3/4 - Tile's Have Started

It seems like forever ago that we started these extensions, but we are getting down to the final parts with the start of the Tiles going up on the walls today. It is pretty exciting seeing them happen as they make such a huge difference so quickly and you can really see an instant difference as they go up. Only 19 days until our owner builder insurance runs out, so we have to get working pretty fast to get the bathroom finished in time. So much work, so little time!

2/4 - Waterproofing

When Council has done previous certifying they told us that if we fail anything it is going to be the waterproofing of the ensuite. Turns out that they were right, as on Monday they came out the first time, had a quick look and said, you haven't done enough. That was so frustrating as the guy on the phone said the whole floor wasn't needed, just the nail holes and joins. It turns out that because we have the shower floor as part of the main room floor, and we aren't planning on putting a base in, then the whole floor is treated as a wet area. We also had to get Ian to tape around all edges and apply another two coats on top of the tape of the membrane which was frustrating for him, as he felt it wasn't necessary. Thankfully they came late yesterday afternoon and passed us, without even walking into the room!!

I have to say, the green colour of the waterproofing membrane is awesome. I think we should accessorize the bathroom with it, if only Nathan liked Green.

1/4/14 - Prize

Check out the prize I won off Homemade Kids Parties yesterday, a gift basket of party supplies. I have been watching the activities that these guys run out at Tulip's and while I would love to go, I just can't chase Maddie at the moment if she decides to run off. Hopefully I can convince someone else to try out the classes with me next term, although when I picked up my prize today it did look like the class was fairly well controlled and the play ground was all enclosed.
