Although I'd like to know who lays slate over perfectly good hardwood? Crazy!!

I am curious though, have you added in insulation? It looks like it's a single brick home. Re: Scott And Kylies 1970s Reno 14Oct 09, 2013 9:25 am Yeah only single brick. We would like to add insulation but cant afford it just yet with it been our first home and all the reno's costing a heap.. new furniture.. On the wish list for sure down the track, think we would top up the roof insulation and under the floor boards first. Most the cold air seems to come from under the house through the floorboards we think Only small area of the house had the plaster ripped off too, redoing the rest of it too would of also added up I think.

Tiles are inexplicably really big in our area - most places we looked at were tiled throughout (including bedrooms, WHY) + concrete lawn. Love the restored windows. And I'mma need to know where you got your laundry cabinets from. How much did they set you back? Re: Scott And Kylies 1970s Reno 16Oct 09, 2013 9:56 am We put insulation under our floorboards (highset house), it's made a big difference. Re: Scott And Kylies 1970s Reno 17Oct 09, 2013 10:27 am WesternFront And I'mma need to know where you got your laundry cabinets from. How much did they set you back? The cabinets and benchtop we just got from Ikea, sink and taps are from Masters. I think the cabinets and bench top cost us around $700 all up, the bottom left cabinet is a pull out one so can hide your laundry basket in there. You can get cheaper fronts and bench top too which would knock off a couple hundred, cheaper ones still look nice. Pretty easy to install too, just need to add some noggins in the wall to hang the top cabinets off, cabinets are super easy as they are just 4 sides and doors clip on. All up the laundry cost us about $1300 including waterproofing, tiles, plaster, timber, plumber, cabinets, benchtop, sink, taps and beautiful new timber door (Installing it today!)
