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 :)

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
