I decided that while I was waiting for the kitchen top and doors to arrive from Proform, I would begin on the bathroom so that we could have a much needed shower! Well that was about a week ago now, and things have been moving on. I finished stripping the old plaster from the walls and ceiling and got my favourite plumber in to remove the old basin and pipes.
I then bought a fair bit of aquacheck gyprock (the wet area version) and prepped the studs etc and began to line the room. Well that was days ago, and all the gyprock is in. The electrician came yesterday and fitted the new heat lights to the ceiling and mirror light on the wall above where the vanity will go(something else I have to make :)
The jobs left at this point are finish the cornices (2 done so far) and flush all the joints, and woe is me, begin the tiling (sob). I don't like tiling very much and tried to get out of it by trying to convince Nao to go for the imitation tile board from laminex or parbury's. However the cost of these boards is just crazy....about $240 for a 2.4 x 1.2 sheet. By my estimate that's about four times more expensive than tiles....just mad! So I could not even convince myself that it was worth the extra expense. I also read on a forum that the boards wear badly....so stuff that! Tiles it is...
So there ya have it, I will post some pics shortly of all the excitement.... :)
Slippery Out!
