As an ex plumber can I suggest Chrome taps and fittings and White fixtures, they do not date.

 

Ha Ha Ha ha ha!!

 

I am suspicious of you Mic. You wouldn't try to set me on the wrong path now, would you

Swans play the Carlton Blues on Saturday afternoon (1.35pm) down in Melbourne but as you say they are both winless so far this year and the Swans should win. Your prediction may turn out to be a bit close but you have the scores set out right.

 At least my math is good--unlike the Swans!

 

Go Swans

No I wouldn't,

All I can say is that chrome tapware lasts longer and looks good for longer than any other colour (Brass, Copper, Gold, Black, Platinum, etc) and white fixtures (bath, toilet, basin) do not date, (unless the style is of a particular era) they look as good in Art deco as in modern day. Colour your bathroom with accessories like and towels and soap dispensers, etc.

Yes, I think the Swans will bounce back and win by 30.

Now this is very interesting.Trends in the US are away from shiny chrome and more toward brushed stainless or nickel; other finishes are Ok depending on the overall decor. This is  a big reason why we are updating. (Well this, and the fact that our 30+ years old sink is peeling enamel and showing rust)! And, everyone here is using stone of some kind--man-made or natural, lots of granite (veeerry expensive). We have selected quartz, with a nice undermount sink, and a faucet that is small but  brushed stainless. I have had to imagine it all in my head and I can only hope it comes out OK. Tomorrow DH will get to see the quartz I picked out.

A win by 30 would be lovely. I hope you are correct, but I suspect it will be closer, and possibly not a  win for the Swans. My apologies for confusing away and home. I thought the schedule showed the Home team on one side, but apparently not. This makes me suspect that my score prediction is also wrong   But, I stand by my score prediction that it will be close!

I am sure your bathroom will look fabulous. Having a white basin under your stone/quartz top will be nice. Brushed stainless would be fine for the taps, but I am not sure the nickel wouldn't tarnish.

[MicCanberra]

Normally the home team is listed first but I suppose it depends on the website. 

If you use an official site, like https://www.afl.com.au/ladder then that will be the case

Swans should have an easy day out.

Have you given up on the Blue Mr GUT? You are probably correct re Swans. I'm pleased after the Bombers' win over the Demons last night.

I hope you're right. We picked a different piece of quartz after I went back with a left over tile from our floor. It will be much nicer. And, we went with a rectangular sink to replace the oval, in what is called "biscuit"--a very light beige. And brushed stainless steel faucets. I have been imagining this and I hope it all works out. If it does, we will do the same in the master bath; if not, we'll try and do better in the master

Yes, I think that is what threw me--in the US, home is usually listed on the right. You Aussies do everything backwards

Hope you're right but it doesn't seem like anything is easy for them so far this season.

 

Go Swans!

They ended up doing a good job, looked like it was close for a lot of it.

For the third week in a row, I am 2 from 4 with my teams. Both Sydney sides won while both Adelaide sides lost this weekend.

I will try and post some pix, if I can get decent ones with my new cell.

Ha--I was trying to work upside down in, but I thought that, combined with backwards, would make it seem like it was normal. Can't have that

My score prediction was off again, but at least the Swans finally win. Now we are back on track at least.

It has been a rocky start for both of us so far. The season is young, so we still have hope!

I predicted 30 points but then the Swans had that at several stages but let it slip again. Yes, as long as they get to the finals, all will be okay.

Swans play Melbourne tonight 7.20pm in Sydney, 12th vs 18th
