Ack! It's crunch time.
There are 2 rooms in my house (lounge and study) which I wanted to do in timber (blue gum, glossy) but now I'm getting enough objections to rethink this. Is it worth the trouble?
My tiler says my floor isn't 100% flat and he has to compensate with glue, on the concrete part. On the particleboard I have to get it sanded flatter. And a carpenter is coming tomorrow to fix the squeaky panels. Lucky I have a crawl/stoop space.
People love a timber floor, and they don't love cold feet. Timber-r-r-r-rrrrrr!

Walk through #1 images
Images from the walk through #1 last thursday. Still lots to do...
Gimme some RoundUp
Water tank in place but not connected
Instantaneous gas hot water
Sigh... the front still needs an AG line and plenty of blue metal.
It looks so dirty and gross compared to the inside.
Laundry - a little dark
Downstairs bathroom (we wanted a vanity and shower as well as just a toilet)
Upstairs bathroom - the partial tiling gives it an unfinished look
Ensuite LHS
Ensuite RHS - no mirror yet because they delivered the wrong size
You can probably tell we went with a no-frills Monash, no rendering, absolute minimal tiles, plain concrete stairs.
Maybe later we'll tile the concrete - Mick and Kim's veranda images are so nice I'm very tempted! If only my stupid council didn't take such a harsh stance against garage-dominant facades we could've kept our veranda too instead of just a pokey old patio. : (
