r/AusRenovation

Check out this mess we purchased.

270mm clearance in front of toilet. Whilst it's possible to sit on the toilet with legs spread, initially getting on the throne is surprisingly challenging. I believe it's called a wall facing squat challenge.

Seems like the only options are to remove the shower screen and replace with a curtain or rotate the toilet which would involve a core drill through the floor.

Any other ideas?

Edit: Toilet waste goes out through the wall, they installed it like this so they wouldn't have to put the waste downwards through the slab. It was a cheap "reno" done to sell the house as only other toilet is outside dunny.

We cannot decide on a window colour!
When we bought the house the windows were quite a bright yellow (not original)
The white/cream we have been trialling but feel like it looks like an undercoat and doesn’t suit the moodiness of the exterior .
Anything that pulls too cool tone/gray also looks terrible.

On the right we have trialled Dulux Jasper (obviously just a rough sample paint). It looks a bit cool tone in this photo but not in real life.
I also have Jasper 1/2 strength to trial.
We prefer the look of it blending into the house and not being so stark.

The windows need to be fully restored in a few years when finances allow, so we are just trying to find something that doesn’t draw attention to the imperfections.
The bricks are reddy/plum with matching mortar. The front garden is also planted with burgundy, red, purple/plum coloured plants with Corten steel edging.

Any roofers here. Completed a new build less than 12months ago with a colorbond roof. I was installing a sensor light down the side of the house and while I had the ladder out I had a look at the lower roof. The gutter was full of dirt and sludge but also had heaps of rusting nails and staples sitting in it. After cleaning the gutter out I climbed on the roof and noticed some issues. See attached pictures. Is this worth getting the builder involved? Also would a roof inspection report be required to assess the entire roof? This is just a small part of the roof that I can access safely.
