It's what dreams are made of and nightmares kindled: Most home owners aspire to it; some take a few tentative steps and fewer still are crazy enough to go the full hog! This blog shares some of the trials and tribulations of a major redevelopment of a 1950s home through a cataclysmic transformation which retains the best of the last Century while metamorposing the property into a design classic fit for today's living.

Utility floor takes shape

Overheard conversation between "Huey" and the tiler while discussing the quality of the concrete floor screed in the utility:

Tiler: "Who did this f****** floor? Stevie Wonder?!"
"Huey", the colour fading quickly from his face: "Aaam, hmmm - we'll get it sorted and you can start tiling tomorrow."

The duff screed was removed overnight and the tiler is now hard at work completing it for this afternoon. Tomorrow, the utility units will be fitted. Well, that's the plan anyway.
