Amanda has many work outfits. This morning from 6:30am to 9am she was wearing purple denim shorts and a loose black T. This was Cementing Amanda. She then took a shower and changed into Carpentry Amanda featuring black sport shorts and a navy blue cotton drill shirt. Later she will change again - outfit TBC - to become plastering Amanda. We have a chest of drawers devoted solely to Amanda's work wear and today I will configure this into the design of our walk-in wardrobe.
The laundry is on it's way. We did think it would take 7 days but completely underestimated the amount of work involved, we have basically built the room from scratch. Right now we are putting in the noggings in the wall structure. The fibre cement flooring is in and Jayson has finished the pluming to this point - he'll be back when the cabinets are installed. Yesterday our neighbours Gary and Henry popped over for a sticky beak and have offered to float the cement flooring next weekend. This determines the levels and run off and as Henry is experienced in this we think it's best to wait for him to do it rather than rushing in ourselves. Before he can do this, 2 coats of membrane will be applied which take 48 hours each to cure so it would probably be late next week anyway. Thank you neighbours!
Last Thursday we chose our floor tiles - lovely Italian charcoal 300mm x 300mm on special for $28/sqm from a tile warehouse in Alexandria. We were going to go with long 600mm x300mm tiles but discovered that the bigger the tile the more difficult to install and 300mm x 300mm is the largest we should attempt.
Everyday I walk into the new laundry space and act out doing the laundry, opening and closing imaginary doors and turning on non-existent taps. It's a strange pleasure and I must go now as I have some laundry to do...
