Denali Demo and Rebuild

[Pushka]

We did get a larger basin though. The mirror cabinet is twice the size of our old one and has a power point inside for toothbrushes.

Not yet, still in box like everything else I bought.

We went to Bing Lee yesterday to make final decisions on appliances but not ordered yet as we get more points via online. Inc new blender for Mr Denali

Shutters are fabulous. So easy to control light, heat and cold. And look very special in bathrooms with a tub like that.

Hubby actually isnt a fan but agreed the bathrooms needed shutters. They will also be split so upper half and lower half can be opened differently when closed

Yes we've done the split thing and it works very well.

Just have to convince him that the bathroom is not a stage.

we have spent half of our life at the house we built.

Well done
do you paint the post and rail fencing with sump oil?

Have not done that for a while (dad has passed away, and he had the trucking business, so we had plenty of sump oil then)
I do my steps every year with oil.

I was going to ask with the new Frequent flyer points devaluation does your Ff points haul from the DDandR get you to London?

We have enough, hoping for something nice for 2025

Oh, no! You've done it all wrong, @Denali

This near me arrived on the back of 6 trucks and done in 1.5 days.

 

[Denali]

Good news, referral rebates are $2500, not $1k, so I only need 328 people to sign up

Received final inv inc the liquidated damages and referral rebates and today we had roofer on site so hopefully they've fixed what our inspector found.

 

[Denali]

Today was tiler rectification work and appliance deliveries!

Would have loved this and looked into it but I think its too cutting edge for the Sydney burbs at this stage.

 

[Denali]

Appliances installed!

The tradies also broke down and hid the boxes under rubble as I've read about appliances being stolen so Mr Denali on camera alert watch

We went with a 90cm induction cooktop and a duo oven. Apparently the oven is also a airfryer. All electric as we have panels and batteries and no gas.

At the rear, at some point, Im going to put a row or artificial plants although Mr Denali wants to have the fence painted as well

 

[RooFlyer]

No cover at all on the hot water cylinder?

No idea but our old system didnt have a cover so this is normal for us

Apparently the oven is also a airfryer

An airfyer is basically a convection oven with rapid hot air movement.

Generally for efficiency, they are of small volume; I presume it's more marketing putting what is effectively a "rapid hot air" setting into a standard convection oven.

Snoopy snoops early this morning.... haven't had random snoops other than the regular neighbour snoops for a while.

This one was looking in between the colorbond fence and temp fence gap for a while but we hit the lights and mic and said, "Can we help you?" and he walked away. Mr Denali said we should hit the siren button.



And tonight there'll be a garage fitout update as the guys are here already

This.Is.Big.Brother…. Way to go Denali

 

[Denali]

Garage fitout complete. In hindsight I would have made the work bench bigger (it's 2.4mtrs) but we can add a 900 x 2mtr cupboard to the space on the left later on.

The two guys that showed up reminded us of the old school tradie, was here all day and it looks good.

This is the $10K garage, first quote we got was $30K

Sydney is further from Antarctica than Tas.

But its a good point. I am also pondering adding a custom made insulating blanket that fits over my electric storage. Im not sure it will make any difference so Ive ordered a Milwaukee temp gun to see where all my cold/hot spots are.

$10K garage

As in the fit out cost $10K? Interesting.....
