The sinkhole outside my wall.

Completed in time for Thanksgiving.

 

(What it looked like before)

Now all that needs to happen is hang every sheet.

The half-tiles have been installed under the windowsill and the glass tiles around the perimeter have been put up. By the way, this glass color pattern was discontinued 2 years ago, so sayeth the local tile store, so a complementary yet different color scheme has been procured to occupy the inside surfaces.

Before and after. A paint job for the room is planned, and a new floor is probably in the cards at some point, too.

Shredded carpet. A busted doorframe. Ruined paint. Just the cost of doing business. Taken August 28, 2004.

2 days and 3 gallons of paint later, the kitchen and living room have new colors!

The hall bathroom in our 1983 house needed a little facelift, and while it's still not ideal, it's miles better than it started out!

These are the hooks on the back of the bathroom door. It being a small room these hooks needed to be used to hold towels, but the towels slid off the hooks every time the door was opened. Very frustrating. Since this living arrangement is temporary we didn't want to put any money into fixing this small trouble, and the answer was OXO clips found in the kitchen section of shops. The tips of the clip have rubber, which holds onto the largest bath sheet with no trouble, and the rubberized holes in the handles keep the clip from sliding off the hook when the door is opened.

 

They are on this page at the OXO site, the Magnetic All-Purpose Clips. They offer larger clips as well, cool

Cheddar is inspecting my work. I had to take up two rows when he alerted me that the "virgin blue" column on the right had slipped a little. It's all good now.

 

Now, to move the fridge and continue into the kitchen...

with all the new furniture and rug

Saw a cute kitchen on Apartment Therapy and next thing you know we are at the paint store. Procured supplies at 3pm Saturday, finished at 6pm Sunday. Now...winez.

Not glamorous... but hey, it's a finished laundry in a basement.

Now maybe Bis won't mess up the rug every time she tears through the living room chasing whatever it is she chases.

72/365 - Oh ya know, who needs to sleep anyway?

Inspired by how nicely the fan in the livingroom went up, I'm going to replace the light in my office (10'x12' room that faces the sun so it gets really warm really quickly even on overcast days or in the middle of the night), which is one of those things contractors buy for $5, with a lighted fan.

 

It's very nice that Harbor Breeze also has replacement light kits, so that the fru-fru weak lights that come with the fan can be upgraded to actual lighting. I'm also replacing the utility box because somehow I don't think that the fixture-holder in the ceiling which was mounted in 1959 is being held in place by anything sturder than two threepenny nails. This fan weighs 8kg, which isn't heavy by fan standards but exceeds the rating of the existing box. I also got a new switch that can control both the light and the fan in one plate so I don't have to cut a hole in the wall for another switch. (And they charge for that perk. A second gang box, switch, and switchplate would cost 1/5 of this one double switch.)

 

Installation next Tuesday.

Painting the bathroom walls today, even though we've tropical-storm-induced cloudbursts coming through every so often.

 

The shade looks darker/better on the walls than it does on my nails.

Travertine is the most popular choice of natural stone pavers in Sydney. As travertine is in the limestone family, it is perfect for use outdoors. Furthermore, if you have been overseas you would have seen that travertine is commonly used everywhere. On iconic monuments, building facades, pathways and even streets – it endures the test of time. Travertine becomes more beautiful with age and in fact lasts for centuries. You also can use travertine pavers in alfresco areas, for balconies, pathways, around swimming pools and for pool edging or bull nosing. Don’t forget travertine tiles and pavers need to be sealed to protect and preserve their natural beauty. So why not check out our range of sealers and cleaners. Then you can enjoy your stone with minimal maintenance.

Quite a contrast from the last picture of the basement, eh? It helps that I hired a company to do the drywall work. It probably would have taken me until next year, and it wouldn't have been as good.

Nothing lines up right. I may need new plumbing in the toilet to use my new water-saver flusher.

Nice looking home improvement shop in Yogya.

Purdy. Just don't look down where I'm standing because this room needs another 25 tiles to finish it. ;-) Trim around the base of the walls comes next.
