Potato Cake, potato fritter, potato scallops.

Finished, part one of a Bathroom renovation for a long time client.
A Storeroom, 2.1 x 2.0 converted into a bathroom, ensuite.
Couple of tiles under the mirror, to go.
The next stage will be, strip the existing bathroom, install a shower/bath. Existing toilet remove, install new, retile the floor, retile the laundry.


You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

Wow, tiny area to have that squeezed in!

[Fizzie]

our bathroom

Watch out - there's some bloke in the mirror taking photos of you in the shower!

Harbour master,
That looks great.
Cheers.

Fizzie,
Yes, it is a small area, more like in size to Ensuite, but it works.
I'm 6'3", 117kg, and the shower seems small to me, but I've been in motels & the showers in some of them seem small to me.
I made ours 1000x1000 when we modified our bathroom before moving in, when we first bought.

Limited by what we have. Considered knocking some wall out for about 2 min. Wife's pretty happy so all good. Open plan living, no door. Door got final coat this morning. Then on the jackhammer ripping up tiles in the laundry. Bugger of a job. That bathroom has taken 6 months. Was going to be a quick job. Ha ha
New floor, waiting for tradies was the problem.
We can highly recommend the evershower, it wasn't purchased with this in mind I can tell you.

That can't be 2019.
Is about the same prices as when I had to do smoko run as an apprentice 1990.

Gold!

I had a chuckle as well, but I can also understand what he's saying though.

Just been looking at Park Passes, for both WA & NT, for our trip next year.

WA, was able to sign up for a limited membership with RAC & buy an annual Senior's pass, that covers everybody in the car, for $40

NT, each person needs a pass, not just 1 for the car, which then only lasts 2 weeks, for $30 each, or $60 annually

But that pass doesn't cover either Kakadu or Uluru! 

For them, you need a different pass, issued by Federal Parks, for $30 each for 7 days at Kakadu, & then $38 each for 3 days at Uluru / Olgas    

So WA is 1 x $40 for the year, but NT is 2 x $60 + 2 x $68 = $256!!! 

But we want tourists to come & visit

Had to smile / shake my head at 2 car rego's I saw yesterday.

One was a Ram (& I know that just about says everything right there! ) that passed me as if I was standing still instead of doing 100kph along the M1!

It was "INMYWAY"

The other car had DOAnn as it's plates (which I'd assume is their initials – thanks, Mum & Dad! ), but to top things off, it was a Kia!

Well Queensland has pumpkin scones, Vic had tater cakes..

No they don't, my mum used to make pumpkin scones at home in Yallourn ( That is in Victoria  ) I can remember them from when I was about 8 or 9 , so some " banana bender " must have stolen the recipe and passed it on to Flo 

Ps., she would have been making them for more the 10 or 15 years before that.

My Auntie was talking to Flo at a CWA meeting, & naturally, the scones came up.

Apparently the recipe came down from Flo's Grandma (in Qld! ) so it's been around for quite a while!
