Quirky

 


Last weekend we drove out to Cobden (a suburb nearby) as I had heard that one of the window companies there were selling second hand windows. We are in the process of renovating the laundry to be the new bathroom. Currently our bathroom is located in a strange box like area which is very small so we have moved the laundry out the garage and the bathroom will move to where the laundry was.

 

We ended up buying 2 windows at a very cheap price. The one on the left is going to be the main bathroom window and the one on the right will be the toilet window, both chosen because with the type of glass, you can't see in or out for privacy. The toilet window will be high up.

Today is ANZAC Day (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) and remembered every year for those who have fought in every war but specifically to remember the anniversary of the 1915 Gallipoli landing during WW1. I have relatives and ancestors who have fought in both WW1 and WW2 that we remember and most towns have dawn services and parades. I'm down with a minor head cold this weekend so I won't be going anywhere.

Linking up with Weekend ReflectionsShadow Shot Sunday and The Weekend Roundup.

I don't think I've ever bought a window. Get well soon!

I'm glad you were able to buy a few beautiful windows for a good price. I especially like the bathroom window.
Get well soon from your cold.

That is a fine looking red building. Best of luck with your construction project. Finding new windows at a good price is a great start.

It´s often a good thing to buy second hand and you were lucky to find those windows.
Hope you get well soon.

Great idea to buy used! Windows are expensive, I've bought them.
