Stick with white, coloured toilets, basins, baths etc make a bathroom look dated after awhile. You also can match tiles easier with white.

Busy with bathroom renovations and saw a black basin and toilet at Italtile. But at R15k I’m not buying it.

Has anybody seen black toilets that are more reasonably priced meaning less than R4k?

Any reason to stick with white toilet and basin? Can also do that and just go for black taps, showers etc

R15k to take a sht on?????? I wont do a black toilet but I like a matt black type of tap and towel rails.

Thanks all. Going to stick to white and get black accessories

A black toilet is miff IMO. You'll never know if it's totally clean

Maybe that's the point... no visible skid marks = no problem

Yeah, Happy with the look so far, just want to get it finished. Couple more coats of the stain to go, roof sheeting, iso boards and floor still to do though.

Everything

Bar I put up for R5k (Which is everything wood)

Fridge is R4.5k (have an offer of R4k which my credit controller is considering).

Small things I haven't gotten too - wife will probably keep her running medals

Yep, already contacted the broker

Forgot about that place.. although, I would probably pay the bit extra for the Ryobi since it has the included clamp.. but you could just use a standalone clamp on the adendorff one ..

I avoid Ryobi like the plague. Rubbish tools.

Depends entirely on the use case... I have some tools that I use monumentally infrequently and the ryobi ones I bought are still going strong 5+ years later....

For frequent use stuff I totally agree... Ryobi is trash

I have heard lots of people say that but most I spoke to it was something they heard. My experience has been pretty different.
