Well – lots of action today at the site and around the town.
The final windows were delivered and installed, building inspector signed off, hebel guys mounted battens, sparky finished most of pre wire, Red Dwarf finished pre pipe. The storm watere was done yesterday which meants asump in the back bit and windows for the old house that open onto the back section were planned. The windows in the link were installed yesterday and it is going to be a great sun trap which may well feed warmth to the old house. Plans for tree ferns in a garden out back took another step in the imagination.

Meanwhile in town months of research came to fruiton.
1. I settled the kitchen design ( pics coming soon) . Ongoing battle over the undersink cupboard was settled with a $60 toe kick pedal. I have transformed the colour palette to light and teh ever patient Steve and I spent the good part of an hour minutely disecting shades of putty, irish cream and designer white to get the precise colour for the bottom cupboards.
2. On to Red Dwarf and selected a heated towl rail from the, again, ever patient, Michelle.
Chat to Doug about whether the toilet will fit …
3. On to Spazio Casa ( turn off the music with the wee off icon) where Angela and Gary finally extacted some hard earned $ for an oder of floor wood. I came home with a botte of wine and a tile option for the bathroom.
4. Taps … I don’t like any taps I have seen. They all are obesessed with little stick handles, have odd try hard designs … maybe I should just design my own.
A visit to a bathroom reatiler yesterday was ecuational – everything we think would be obvious is out of the ordinary : two mixers for to showers turns out to be an odd request! The solution is a worka round – converting one mixer designed for two shower heads to work two shoers .. but we have to have teh same temperature which defeats the purpose. Somebody is missing something!
Still.. light emerges at the end of the tunnel….
