Had sparky's here the last couple of days changing out all the old halogen downlights to LED downlights and put dimmers on the ones in the kitchen/living/dining...actually really stoked with the result! The kitchen and living area had 10 downlights all on one switch, and 4 downlights in the dining area on a separate switch. Would sh*t me when I'd be watching tv and the missus would walk into the kitchen and turn the lights on for the kitchen and blind me with the lights in the living area coming on too! So split that and also put a secondary switch for the living area at the other end of the room, near the hallway. The light/fan/heat units in the bathrooms were only run off 2 switches, so have split those also, so can turn each on and off individually now. Also putting in a bunch of extra power points and having the cables installed for the electric roller blinds over the sliding door. Got a colour consultant coming to give me a hand with colour schemes for the paint and blinds tomorrow. Painter all booked to start painting the house on the 29th, team of 3 going to take a week apparently. Price was a little more expensive than initially thought, but not ridiculous and it's the extra height and size of the ceiling that bumps the cost up. Will then finalise on the blinds on Monday and hopefully have them all fitted up before the end of my 5 weeks off. Hoping to also get a chippy in to fit up a door frame at the hall entrance to be able to close off the back end of the house (and laundry) before the painters come. Should breath a bit of fresh life into the house and make it feel more like MY house at which point, rather than a tired rental. $16k or so later though... Fully intending to hold off on spending for a while after this, let my bank account recover and start paying down the mortgage.

Given all other costs atm, can't afford to knock them out and flush it up properly...plus, doing so would mean needing to get sparky's back out to move light switches and alarm pad by the front door. So, how do you guys reckon it'd look just throwing a sheet of gyprock directly on top of the glass bricks? It'd still be recessed, but would at least mean the glass bricks would be covered and everything would be the same colour as the rest of the walls in the house. Or would it still look real average? Also, would I just liquid nails the gyprock sheets onto the glass and the painters can just paint as is? Or would I need to do anything further? Doors and door frame will be getting painted white, same as all other internal doors. Edited 22/05/17 07:30 AM by .Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolI'm thinking more of a temporary solution to look better than it currently does and better suit the rest of the house...with the intention of doing it properly later on, once my savings has recovered...
