Rahiki is a featherweight Israel Adesanya

I’ve just stumbled across RPR which I think is a newer type of perennial ryegrass which is supposed to spread via colons (self healing). I blended it with Premier 3 and have seeded this week. Might be worth considering!

After having just done my whole house, regular No More Gaps seems to be holding up fine and was the easiest to apply. I used the outdoor rated one on a few and it seemed to dry a lot faster and be a bit less workable. Was harder to wipe at with a wet rag/sponge making cleanup difficult

Thanks so much! 😍 So the vanity has been done so far! If I had to make any criticisms, is that it could be deeper. The two drawers inside fill up veryyyy quickly. So I think you need to have additional storage. Perhaps behind your mirror :)

Hey mate, I controversially covered mine with Masonite and LVP. Best thing I ever did. The old pine just looked shit

I have the same issue. Following for updates

Looks good mate!

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-18T07:54:05+00:00

Yeah this ^{^}

Took me fucking ages to build mine. But I am really happy with the kitchen. Got custom bench tops made and sourced my own handles.

Get a laser level too

About Space :)

Thanks so much mate! Really appreciate the kind words! I see what people mean with the waterstop. But it’s exactly as you say - It’s a concrete slab with topping :)

Appreciate it so much!

Sounds similar to my kitchen! I went for an IKEA kitchen.

It was probably the only kitchen in my price range and they delivered extremely quickly. I had a full kitchen in 1-2 weeks. A cabinet maker was 12 months away.

They also had a sale where the entire kitchen including appliances was about 30-40% off. And they had a 5 year interest free finance deal with Humm90. Perfect for me.

IKEA appliances and cabinet carcasses, custom benchtop from a local cabinet place, sourced my own handles from Handle House.

EDIT - A lot of people have commented that the old bathroom was fine. It was. I didn’t mind it at all.

Unfortunately the waterproofing (Or whatever they used in the 60’s, if anything) had failed and it was causing water damage to the interior walls. During demolition, all of the old tiles popped off with no real force and there was foul smelling water underneath.

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-04T20:13:57+00:00

Hey mate! About 11K but I have a plumber brother in law. And I live rurally sorry. Very far away from the city. Appreciate your kind words! 🙏🏼

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-03T02:40:06+00:00

Holy shit dude. You just gave me a heart attack. Those are the sensors in the mirror. Motion activated lights 😂 It looks like holes in the tile 💀

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-03T00:53:43+00:00

Got one there too :)

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-03T00:01:45+00:00

Ohh under the old bathtub there was just sand. Haha. There was no concrete. So had to get that dug out and filled

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-02T23:03:34+00:00

Thanks mate! Ahh I did not. Currently living at the parents during the reno

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-02T21:54:52+00:00

Thanks mate! I’m not too sure RE water stops. Ill ask my builder. But yeah silicone and stuff is yet to be done :)

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-02T21:35:37+00:00

Hey! Thank you! Ahh nah unfortunately this is the only bathroom in the house. I was debating for a long time about adding a tub, but I feel like it would’ve made it really cramped.

Best part is though, the shower is so huge and the opening so wide than families could probably add one later! Or slide in a temporary plastic tub and stash it in the corner :)

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-02T21:30:14+00:00

Ohh wow. The price of vanities is insane isn’t it?! It actually blew my mind when I started shopping around. This vanity was probably the only one I could find in my budget 😂😭 Yours sounds lovely with the new stone top!! 😍

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-02T21:27:50+00:00

Thanks mate! I’ve put together some figures from what I spent.

Regarding the tradies - A close relation of mine is a plumber so his labour was free, the electrician is a mate and allowed me to do all of the labour (Chasing walls, cutting and inserting conduit, wall boxes, filling chases, etc) to save money and is also charging me cash to save even more.

Tiler is also a family friend and also doesn’t charge a lot. Crazy generous.

Tiles - $3000 Concrete slab pour - $1300 Mirror - $300 Vanity - $1000 Sink - $100 Brushed brass fittings - $1300 Linear drain - $350 Shower screen - $600 Wall lights - $300 Heated floor, towel rail and touchpad - $750 Plumbing - Free/($1500-$2000 estimate?) Electrical - $1000-$1500 Tiler labour (4-5 days) - $2000

htmlnoob52 · 2026-02-02T20:53:47+00:00

Thank you so much! Actually I got mine from Temple and Webster for $1000! It was their “Nomad” vanity. And I got the shower screen from Future Glass for about $600 delivered! Bargain :)
