What can you do with 3.12 Sq m for a bathroom? I want a bath, shower, vanity, heated towel rail and of course a little ambience.

We always knew we did a good job of this renovation.

Competition was intense with 36 registered bidders for the three-bedroom bungalow.

39 Lovatt Crescent. The evolution of a house. The first photo is when it was still 22 Pompallier Place, before it became Lovatt Crescent. We have been told by visitors this was among the first State houses built in Whangarei. The second photo was when we bought the house and the third is after renovations were complete. We have been constantly amazed with the quality of construction of this little house, the original framing timbers were all notched together, the flashing details on the windows were notched into the timber and the soakers on the weatherboards are all copper! They don't build them like that anymore! Have a browse at the Album titled 39 Lovatt Crescent to see the renovation process. We would like to thank the following local companies for their help with the renovation. Gary Beazley for putting our design on paper, Codlin Turner Construction for the extension, Shoreflow Drainage,TPM for the driveway, Warren Currin for tiling, Muldrock Joinery for doors and windows, Gasworks and Plumbing, Jeff Webb Electrical, Metalcraft for the paneling, Dave Williams for floor polishing, Northern Benchtops, Metroglass and all of our wonderful neighbours on Lovatt Crescent for putting up with the bashing and crashing
