Saving water is not the problem but rather we should try not to waste it. If you wash veggies and fish in a bowl of water, it is all good to throw on the garden rather than down the drain. Fixing leaks is important if there are any, imagine how much water is loss from dripping taps alone. Unfinished drinking water in glasses can go on house plants. Buying plants that don't need much watering- like only just once a week. Using a bucket of water to wash a car rather than a hose. Also, in hot regions, form a 'bowl' in the sand around each plant so water just goes directly to that plant- and you can make a long groove so water continues to next plant. You could do that with those plants above even. Then add mulch, to stop the sun drying it up as fast.

Under sink drawers are a wonderful use of space, giving you easy access to what always gets pushed to the back & forgotten or can't be found. Drawers for plates etc. I find overhead cupboards hard to access what is at the back be it glasses or cups or foodstuff, so having these too deep is not practical. Pull out vertical shelves for your jars & packets. I like the idea of under cupboard & kick-board lighting. Have you considered a dust vent that you can sweep all your crumbs etc into? They are similar to ducted vacuum units & fitted at floor level under a cupboard. Also incorporate storage for all your appliances to hide them away. If you go with a glass splash-back, make sure it is clear glass as some is green tinged can ruin your intended effect. Enjoy your new kitchen.

Finally the job of replacing the spa bath with a normal bath has started. Firstly, part of kitchen ceiling removed to undo spa waste, then row of tiles removed to jiggle out the spa - no good! Plumber had to cut spa shell in 2 with grinder to remove. New replacement bath, same make and model, now installed, waterproofing done, tiler called in to assess the retiling job. I thought I'd be clever and order some white replacement tiles to help - ha, tiler says they are a slightly different colour but have just enough of originals to finish the job. Heading in the right direction!!

Hi there, start with the plumber to do a leak detection test. the room should be waterproofed according to AS 3740 so if you have water coming out side of the bathroom area it could be a leak in the wall or at the tap/mixer or water outlet. if you had a licensed builder do the Bathroom ask them to come back and fix it asap. Best of luck
