The Bedroom Ensuite renovation and bedroom repaint is completed to a usable stage after a few weeks. Just need to find the right shower curtain rail, toilet roll holder and put up the towel rail, and a few safety handles/rails, and it will be finished. Then reattach the shower once the paint has had enough time to cure properly, and start the main bathroom renovation.
Feature wall wallpaper was done earlier this year.

Ensuite - Dusky sound (purple)
Bedroom - Fitzroy (yellow)

Over the weekend I have been working from home painting a cot for my brother's newest baby who is now ready for the cot that i prepped and primered couple weeks ago, and sanding all the plaster I had previously applied during the week after the builder installed new gib and coving for me.
Plastering the joins were fun with the 3-5mm difference in thickness of the gib between old and new stuff.
Now the ensuite for my great aunts room is ready to start having some paint applied this week.

The cot is painted with Dulux Waitomo Caves.

This is my cousin Levi.
I take him round once a week to do people's lawns, and he is always looking for more lawns or waterblasting to do.
He has his own waterblaster, lawn mower and weedeater, and I provide his transport, so he is able to take away clippings aswell.

So please let us know if you have work he could do aswell

Big thank you to George for working on my trailer for me, replacing all the boards, and making the sided higher.
While I made it stand out more with Dulux Devils Pool for the plywood, and Silver on the metal frame.

Yesterday with a last minute cancelation.
I gave my dad a call and told him id have this cupboard sanded and primered by the time he finished at the motorbike shop.
So he came over and finished putting up the trims on the inside of this cupboard we moved 2 weeks ago. And put up the shelf and rail in the wardrobe.
Then I found a spare metal shelving I had and we put it together and secured it to the wall.
The carpet at the bottom shows where the walls use to be from how the cupboards was before we started.
