    One thing to be aware of with this toilet is that the cistern is smaller than many older styles. If you aren't retiling then you'll probably be left with the old screw holes from the old cistern sitting above the new cistern.
    We didn't retile when we installed it but the holes are just cosmetic and I'll live :p

    Don’t leave it too long @bob shovel. I have this going cheap if it fits and you’re interested. It’s 11 yrs old. If it doesn’t go soon I’ll stick it in the garden as a pot stand. caroma leda 4a wf cc pan 686026w - I broke the cistern

    +1 for blindonline.
    They're cheap but have never had any issues with quality/fit.

    Haha the best part of an ensuite reno is you shut the door and it's no longer there! .... but unfortunately a wife never forgets. I have until Christmas to get it done

    Just putting my 2cents worth in that I reckon it's worth changing the bathroom and laundry. People have no imagination. They expect wet areas to be up to date.

    Bunnings stuff is not bad.
    Not sure I'd recommend who did our pool fence. They came good in the end after 4 visits after installation.

    Just scored 2 glass frame-less showers from Ross Auctions $170 each, a good place to keep your eye on if your in Perth and looking for bargains.
    Also getting some prep work done in the garage before the reno starts painting the skirting. IMG_3974.JPG IMG_5549.JPG

    Anybody missing some tiles ? Got home today to find 23 boxes of tiles on my door step. Then two hours later a truck trying to deliver cabinets, toilets and sinks to my house :eek:
    Reno starts Monday but somehow I get some another tile company delivering tiles, and Harvey Norman Commercial trying to deliver cabinets, toilets, and sinks. IMG_3596.jpg

    Will be nice enough for my next Reno if nobody claims them from my front door.

    Australia Post just delivered $700 worth of chairs into my neighbours garage and shut the door. Lucky I have been nice to him so he let me know immediately.

    Bunnings bargain, early mornings Saturdays great timing after a display change over.

    Reno due for a start tomorrow morning with the demolition of the kitchen and bathrooms. Cheap child labour organised with the daughter at $10 an hour after long negotiations.:cool: IMG_0190 2.JPG

    11 hour day
    2 walls one kitchen and 2 bathrooms all stripped.
    1 Skip filled another one dropped off for tomorrows final clean.
    Good news with both the stud wall and bulkhead not as much ceiling damage as I anticipated. Need to find a ceiling fixer to patch 3 small holes and a paint ridge from the dividing wall.

    Maybe you should get Rob who did your duplex ceiling/wall fixing to do it?
