    Looking good. What colour grey is that? Or is that a blue?

    Looking good!
    Any fertiliser or watering for the lawn, green it up for the "extra TLC" look... And don't go chasing water falls!

    A bit of work in that brick edging.
    Did it end up being as hot as you thought?

    Paid 20 bucks for a box of "white" Bunnings tiles and this is how they compare. My dilemma now is whether to paint the lot or just leave it. Vanity isn't wide enough to cover them. 5 days to go

    Oh dear that is not white, I'm not sure that is even offshite. More cream than anything. 100 shades of white.

    I think you're going to have to paint them and the others to make them all the same colour.

    For the sake of 20 bucks and to avoiding painting I'd rip them off and try another tile

    Already got the paint which I was gonna use on the bath, it's probably the quickest solution

    Fur enough. Try painting the mismatch ones first. It might match well to existing bedding existing

    Painted the tiles tonight, looks good so far but ran out of paint during the second coat. That Rustoleum stuff starts out like water but after 5 minutes it's PVA glue. Carpet is up, underlay looks new so that's good. New carpet goes in tomorrow. Garden edging is all in, plants look crap but they'll live. Also added a lil fire pit out the back on the cement slab where a shed probably used to be, using the leftover bricks.
