Bathroom March/April 2009

[Colour Republic]

Ok TF, I thought I'd share with you the job i'm on at the moment and keep you updated as the job develops

These are the before photos

Kids don't you just love 'em

Can you see the big curve in the wall between sink and toilet, The picture doesn't show just how out it is

What is going on with that boxing! The soil pipe takes 4 x 90 degree bends over just half a meter! before it enters the stack

Again you can't tell in the picture but there is an 8" step into the shower!

Before shower valve shot

Before rad shot

On a side note i'm going to try and list the materials used as I go along. In the kitchen i've just finished I found a perfect tile to match the colour of the units and becuase I fit those kitchens all the time I thought it would be handy to start taking notes of materials used and where I got them from. That way when I show a new customer my work I can fit the same if they wish... Also looking through the albums of members here it would be nice to build up a catalogue of the tiles you used so it is easier to find them if another member whats to use them, what do you think?

This is at the end of week one just before I jointed the plasterboard and skimmed around the door

Dot and dabbed walls and new reveals (Old bath left in as only bathroom in the property)

Dot and dabbed walls, and floor screeded with Mapei Fibreplan, I managed to save the UFH that was already installed - customer very happy!

Dot and dab and wall that is going to be skimmed

Dot and dab, new reveals

OMG:yikes: What the hell is going on with that stud work!!! the old plasterboard was only screwed and touching the added 4"x2", the wall isn't at a 90 degree angle but surely they could have done better...I'll change that tomorrow me thinks!

Tune in tomorrow for an update:lol:

No I have my labourer with me to tidy up the mess as I go, I even wipe my mastic on his t-shirt when he's not looking so i'm not covered in it:lol:

very nice work mate

it a good idea keeping a schedule for every job, i should incorporate that

i now do a spreadsheet for every job so i can compare my estimated against my actual, it wouldnt be a lot more work to list the names etc of materials and a list of the suppliers

very clean tidy work
