Renovation make-over

Michelle discusses the Kitchen sink with Renovation Pete



The day my sister’s tenants, Nazi and Habib left her unit on Myra Rd, Michelle decided to renovate.

It wasn’t that the taxi drivers had messed up the property. It wasn’t’ a renovation rescue. It was just time for an update. A makeover. It was time to call in Renovation Pete.

“Now Michelle, remember I just bring your tradesmen together. That’s all I do. I am not going to be hands on,” Pete reminded my sister.

Peter brought his trusted builder Tom along for the inspection.

While Michelle had dreams of dutch ovens, multi-coloured splashback walls, and side kitchen tables, Tom had plans for long-term durability.

For Tom, an update to a rental property was simple, durable, quality fittings with a simplicity that would transcend future renters.

His firm no’s at each suggestion were diplomatically accepted. Until it came to the kitchen sink.

Pete and Tom suggested the all in one faucet. All Michelle wanted was a separate hot and cold tap.

“Michelle you gotta go modern,” Pete demanded.

Michelle had her way. Tom and Pete accepted her decision and left for the evening to enjoy Eros in Earlwood.
Pete and Tom, your team
