17 Upgrade

So we needed a new plan of attack. We still were not ready to sell up the family home and move or do any serious changes but it was clear something was required to get it tenable. It was decided to blow away the current bathroom and kitchen, replacing the bath with a shower and adding a toilet into the bathroom.

Again we had great help from Faccenda Shopfitters, PC Plumbing, SA Allsparks Electrical and Marc Gould with the tiling and while it took longer than planned, the end results were a good clean finish.

Planning the upgrade gave us a new respect for a builders' skills at pulling together different trades to get a job done in a timely manner. It also introduced us to a new tool for playing with different floorplans and Smartdraw was downloaded followed by way too many hours spent playing with different options.


By January 2013 things were ready to go, new tenants were found and it was back to the long term planning.
