Tiling done, toilet fitment done, paint nearly done.

Now for the cabinets, then bench top and then maybe finish off the R33 heap of shit.

Needed to do laundry before our trip to Tassy, at least the laundry is functional haha

If your wondering why some parts aren't painted it's because the cabinets are going over it. The parts in prep/prime are for the splash back tiles.

How difficult is it to get the tiles off the wall without completely stuffing up the plasterboard?

But all good things don't last, I'm back to work tomorrow. Ended up with a 2.5 contract role until our 5 week Europe trip.

A little bit of coin helps I guess.

@WantGTR more reno pics as requested, tile on tile for the floor.

Prep & Prime on and a mock of how the tiles might look.

Mate, as a  foreman working with a Tier 1 this is literally the dodgiest way to renovate a bathroom, STOP.

And before you flame me, the owner of the unit I'm renting did the exact same thing and the bathroom now leaks like niagra falls.

Please explain how you'll do an Australian Standard detail around the floor waste, oh wait you can't. Water ALWAYS gets in around & underneath and you may as well have blown a headgasket mate.

F**king stop dude, rip the existing tiles up, minimum two coat waterproof system and lay on the proper substrate. Otherwise it will devalue your property.

Never tile against tile.....NEVER, & you'll thank me later. And if you don't listen, watch in 1-2 years when your walls become soaked (and if you live in an apartment block feel the wrath of strata).

It's a laundry. I assume that he would tip water down the sink rather than straight on the floor. (or do people tip it on the floor? I don't know)

it's not a shower, it's barely going to be wet. Why wouldthe walls be ruined in 2 years?

Also it's a town house, the laundry is on a solid slab too and ground level. As Ben stated, all the laundry waste would go directly into the drain not on the floor.

If it were a shower, it would be very different :)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
