Monday- Day 13

Right so I missed Friday because I was away. Rob and I went to see Meatloaf at the NEC. Unfortunately he has a sore throat and so cancelled. Booo

But look how far we have come. The end of Day 13, and once the fitters left we painted. We now have a fully painted ceiling, a nicely newly painted wall, all the walls are tiled and just a bit around the toilet and sink (still in the bedroom) to do, grout and seal.

The shower is up but not working, the electrician is coming Wednesday.

Nearly finished now. Woo hoo !!

Thursday, day 9

Blimey take a look, no sink but the correct one has now been found and is in the spare bedroom. But tiles on the wall, and the wall where it was plastered is dry. Woo hoo

Wednesday - day 8

nothing to report. booo

Tuesday, Day 7

Well wowee have a look the newly plastered wall is almost dry, there is some rather nice boxing in and a new sink and tap have been fitted:



However (dum der dummmmm)

That is the wrong sink. And worse (because it is not actually a horrible sink) it is the wrong tap and does not match the taps on the bath. EEEK

Wish us luck !!!

As a little change from bathrooms, I went to ASDA this morning. We ran out of milk, which is never a good thing when you have people in doing works, so I ran over to ASDA.

I forgot that it being a Monday it does not open until 8am. I was there about 5 minutes early and was surprised to find about 20 other people waiting.

But what I did not expect was the fact that at 8am, there were people grumbling about the fact that ASDA was not yet open. One worker was outside and I felt a bit sorry for him, because as he was asking to be let in one woman was actually getting rather grumpy saying she wanted to be allowed in as it was now 8:05 (I made it 8:02 at the most)

Anyway I was very shocked, and thought I would share. Have you ever been subject to supermarket rage ??

Monday - day 6

Wowee. There is a new toilet. And it looks squiffy. Wait thats not the right word. It looks great. AND if you look closely you will see that the wall is also plastered.

There are also new tiles for the bathroom in the garage, and the few drips that we had have also been cured. And we have new pipes too leading to where the sink will go.

It is all starting to look a bit special. Take a peek:

Friday (day 5)

Well the bathroom is in and hooked up and usable (which is great as I am fed up washing from a bucket)

Right then, day 4 (Thursday) and here is how it is looking:




The ceiling has now been plastered, the bath is in place (but not hooked up yet) and the radiator is off and the pipes are ready for the towel rail.

So next is hooking up the bath and then I think it will start to move quickly - YAY

OK so after day three, all of the wallpaper is now down (it was horrible vinyl rubbery stuff that the pics just don't do justice to), the ceiling has been boarded ready to be plastered, the floor is all up and the sink has also been taken out.

We have a skip on the drive with the old bath and sink in it.

However the plumbing seems to be in place for the new shower (WOO WOO) and the new bath (which is in the garage) should be in tomorrow, not fixed but so we can at least have a bath (still washing with the pink bucket)

OK well almost as promised here is the bathroom after day 2. The sink does not work, it having been unhooked.

The new "bath" is a pink heart shaped bucket. Niiiiice

Right then so we are getting our bathroom done this weekend, and as I know there are a million viewers of this blog I figured I would do a bathroom watch.

SO here is how the bathroom was before the work started:



And this is how it was at the end of the day:




stay tuned for tomorrow....
