Stick to what you know..

So after weeks of waiting for plumbing to be installed or decided on or even remotely considered I have moved on. Very touchy subject...

Container One, Wall Two: Kitchen/Laundry.
With the back bathroom wall frame installed and a hold on any form of progress I figured I'd just build the second wall to keep me moving and avoid a blow out of emotions (I'm not pleasant when grumpy). This wall is the back of the cupboard that is to house the laundry and plenty of storage. It opens out into the bathroom and will also hide my sliding door cavity. Simple wall with a door cavity tacked in right? So turns out I'm wrong, but I guess I hadn't quite explained my self well and this wasn't realised until we're at Gay's (hardware store) and dad's trying to read my diagram. An hour or so later Gay's man and dad have sorted it all out and I swipe the credit card. Lunch time!

Did I mentioned we borrowed a nail gun? I wasn't doing this hand nailing thing EVER again, I could hardly use my hand/wrist section after the last wall. Back to the wall..

The wall from the kitchen will be an antique sliding door flush up to the wall which will be finished in either a wall of glass tiles or the regular cladding that will line the rest of the kitchen/dining area. Internal decorative finishes change as often as my eating habits! Once opened the door will lead into the modern bathroom complete with rustic bespoke vanity unit, toilet, free standing shower, and huge sliding cupboard doors. The large floor to ceiling cupboard will have a built in bench, room for the washing machine, hanging space and some shelving. This will also be my closet until my WIR is built (container two).

With dad on the drop saw, nail gun, measuring and planning, the "apprentice" was free to start restoring the antique door. The frame went up in no time and I'm feeling positive and motivated again! The cupboard frame is still yet to be built, but we have the supporting wall and the sliding door in and they are the hard parts! I'll work on the cupboard framing tomorrow and hopefully have it completed by the end of the week.

Looks small, but this is just under 2.5 meters wide.

The door - before I mess with it. Couldn't walk past the lead lighting, so beautiful!

Still waiting on the plumbing before I can start tiling and finishing off these spaces, but I feel that now the bones are in that once the plumbing is completed then it's all pretty easy from there!
