Quite a productive weekend yippeee! So it was a month or so ago that I smashed up our ugly leaking upstairs toilet. I decided to have a go at putting a new one in myself as we expect to renovate the whole bathroom in another eighteen months or so and I couldn't justify spending a few hundred calling a plumber. Taking it out was easy and boosted my confidence for the install. That was until I joined it up for a test run and it started leaking. Lucky I didn't just jump right in and cement it down. So after another couple weeks of pondering, much Googling and another trip for plumbing supplies I finally mixed up the mortar and set it down today. Never having worked with concrete before it was a bit of a guessing game but I think it is going to be ok. The real test will be tomorrow when I get Mr Smith to sit on it!
Next on the list was a picture shelf for my bedroom. I'd seen them at Ikea but I'd need to spend $40 for the length I wanted so with $10 of timber from Bunnings, some glue, a few nails and a little bit of left over paint from the garage I finally made one. Thanks to Ana White for reminding me that I can make anything if I just pull my finger out!!!
