December disappears into a haze of waiting

This photo of a lake near Ohakune was taken around 1910.  It may be in the scenic reserve on Lakes Road.

December went by in a rush.  After submitting my building consent application at the end of November it was taken up with resolving design queries from the council and paying the bills.  Unfortunately I was three days late submitting to get my consent approved before their Christmas close-down.

I finished work mid-December, so with a month off it was time to start researching products, estimating costs, and finalising design elements.  The costs soon stack up even when you’re looking at stock bog-standard items.

The heated toilet seat with the anti-bacterial nozzle, pressure wash, deodorisation, warm water bidet function, and remote control was quickly taken off the list.  Now I just have to decide if I want a retro toilet or something more modern.  Decisions, decisions.

Next time:  All you wanted to know about getting a change of use approved but were too afraid to ask
