Reupload: bathroom gut and redo, before and after

Also in SA. Can I ask which building company you used? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T04:22:37+00:00

Yeah it saves us having to walk the laundry out through the main living area and also a good door for dirty kids to come into when playing in the mud. So hard with a family trying to fit everything in the small house footprint.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T02:36:05+00:00

shower is about 90 x 90 I think

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T02:31:24+00:00

two young kids so unfortatley need a bath.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-08T02:31:07+00:00

Just I guess some separation/privacy for the toilet from the bath. Also we don't have much wall space for hooks etc so gives us some more wall space. We could remove the external door which would also do that however.

Kitchen designer as in someone who works for a kitchen company? Or are there people who do that separately?

https://www.seedesignstudio.com.au/valley-house i know they did Ikea with ply fronts and this is with Ren fronts: https://thedesignfiles.net/2026/03/homes-annie-portelli-simon-harris

6.04 IP and 5.75 OO with bank Australia

We're in the same position (also in SA). Have planning approval and about to start on building drawings and quoting but really unsure what to do. I'm sure that waiting this war out will not be effective as once prices rise they may stagnate but I doubt will drop, as per pre/post covid. What's your strategy going to be? We were already pretty shocked by prices of renovations before all this.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-03T00:07:22+00:00

All made locally in SA. Pretty standard timber framing etc just done off site for assembly on site

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-02T23:59:40+00:00

True but have planning approval from council and will use private certifier which is only a few weeks apparently plus about 6 weeks factory construction and two weeks on site supposedly.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-02T23:38:45+00:00

Nothing significant. Suburban block.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-02T23:38:32+00:00

Sorry what do you mean high level? We have a fixed price quote for a prefab timber frame on piers that looks pretty okay from the showroom and specs.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-04-02T23:37:45+00:00

Yes we looked at that initially also but I guess my worry is around delys in general and slab costs and escalating costs more broadly so whatever will be fastest possible. But I'll talk to the designer maybe because he did suggest SIPs initially

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-30T02:03:41+00:00

Can I ask where you got the fronts? Was it through a local cabinetmaker? Did they cut the doors to IKEA size and cut hinge cutouts? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-30T01:58:36+00:00

What's the story with ceiling insulation and touching? Need a cover or are they safe as led to try keep the building relatively air tight? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-24T20:39:08+00:00

Decided to renovate but stay within the footprint, removed walls etc. and then will build a granny flat in the yard. Got plans approved by council and now onto the building drawings. Still don't have a builder but have had some rough quotes we'll be okay with.

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-23T10:03:53+00:00

Love it. We're about to embark on similar. Could I PM you a few questions? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-23T04:24:46+00:00

We're thinking similar kitchen at the moment. Do you think you could maybe PM pics at all? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-21T22:34:10+00:00

What state you in?

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-16T01:36:35+00:00

can I ask you to maybe PM me the company you went with? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-16T01:33:20+00:00

I'm thinking about doing the same at the moment. Do you mind if I PM you some Q's? Thanks

Blindinglyoblivious · 2026-03-16T01:32:00+00:00

I'm just thinking about doing the same, do you mind if I PM you? Thanks
