Water Closet Renovations

We have now been in our home for 4 months and we feel settled and ready to get stuck in to our first project. The first renovation challenge... the toilet. We thought beginning in the smallest and arguably the most frequented room in the house would be a good starting point. Plus we were pretty sure that the toilet bowl that came with the house was the original one from '67...and you could tell. 


We started strong, ripping up vinyl, stripping old paint and removing old door handles and light fittings. Then the hard decisions had to be made, which colours, what type of bowl, what kind of light fitting defines you as a person? Geez. Some friends of ours described Bunnings as their Church as they always seem to end up there on a Sunday. Well, we have started a new religion, its called Mitre10 Mega. And what a fine place of worship it is. You know you go there to often when you start to recognise the cashiers and you can find stuff without having to ask one of the 345 staff members (what we now refer to as the "clergy") for directions.
