its the fiddley stuff thats annoying...

There are so many little things to tidy up - gap filling, second coat painting, switch covers to fit. its seems like we are almost there (finished) but then i need to add another little job to the list.  SO - the walls are painted, the bath and the shower are sorted.  the TOILET goes! YAH! this was huge for me as we had no toilet for a few days - ick!  there is dust everywhere but its shaping up so well - in fact I'm really happy with how its turning out.  i look back at that first demo day and think - that was just ONE WEEK AGO TODAY! its been a pretty huge week.

Today i picked up our tiles - lucky to have found some fab tiles on trademe - and got them on the bath surround before lunch time! they were a tight squeeze in the end as i had allowed an 8mm gap (which is what i would normally use on a bath surround) but these luxury tiles were 10mm - enough of a difference to be a bit of a pain - but i was happy with how i went - especially as i had to work out how to cut tiles with a masonry disc on the grinder! new skill learnt today.  working out how to get the disc off in the first place had me cursing.  then going to the hardware store to find the right disc (in the right size) then cracking a few tiles working out how to get them just right.  Well - it was actually awesome when i had them in and looking great.  Grouting happens tomorrow!
