My tiler has finished our upper bathroom. It looks exactly as I wanted it. I'll remember to take a picture of the finished shadow line around the door frame. I started boarding up the large opening today. I got interrupted so many times so I didn't quite finish it. I'm putting much longer days now. Basically spending day and night at the site to try to get it finished. I want to really clean up the inside in preparation for polishing. Once that's done it will be time for our cabinets!!!

I was fortunate enough that my tiler helped me pour the slab.

Our concrete polishers have been booked in for the the second week of August and then it finally time for our kitchen cabinets. Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 263Jul 24, 2016 9:50 am Wow underfloor heating there as well! How cold does Perth get? Always thought is was always hot there. You're zooming along! When is your move in date now? viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75739&p=1299716#p1299716 Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 265Jul 24, 2016 4:03 pm Yes we had left some room for extending the underfloor heating so it didn't cost much more than the initial outlay.

Will definitely follow your build! Good luck. Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 270Jul 26, 2016 9:53 pm My Ballustrade is getting welded together. I've stuck with a very simple design. It will also partly block vision of our second level from the entrance which was really important for us.

I'll be doing the storm water. Tilers will start on the guest bathroom and our concrete polishers will also get started. OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 271Jul 28, 2016 8:43 pm Our bulkhead over our future kitchen island was installed today. It hides our rangehood and aircon system. The sides will be made of aluminium flat bar. When it arrived it was 20mm too small to fit. After minor modifications it now fits like a glove. It's now waiting for me to install the range hood.

I'm using 100mm sewage pipes rather than 90mm soak well piping. Much tougher and will hopefully be bullet proof. All in all a good first day back from the flu.

OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 274Jul 28, 2016 11:35 pm Thankyou! They are porcelain 300x75 tiles. They look very genuine. - not cheap though They were one of very few tiles we could choose that were black and able to be layed in a herringbone pattern on the floor. We will also be using them in the original bathroom. I'm really thankful that we have a good tiler that doesn't mind challenges. Re: OB Project - "New vs Old" - Nedlands, WA 275Jul 28, 2016 11:54 pm They look nearly identical to the marble tiles I was looking at from Melbourne please pm me were I can get some similar ones...
