Now I'm ready

Over the past few weeks I've been working on remodelling our bathroom. Once I started, I had to carry on to the bitter end even though I became ill half-way through.

The first job was to build a temporary stud wall into the adjoining bedroom to contain all the dust while the brick wall came out.

The cast iron bath was so heavy I had to have my son's help to remove it. We had to smash it in the end.

 Floorboards up and replacing and relocating the radiator...this was a lot cleaner by the time the new boards were fitted

Lots of piping to move...

Now that we have the bath, more accurate measurements can be made regarding the wall.

Ceiling had to be plastered along with walls, stud wall properly constructed, insulated and sound proofed, tiled, floor replaced, window cill replaced, pipes all done, shower screen fitted...no shower yet.

 Toilet and sink repositioned, taps replaced and tiled shelf created by boxing the pipes...

 I only had two  bits of tiles after all the tiling was done.

Very pleased now that all the painting is finished and fully functioning again...apart from the back of the door which needs sanding and painting.

For just 18" encroaching into the bedroom we've managed to have the bath to the right and open the bathroom considerably. It's still small...but perfectly formed and a pleasure to be in.

I feel relaxed now and ready for the holiday...after a good bath!
