge! The rear yard is surrounded by retaining walls and stairs. To get here 8.8tones and 22m tall boom-lift we had to think creative. We booked a huge 9tones crane to carry boom lift over the fence and the retaining wall into the yard!
And then there was a lawn... We were told us not to worry about. Residents expected it to be ripped by a boom lift and planned to replant it after painting is done. But we built a board track under boom lift wheels to protect the lawn. It’s was harder then it looked. 8.8tone boom-lift was easily smashing even thickest boards. But we are very proud that glass and paving was left undamaged!
