He got carried away!
11.15.06 (11:10 am)   [edit]

 

There appeared to be a drainage problem under our showerbase, so my significant other had to remove it to investigate.  He warned me that he'd have to take out the lowest layer of tiles in order to remove the showerbase, & I thought that that was bad enough. 

Well, the tiles and showerbase were removed, then the entire shower cabinet, surrounding wall & floor tiles....now we're back to bare boards, concrete, & even the bare earth around the drain!

Bathroom renovation

Yes, he became carried away!  We've ordered a new large triangular bath (over which we'll also have a shower), new tapware, new vanity basin, & we've chosen new wall & floor tiles.  SO will replace the vanity cabinet's benchtop with timber from our own farm!  I might post an update in ~ three weeks, once it's all finished.

A bunch of these cute birds were pecking at the window the other day:

Birds pecking at a window

I think they're fairly young birds, hatched in a nest in a tree in our garden, & that they were pecking at their own reflections.

Nothing like major renovation before a holiday! I hope you love it when he's finished. Great bird photo. Take care!

Good luck with the renovation!
It should look great and your will feel much better after all the renovating stress and frustration.

There's a larger hole in the concrete now, & the large triangular bath has arrived, but it's sitting in my bedroom at the moment!

Save your jealousy until it's all done, Andrea! Wait for the 'after' photos! :-)

Looks good, I bet it will be really nice when it's all done. I've been thinking about taking out the tub on our bathroom and putting in a bigger one. I want to start saving up for it after the holidays.
