Renos at home

Blinks.

Tilts head.

I guess two taps have to be in a straight line, if my geometry recall is correct?

 

At least you know straight up which one is hot and cold. Some of the fancy taps these days.. you don't know until you get burnt..

 

Measure twice,cut once??

 

No golf course here BUT I do have a 3-hole putting green

Does that rate s mention?

 

Yeah.... you sure got yourself a badass golfing setup....

 

LOL. Surely they’re the original tap fittings? They’re like the ones we replaced in our place. I thought they stopped making them in the 90’s.

 

The neighbour two houses up from us practices his golf in the cow paddock adjoining our lots. Just have to be aware of when Houdini the Bull is around.

 

We are on 5.5 acres. The previous owners used to practice their golf in the ”back paddock”.

Even 30 years later, I occasionally still hit a wayward ball when mowing on the ride-on .

 

Aren’t you looking to move into a riverfront apartment soon?

To be honest I wouldn’t want more than an acre or so in retirement. Too much work otherwise. Many retirees try bigger averages but tire of it quickly and give up sooner rather than later.

We’ve done the opposite having lived in apartments for many years prior to moving here. We owned a three bedroom riverfront apartment in New Farm (Cutters Landing), Brisbane before selling up and moving here to North Maleny. It also was a fabulous lifestyle but we wanted a change in having a go at living a productive lifestyle. Seems to have worked out quite well so far.

 

I think they are straight, but not centred. I would have gone with a flick mixer myself. Anyway, it's their house.

In regards to straight, he installed an aircon in the living room. It's just above some lovely yellow curtains and that clearly doesn't look straight.

@Nodrog - yep, reckon they are 90's taps. Why he used them idk... I guess 90's is newer than 70's though if that's any consolation?

 

@Perthguy I bet you never thought you'll ever start a thread without having to actually start it

 

Yeah, moving to a GC skyhome later this year, if all goes to plan.

We have been on our 5.5 acres for 30 years, come this July. We are ready to try something a little smaller. Also, we want something that is “lock-and-go” so we can fulfill our travelling ambitions. Acreage is certainly not L-a-G!!!

We always felt 2.5 acres was the idea size, although the back 2.5 acres did come in handy when our daughter had a horse.

 

Look at how many innuendos I missed after not being in the forum frequent enough :-/ big deck small deck, tile upstairs downstairs...

@Gockie is that tiling.... final?

 

Hi @EN710,
You're one of those weird people with an actual life!!!!! But it can't be cause you have nearly 3k posts too.
That tiling. Yep, final result.

 

It's true. I really never thought I would be able to do that.

 

I have been holding back from posting in the last couple of days, but maybe new thread about how I can DIY outdoor tile and build front yard retaining wall will come up

3k??? I always thought I was on 1.5k and still have some life

Very ... unique... tiling work, I think it'll sell a lot in the future as special feature

 

I'm a miracle worker

 

Are we still discussing renos here? ?
I painted some old light fittings recently as a temporary (permanent ) solution

 

At least he used the same colours tiles!
