Then it was three days of rather noisy hacking, a few more ripping out wardrobes, kitchens and not to mention the bathrooms.
Did I mention BATHROOMS?
The Master Bathroom
There was the wall, or what was supposed to be a wall, behind the sink area, with patchy plaster and no waterproofing. Lovely build quality.So - add a few more dollars onto the reno costs - and I had a wall, waterproofed.
Then I decided to move the loo, and the shower, and a few other things. Extra plumbing costs.
Still, I got a rather funky bathroom.
The Master Bedroom
I mentioned wardrobes as well, I think? What a novel idea, an aircon intake vent and piping and a drain pipe running through the top cupboards of the wardrobe. Had to just cover these up - too much expense to rework them. Having done that before, it eats the budget.Not the perfect bedroom wardrobe, but better than what was there before.
The Basement
Will this ever be a den? I mean, yuck.The Front Veranda and Entrance
This was under the veranda, even the front doors don't close or open properly. What a nightmare.
The Dining Room
The Kitchen: What lurks beneath!
And then the kitchen. The stuff lurking behind the cupboards was of nightmare quality.
The Basement and Den
This looked more like a damp sandpit than a games room with a glass ceiling you could stand on!
