Kitchen Upgrade Stains Sans

Remnants of cottage chic had to go. Last of the dado visible in the living area and hideous laminex, along with tiles past their prime were ripped out over the last holiday - with gusto!

 Before

New Stainless Rangehood (Italian Design) thanks to Ebay. A visit to our now beloved Stuart Tyrer (of Tyrer Engineering - Colac) for a beautifully made bench and splash back (also in stainless). New sink and very cool in-bench bins that Lily found on Ebay. 

 After

The Patio

After looking out on the expanse of red cement brick pavers for long enough, Lily finally had enough and started ripping them up. Numerous plans had been entertained and explored on paper, with varying degrees of consensus. This summer saw the best solution become a reality via a simple and modular solution that would break the tyranny of the rectangular verandah.

Behold the modular, circular slab. Cast in situ using tin and/or wooden molds. Each day of the summer break saw us cast three or four circles (except when it was over 35 degrees)

Chet, checking our levels

41 circles over summer, next holiday will tackle the outlying group
