Scrubba dub dub

We just bought a new laundry tub to go with my new front loader :)

The old tub was old and flakey, but not entirely the only reason for the the upgrade...

So we did have a top loader until I harped on enough at gaz to buy me a new front loader. All the cool kids have them and so he was convinced. Until we got home and hadn't considered the left opening door was going to mean we couldn't use our bifold doors any longer. I was definitely not going to ditch my new machine for closed doors so the only next solution was a slim line tub. So $400 later and we have a solution. Whoooop!

Manhole and ceiling = slightly warmer

Yep that would be my new laundry ceiling. Only got finishing motivation after half of winter went by and we got sick of the freezing freeze just helping itself into the house from the ceiling. Whoop one degree warmer.

New manhole

Looks swarve! Good hubby... And now for the bats back into place and the jib on! It's freezing!

New boards...

Kitchen/laundry conversion is shaping up baby!

WHOOOP. Nothing to say... but.... look my fridge now has a home.... finally!

Demolition!

We did have a ceiling in our laundry. A really crappy falling apart one. We'll not anymore.. Gaz did a good job of smashing it down - foot first!


This was all very fun, UNTIL, The old woolen spray insulation that was all settled down underneath the pink bats came snowing down. We had a full drop sheet between the kitchen and where it was falling from.. but the kitchen got absolutely covered in grose old 50 year old dust.


So i did some mega dusting.. and some more... and even now its calmed down a bit each day there seems to be a new layer settled on the bench. Hygeine at its best. I have given up.

How convenient!

A certain BUILDER GLEDHILL returns from his overseas venture... and what do you know????


WHERES MY LAUNDRY GONE???

This of course is part of the major plan to increase the kitchen space by recessing fridge & oven kitchen units back into our oversized laundry.
Quite handy having someone around who actually knows what they are doing! I thought i was getting fast at this buildery stuff, but Mr Gledhill has put things into perspective around here. I now have a broom in my hand and am on lunch duty.

No Complaints here though! Thanks CODY!!!!

Ps. Need french doors asap. Buggers want $1400 at the building recyclers! Cant afford that luxury.. so Sheets of ply boarding up the giagantic hole in the back of our house it is.
