Plaster work continues ..... and we have purchased tiles

Plaster stopping in progress. We have measured up for Tiles and Friday 27th July will be purchasing the tiles required for the Bathroom Wall, Floor and the Kitchen Splashback. We've estimated 6m2 for the Kitchen, 9m2 for the Bathroom Floor, and 16m2 for the Bathroom Walls.


30m2 Ceramic Tiles were purchased from West Melbourne (30cm x 30cm) and all the Grout, Adhesive and the required trowels, spacers and accessories which are required to lay them.
Just need to buy a Tile Cutter now.
We couldn't have matched the colour better if we'd tried. They suit the kitchen cabinet colour perfectly 
Cabinet Kicker has also been attached and finishes off the Kitchen nicely.

Should be fine in the Bathroom too 
Bathroom has had it's first coat
This tile is a sample that we picked up for our House. It's Porcelain and 60cm x 60cm. It's semi polished and mean't to look like concrete with imperfections and cracks. Our tile supplier suggested that after living in the Shed with a "real" concrete floor, we may not want to have the imitation concrete tile in the house. We love it, but will make a final choice and decision when we're at that stage.

Temporary Football Goals positioned by our Son. They are roughly in the Kitchen of our future Home. 

Flood Lights purchased so that work could be done even if it's dark
Part of our Toilet Suite
Believe it or not but this is an Instantaneous Electric Hot Water System. It's so small in size but requires 3 phase electricity and has the capacity to service a 2 Bathroom Apartment. Will work well in the Shed for the Bathroom and Kitchen

Have just extinguished a fire and burnt off a large heap of Boxes. Now it's back to kicking the Footy
Literally, sitting on the Fence
