master bathroom work in progress:

Edited June 21, 201313 yr by silvergorilla

yup...... looking good...

ok managed to catch a few mistakes with the tiling.... I do not blame them..... after a while, you do get a little dizzy.... and its takes alot of patience dealing with the hexagon mosiac..... those tiny piece are a pain in the *** to cut...

contractor K caught another mistake in the football mosiac tiles that i missed......

i hope we did not miss anything else ....

hacking in progress... it was really fast... living/kitchen floor gone in one day!

they removed all the timber skirting as well.... not sure if we should keep them

Edited June 21, 201313 yr by silvergorilla

all walls hacked and packed for disposal by the end of second day.

super dusty... but its incredible how large the space feels right now.... wife very happy with her open concept.... :jammin:

but because we removed so many walls... re routing all the available powerpoints and switches is gonna be a BIG headache.... lots to consider and coordinate..... **** sianz....

meanwhile..... on the common bathroom:

master bathroom on track!

the white grout feels strange and we manage to get contractor K and his tile to put a layer of black grout on top..... it looks much better we think:

but it was too late to change the white grout in the common bathroom as it has already hardened and cured.... it was impossible to replace without chipping the tiles :bangwall: ...... big mistake.... i guess its something we have to live with.
