at it again

This is our family bathroom:



We are at it again.  Somewhere I found a new spurt of energy to tackle the last internal renovation job:  the family bathroom.  Our home is really looking beautiful now and that last bathroom was just an eye sore that I could no longer bare.  The shower was over sized, the tiling really badly done and super ugly and there wasn't a bath.  It had to go.

On Friday the bathroom was gutted and our plumber has been back on site jack hammering the floor and putting in new pipes.  He should be finished by Tuesday next week and then we have to get the tiler in to screed the floor and brick in the bath.   Then it's the plasterer's turn to smooth the walls.  The tiles then go on, the painter finishes off and voila:  a new bathroom.  The difficult part is getting all the tradesmen lined up to follow behind each other without great big gaps between.  I really want this to happen quite quickly but the finish line seems weeks away.

Anyway, it is happening and it is exciting and Hugo cannot wait to soak in the bath.  We will have two beautiful bathrooms and will be one step closer to building a pool.  Did I mention that the temperature has been hovering around 40 degrees these past two weeks?

  1. You are so brave to tackle this so soon after the other renovations but probably good to get it done. We have also had unbelievable heat although last few days a little cooler, thank goodness. It has been too hot to even go outside and get in the pool. xxxx
