Well it’s been a couple of months in the making but we’re almost there with the laundry. Here’s what’s been done up until now:
Fixed up the rotting window. Removed the tiles. Installed new cement sheet tile underlay. Installed cement sheeting on one of the walls. Removed the old toilet and replaced with a new toilet. Had a plumber come and move the position of the old taps. Removed the bottom half of the masonite walls and replaced them with dado boards (wood panels which match with other areas in our house). Installed wood trim at the top of the dado boards.
Over the course of last week I painted the dado boards, the wood trim and the walls. Look at it - all fresh and nice:
On a recent trip to Sydney we went to Ikea to get some bathroom accessories and the other day Tim installed a new Grundtal toilet roll holder and a Grundtal shelf above the toilet to hold things like rolls of toilet paper and air fresheners and I might put a little plant up on the shelf at some stage.
Today Tim started laying the tiles. Here he is gettin’ jggy wid it :)
I got the tiles from a place in Sydney (Classic Tiles). It turns out cheaper to buy them from Sydney and have them transported down to Tassie than it is to buy them in Tasmania. As you can see, the tile is a sort of hexagon shape which reminds me of honeycomb, which is fitting considering that we are going to start bee-keeping in the summer*.
Now all that’s left to do is: finish the hexagon floor tiling (Tim is about a third of the way through), tile the window wall (shown below in its curent cement sheet state), re-install the laundry tub, buy a new clothes dryer and a new washing machine, vent the dryer outside and move my Ikea storage system from its current temporary spot in the sunroom to in here so that we can finally have a proper place to store all our towels and bed sheets.
* Just kidding about the bee-keeping.
