1 Take a close look, you can see by the dark staining, just how far the water came up into the house from the heavy rains last week. |
2 With all the floor levelling going on, I hope to have stopped all the incoming water, once and for all, once I've finished the re-model. |
3 I've had to stud out the brick walls by 40 millimetres to get around the protruding concrete pillars, that hold up the house. |
4 At a later date, the window you see will get blown out, to become a doorway to the backyard. |
5 As the shower is on the scale of a Roman bath, I decided to add a shower seat from the left over scraps. |
6 I changed the glass in the shower window to laminated opaque, both for privacy and because it's the law. |
7 It took me an hour to change the glass (it takes a pro 10 minutes) but now I know how to do it myself. |
8 Ceiling batons are in, ready for the ceilings to go in. |

10 The finished seat allows women to shave thier legs in relevant comfort ..... |
11 ..... or simply close the shower door, turn the hot water on full blast, sit down and enjoy a steam shower. |
12 The window at the side of the vanity is now installed. |
13 The window was installed primarily to let natural light in. As it opens, venting is an added bonus. |
14 I recycled the storage room door frame (even though it doesn't swing the way I want it) and saved $400.00. |
