Col's Construction Blog

Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Col. I live in Perth and I have a passion for construction. I am pretty useless when it comes to construction work so I tend to leave it to the experts. However, I find that there is nothing more pleasing than seeing a team of construction workers complete a job. Over the years, I have hired many different types of construction worker and they have all taken the time to chat with me. During these conversations, I have learnt so pretty interesting things which I will be exploring on this blog. Enjoy!

While doing this, the insulation saves you lots of energy you would have used to cool or warm the house by electrical means.

  • Ways To Integrate A Laundry Into A Bathroom

    11 November 2018

    Washing machines and dryers, stand-out utilitarian appliances, are essential parts of a laundry. A laundry not only houses these but all the accoutrements that go along with cleaning and ironing clothes. This translates into washing baskets, detergents and ironing boards.
