Appointments and errands

Dw2 stair rail has been done.
Rendering around Dw1 garage. But don't like the gap between Dw2 gable - looks incomplete. So I've asked George to render it winnow.
Tilers were in today. Should be finished by today. Put grout in. Dw2 master bedroom ensuite is actually bigger than what I expected. Should have made it 1.6m and extended the bedroom by 20cm.
Met blinds person yesterday - expensive!

Met grass person today - expensive! Didn't inspire much confidence in me. Came 25 mins late, wore slippers which broke. Although did make a good suggestion in that the grass could be brought through the fence.

Just realised I got the wrong windows to be double glazed. The northern lounge windows which are bigger are double glazed, and it was meant to be the smaller west windows. But I don't think it matters. Double glazing won't stop the radiant heat from coming in, and to have some effect you need low E - a tint on the inside, which I wasn't having. Double glazing will help to keep heat in, so better that it's on the bigger windows.

Currently also looking at the splashback glass and colours.

Checked out Bunnings. Pavers are so cheap $10 max per paver - why are mine so expensive??! Also looked at lawn mower options. Need to see if there are smaller lawn mowers that can be carried into the house if I had to mow the grass. Cons of synthetic grass - hotter.
