New fangled gadgetry and bathroom renos??
Well i've just amazed myself!!
I unplumed my single drawer dishwasher,(a very wet job i have to say!) And have plumbed in a double drawer fisher pykle bewtie!! I have let it run the total program and had not one drip of water escaped!!!!
Plumber and rossi eat your plumber hearts out
OK, a question.....
The bathroom reno starts monday, how sorry i'll be to see the delectable brown tiles and matching bathset ensemble go, i can't begin to explain.
I have totally redesigned the space and its out with a wasted hall way and poxy linen press to have a big bathroom and small powder room (that word still makes me) fitted. (The "debate" is still raging re: what type of shower fitting to have over the spa bath, Badge cheers for you support on that last night mate 
)
Has anyone else done this type of thing before and are there any "must do's, or no no's" involved!!
AND YES!!!! before you ask, i have got a proper plumber coming in to fit everything!!

Spa bath? What's that? A can of Heinz Baked Beans half an hour before?
Having done a few bathrooms in my time (in the UK where you don't need half a dozen licences to just get on with it...) I do NOT envy you....

How come you guys aren't (so I hear) getting Monday off for Anzac Day, like the rest of us?
I've got yet another all-day meeting tomorrow (like all of the last week, which is why I've been so quiet), but then a long weekend to look forward to.
I was up at the housesite last Saturday, putting together a map of the area, to decide what goes where (water tank(s), septic system, greywater system, solar power system, garage / workshop...) Had great fun!! It's amazing how much you can fit into 10 acres! (That's the 'home paddock', before you start wondering what happened to the other 100+ acres!)

yes you're right, no piking it for us in Vic!
Think its because we get the Melbourne cup day off. I was looking in my daughters school diary and if you want SERIOUS bank holidays, Tazzy is the place to go they get and extra, eerrmm, i think it was 6 but will need to check.
Home paddock, you smug git

Sounds like Tazzy might be a good place to look at, if we have to go STNI route... It would REALLY piss me off if we had to go that far out, though - we've put blood, sweat and tears into getting and keeping this property, and we WON'T be letting it go!!!!

Ok by me. I get paid by the hour and another public holiday so soon after Easter would bankrupt me or reduce MrsB's living expenses.

they need a day off for each head I suppose.
