Final touch

The builder has completed his final check and clean up and kindly installed the ‘concertina’ shaving mirror for me. I’ve had it for ages, hoping that it would fit somewhere in the new bathroom. It seems to match the art deco look.

The garage has been cleared so I can put my car in there again. Everything (minus clutter) has been put back in the hallway. We can now enjoy the rimu panelling without an over-abundance of coats, hats, bags and other accumulated stuff, much of which has been given away to op shops.

You’d never know that the umbrella stand has suffered two major breaks. The first was in the earthquakes and the second was caused by me knocking it over. The entire bottom of it dropped off. I repaired it with Gorilla glue and clear tape.
