Hi Jen
Great pics
Just noticed that the water heater is in a kitchen cupboard. I have found that this is the worst place for them and will always try and relocate them. Generally what we do is install them in the laundry, high on the wall. Don't know how you are for space but worth doing as invariably they leak and ruin your kitchen cupboard and also encoarage cockroaches with the heat.
With the plumbing for the shower you can drill through the slab and install plumbing in the cavity that is effectively the ceiling for the bathroom below. You know the neighbours that were complaining. I have relocated basins and showers in this way without a problem, but remember that wiring and plumbing also runs in the slab so need to take great care as to where to drill the new access holes. So far I have been lucky.
Cheers
In total - all those pics covered just under 2.5 days of work - everything done by Geoff and myself with the help of his parents - except of course the "7am hour of hell" contribution by the builder to secure/move the structural supports. Of the entire reno so far - that hour was by far the worst for me as I literally felt sick thinking of how mad the neighbours would be!!
I hope my pics help give some insight into a reno - as performed by TOTAL NOVICES
Cheers,
Jen
Do my eyes decieve me or do I see someone using a log splitter as a sledge hammer?
I'm laughing - Just checked with Geoff - and yep, you're correct Is this not the etiquette?
