Carpets are out - Revealing Tassie Oak Hardwood floors.

Carpets have been ripped out.

Easy to remove, however, I found it time consuming. The border spikes that hold the carpet down were tough to get out. TIP: You need to get yourself a pry bar.

Carpet have all been remove from rooms. Below pic is the master bedroom that had a kitchen sink and cabinetry. This has now all been removed. The room look huge now. All are now ready for patching and painting.


The family room is currently the dumping place. This is the second half of the demolition. I have already cleared and dumped the first load of rubbish. TIP: We used our local hard rubbish collection to removed our demolition rubbish. This saves you from hiring a bin. Most councils allow 2 times a year for hard rubbish collection.


 
 Our lounge room. I will be cladding the fireplace.


The dining room wall that contained the 1950's Bar has been demolished. New studs inserted into this non load bearing wall. Makes of world of difference. Still needs to be patched then painted.
 
All the internal doors have been purchased. We chose Rockport smooth skin. The smooth skin will allow a smooth finish when paint is applied. I purchased these from Masters for $47.43 per door. This was after a 10% discount from Masters due to their price beat guarantee.
