LeeM Posted 26August, 2015 Report Share Posted 26August, 2015 Bit of a win for the missus today She got made redundant 3 months ago as an executive assistant in a Civil engineering firm (we really didn't need that!), and undertook a 6 month course in Intellectual disability and aged care, which she has wanted to do for 15 years, but got stuck in clerical jobs that she hated. 4 weeks into some voluntary work, she has made such a positive impact on the residents and staff, that they have offered her a casual position which she is told will lead to a full time position when she completes her course.Very proud of what she has achieved in such a short time ANF, StevepGT3, Chris-p and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 5September, 2015 Report Share Posted 5September, 2015 After 18 months of weekends renovating 2 bathrooms and a toilet I laid the LAST tile today. Light at the end of the tunnel moment. ANF and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 5September, 2015 Report Share Posted 5September, 2015 I'm not affiliated with Laminex or anything related to them. Just posting this for your information as an alternativeI'll be using Laminex 'Aqua Panel' for my bathroom after the 912 is finished.Easy job, just 2400 x 900 or 1200 poly sheets (cut to requirements with a jigsaw blade where required), circles of silicone onto the existing tiles, some 9mm alloy U channel on the floor to slot them into, 'T' joiners in white or alloy finish, job done. One panel with no cutting, 5 minutes installation Reckon my bathroom will take 8 hours tops to line the walls I've used it to do a splashback in my old unit above the kitchen sink. Quoted $2000ish in glass. Cost me $110 plus a tube of clear silicone and 10 minutes, and 'Metaline' product for behind the cooker For those that think outside the square and are doing a reno (bathrooms, laundries, kithcens, feature walls anywhere in the house), they are fire rated Laminex panels that are basically poly plastic sandwiched with 3mm aluminium sheet available in all sorts of colours. Great stuff and a LOT less hassle than tiling or paintingMetaline.

Harvs11 Posted 5September, 2015 Report Share Posted 5September, 2015 8 hours to line a bathroom....now ya tell me! Wife used to work for Fletcher Group (Laminex's big bro.) The executive decision was to use ceramic tiles. Who am I to argue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 5September, 2015 Report Share Posted 5September, 2015 Hahahaha, sorry mate. It's a small bathroom if thats any consolationHer ladyship tries to tell me tiling would be better. Yeah probably, but you won't be the one doing the job with buggered knee's, so Aqua Panel it is!I've already cut some 3mm MDF panels as a template (she doesnt know that though) so it will probably be quicker than 8 hours. I really like the Metaline product. Have been told that a lady lined her whole house with the stuff. Dare say that wouldve been rather expensive!
