Bathroom frolics

G'day all!

Long time no post.

We've been doing up the bathroom. We decided that the hole rotting in the of one of the walls had to be fixed.

So Nathan pulled the walls off. Rotting wood in the wall. Dang.

No showers. Double dang.

Then he smashed up the base and took the taps off.

No hope of a shower now!

Double dang with cherries on top.

Then he pulled up the floor and pulled out the vanity basin.

Triple dang - we have to brush our teeth in either the laundry trough or outside. Same for washing hands after a trip to the bog.

But good news arriveth!

Bathroom taps are sorted and sitting awaiting installation. Hooray!

Once the taps are in, then we can cement sheet the walls, then put the rubbery paint waterproofing membrane in, then hang the fake tile system on the walls. Once the drain is hooked up to the shower base, we have a shower! Hooray!

The new vanity has arrived but even though it will fit in the back of my baby car, there is no way I could get it out of the car by myself, so we haven't got that yet.

Next we need to get some flooring. Vinyl. I want lino but they won't supply lino for bathrooms. It has to be vinyl. I don't know how much vinyl costs in other places, but the chap I was talking to said that if we wanted it installed, we were looking at about $700-800 for our teensy bathroom - like it 1.2 X 2.4m (say 1.5 X 3 yards). The installers won't come out for less than $400. So we will do it ourselves. Once we cough up the bikkies for a decent vinyl.

Pictures will follow, but as I said in my other blog, it is too stinking hot to download and edit them currently.
