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.
