@brroberts  That's great achievment.

Did you have to do waterproofing ? Did you have Waster Drain and how did you work around that ?

I am in QLD and not sure if waterproofing was done in my laundry. Second bathroom did not have waterproofing done (found out when renovation was done). I am assuming laundry wouldn't have waterproofing done in that case. 

thanks

Hello @Sugar 

Let me tag @brroberts as well to make the aware of your kind words and question. In regards to waterproofing, it is required for both bathroom and laundry areas. It must also be applied by a trained registered agent as it will need to be sighted and signed off. I suggest double checking the rules and regulations of your local council in regards to waterproofing before you begin. 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
