Yay!! Linen cupboard installed!!

Finally - I have a linen cupboard - you can see my mirror cabinet too. So nearly there.... I have also put down my deposit for my kitchen today - about an 11 week wait - so about late July I should be cooking with gas!

Lucy's cat door blocked off!!!




Before


My bathroom has been started today.... Lucy, my cat used to be able to get in and out of the house through a space between the wall and floor... Not anymore!!! Today, the toilet and basin have been removed and the new corner shower cavity has had the first layer of waterproofing. They were kind enough not to remove the old shower, so I would have something over the weekend. They have also installed a new cavity sliding door, as the old door really intruded on the space (The bathroom is about 2.2m x 2.3m)




In the coming week or so, my bathroom will have...
  • new floor, ceiling and wall lining
  • new back to wall toilet - position is being moved to where old shower is
  • new louvre windows to replace existing casement windos
  • tiles to floors and walls to window height
  • new taps and rail shower
  • wall hung vanity basin with mirror wall cabinet
  • linen cupboard
  • downlighting
  • extractor fan

New roof!!!


The new roof and gutters were finished two days ago....YAY!!! No more worrying about when it rains or the wind blows too much!!! The roof colour is Colourbond Dune and the gutters in Colourbond Woodland Grey.

Gutters are off and then it rains!!!

I had the roofing guys take off my gutters yesterday, so I could get the fascia boards painted before the new roof and guttering goes on. Then it decides to rain (heavily!!) and now water is leaking in through one of my lounge room windows :( ...... Not my wisest decision ever.

However if things dry up the painter will be coming in four days and hopefully the roofer a day or two later. I have chosen Colourbond Dune for the roof and Colourbond Woodland Grey for the gutters / fascia boards. Hopefully no more leaks next weekend!!!
