Renovations: Before: Downstairs Facilities

Our 1968 house originally stood on about 14 acres of land - not quite enough to make money but plenty of space for mucking about. The house was built by the father of the family who was a builder by trade at that time. From the layout of the house, he was plainly a very practical man. One good example of his practicality is the set-up by the back door.



Standing at the backdoor, you have a choice once you've hung your coat up - turn left for the kitchen, to drop off the eggs that you've collected or to make a brew, or take one of the series of doors on the right hand side to use the facilities.



First door on the right is the dunny.



Next up is the laundry so that you can drop off your muddy work clothes to soak in one of these fantastic concrete tubs.



And last on the right is this very utilitarian shower cubicle, just before you reach the living room, straight ahead.



I'm looking forward to re-using the stainless steel shower tray as a table for my seed trays.
