| Rhule Reno Part Two |
| We caught up with Toni and Craig to see how their renovations were going. Things were looking up, despite the fact that they had to reapply the waterproof membrane in the bathroom. |

1
All the walls downstairs had been rendered. The CSR Aquapanel had been installed in the bathroom by Craig, who said it was a very easy product to work with. Aquapanel is an alternative to ceramic tiles and can be used in wet areas. Maintenance is also easy as the product is mould-resistant.
2
Tiles had been laid in the living room, bathroom and around the stairwell. They are hand-crafted Spanish terracotta tiles from Amber and were chosen for two reasons: first, because Toni and Craig liked their "rough" look; second, because if they made any mistakes they probably wouldn't be noticed.

The renovation has taken almost seven months. The home is now light and airy and fairly spacious. Toni and Craig are both happy with the final result.
