Hello
I have not posted for quite a while because I have been renovating, and after spending 8 hours working for someone else and then another 8 hours working for yourself, the last thing I want to do is get on the computer. Anyway I will attach the before and after (not quite finished) photos of the formal entry. Next is the 60 sqm games room. I ran into a bit of luck which is unusual for me. A bloke at work is demolishing his house , so I got about 50 sqm of 50 year old floor boards, about 70 linear meters of jarah joists, and a 40 meter picket fence with driveway gates (2 meters high), all for nothing (except a couple of weekends of back breaking work).
I have found my biggest time waster to be using, then loosing, then spending 2 hours finding tools (I would not be a good surgeon). So far my best decision is to use liquid sandstone on anything that stays still for more than 3 seconds. I am yet to use tile paint, however I have heard its pretty good. Im sure it will make a big difference to the brown tiles I currently have.
Another tip that works, is dress up 90mm storm water piping for curtain rods, makes them look like thick expensive timber, and costs bugger all.
