The saga of the bathroom conversion

Hi there.

So I thought it would be a simple in and out job. I booked a long weekend off work to take out the old ‘Champagne’ coloured suite and replace it with a nice modern white one. Oh how wrong I was.

We started with a separate toilet and bathroom. The original bathroom had a sink, separate shower, bath and believe it on not a bidet. I am not sure what was going through the last owners mind when he put the suite in, OK I can see that the colour was probably in vogue way back when but having a bidet in a room where the toilet is in a separate room, I can only imagine how hilarious it would look for the user of the toilet waddling from one room to the other with the intention of douching their nether regions complete with pants round ankles. Needless to say the bidet came out and that corner was replaced with shelves along time ago.

So with the romantic ‘Auf Wiedersehen Pet’ thought in my mind that I would enjoy the hard work during the day and a nice cold beer at the end of the day in mind, I set off to remove the shower.

This is where the blog begins.

Bathroom was B&Q, plasterboard and coving by Wickes, Lights by B&Q and left overs from the extension. Bits and pieces by Grandad Tony and his amazing shed of miracles.

What it should look like!

This is what the brochure has it looking like. Mmmmmm…very nice.
