Had to put on the tabs and spout of the bath myself. All other tabs the tiler did but he did not have those.
The tiling is done and now the shower screen has to go in. Rang up and they will come and measure for the screen.
Afterwards I will paint the laundry and bathroom. Want to change the colour on the skirting and architraves. Have now estapol. It is difficult to paint because it is so smooth. You have to sand it back, which is a big job. Made some enquiries and got the solution from Wattyl, I believe they are also the manufacturers of Estapol. There is ESP (easy surface prep), you paint it on after 5 minutes you wipe it off and then you can paint it after 90 minutes. Have done the painting on and wiping off.
Found in the carport loads of paint, we got that a couple of years ago, of a friend.
Have opened one tin and there is acrylic in it which is good for the outside and the pergola. The colour is cream.
Bought some timber from Bunnings for my pergola. Asked it to be delivered on Thursday afternoon after 1 pm. Got it just before I was to leave home for selling tickets in Jimboomba. The driver rang from the end of the road, could not find the house. Checked the delivery, signed and left. The driver unloaded the truck and left the timber at the back of the house.
Now I am painting the timber for the first time. It soaks up the paint. It is acrylic paint and I dilute the paint so it is easier to paint and it covers better. After that is done the pergola can be build.
Discovered today that the bricks around the carport poles are cracking. Know the answer. There was moisture in the soil when the concrete and brickwork was done. Has not been raining lately and the soil is drying out, the concrete and brickwork are adjusting to the conditions. Should have done it when the soil was dried out. Less chance for cracking.
