    Did you remove the original floor tiles or did you lay the laminate on top of the tiles?

    Did this happen often?
    Does it coincide with the day after pay day?

    @bob shovel Did you DIY the front awning? If so, is it easy enough? I am thinking to do that on my PPOR as in the photo below too:

    I'll update my thread. For now, the job has been slowly progressing. Getting an aging renderer to render the whole house and being in the middle of winter wet season in Melbourne, we are waiting for a nice sunny day to put an acrylic top coat. Will post some photos once the render job is done. So far pretty happy with the 2 coats.
