Shower room update

Hi, I am posting from my In-laws house tonight.  We have just had a lovely dinner and are now listening to Sophie strumming on her guitar. 

So, an update.  The above pictures are from Monday, the toilet has been moved to face the opposite way which is where the taps were on the bath.  We had to have a new floor as we found out that there was a problem with uneven joists which would explain why we had problems with draining and the level of the floor for so long.

This picture shows where the toilet was and this is where the sink and vanity unit will go.  Believe it or not, it is starting to take shape.  There has been a lot of plumbing involved today so it does not look like very much as been done, but most of it is under the floor boards.

We have now moved onto and after a hic cup with the tiles, no fault of the tiler or our builder.  The titles were delivered at 40pm!  The Tiler also does carpentry so whilst waiting he set about hanging at door hinges round as we have decided to hang the door so that it opens the opposite way round.  It will gives us more room and will not bang into the shower cubicle.

Today we found the tiler putting up the wall tiles.  They are quite large and there was plenty of cutting round awkward shapes.  Looking good though and hopefully by tomorrow afternoon all of the tiles will be on the wall and the shower cubicle will be in. 

It is great when you see your idea for a room which is put together in your heads actually coming together and you still like it!

Hubby should be back tomorrow if the weather stays fine and the plane can take off.

No more making today but my first fashion illustration lesson was met with ooo's and wow's so that was a good start.

Bathroom Chaos

When we moved into our house 12 odd years ago we did have a go at the bathroom ourselves.  Due to a lack of money more than anything we did our best.  Now we have saved up some money over a period of time and on Monday work will start on changing and up dating the bathroom.

The picture above shows the room striped of the contents and the basin has already been used for washing paint brushes and plastering equipment.

We are going to move the toilet to the other corner of the bathroom where the shower head is and put a basin where the toilet is. 

In this picture you can see that we have had the ceiling plastered and that light has now been changed for something that looks a bit like a space ship!

My garage is full of various boxes and pipes.  Next week we shall have to stay with the in-laws while rest of the bathroom is  ripped out plus hubby is dis-appearing off on a work trip.  Why do these thing come all at the same time?

Just like the kitchen I shall keep you posted how things go.

Many thanks for the kind comments further back.  I can not comment here about the sad news I received last week, maybe one day I can.  It just isn't the right thing to do for me.  I have pulled out of an Embroiderers Guild as I am not really in the right frame of mind for it.  Another class is sure to come along.

Have a good weekend.
