Tiling Project. A bathroom from start to finish.. TOTAL refurbishment of bathroom

[Deleted member 1779]

OK so we may sponsor this forum but we are not aloof and we dont sit
up here in our ivory tower while you poor readers have to get down and
dirty with your own projects...

Oh no EVEN WE have to put our hands into the dirt, roll up our sleeves
AND DO A BATHROOM !

I intend to do this project in stages and I am taking pics as I go.

The brief on this one is to strip out the bathroom, strip out the kitchen
plumb in a new combi boiler and remove the tanks to give space.

OK here we go. First off in the Bathroom

This beauty is taking up a bit of space so its going....
But we have to make room in the kitchen for a new boiler

I've just taken off the kitchen cabinets and first thing is that
there is a great lump in the plaster exposing the bricks.

Patched with a piece of plasterboard and a bit of thistle !
(Do you like my plastering...) Now thats ready for the gas fitter who will be
on site on Monday.

Back to the bathroom and theres that tank again!
Wont be around too much longer.

Dirt on my nose? WHAT WORKING????
Time to grab the Timotei from the pile of rubble...

I am not a tidy worker !

What a lovely ADVACADO sink...

Going....

Gone...

I love my sledge hammer... Thats the shower tray gone.

OK thats it for now. I will take pics as this project progresses and
post up. Then you will be able to laugh at my efforts and hopefully
share my pain !

Part two.

We start off in the Kitchen and that combi-boiler is now going in.
Gas is now live to the unit.
Pipes to be connected later.

Ive got to kango the tiles off and strip the plaster back.

New radiators are on (yes the carpet is going!) in all rooms

Back to the bathroom... And that old hot water tank has gone
So has the cupboard surrounding it. All that is left is a stub
in the floorboards which is the main water supply. Will relocate
that to the kitchen.

All tiles and plaster have been stripped off the wall.
Its Back to basics.

Managed to find a hidden electric light
cable going HORIZONTAL in the wall :yikes: Hmmm

So going to chase the wall out and put it vertical.

DISASTER at tea time.. NO SUGAR. AND NO MILK.
Its black coffee *yuk*

Back garden is now looking like a tip! Was asked NOT to
put rubbish on the grass but there is so much of it...

Still got to tackle the old toilet but cant face going in there yet!!

Stripped out the fireplace, back boiler and plumbing for
the heating system..

So far going OK....

look forward to the next pic's.sledge hammer.hope you had your goggles on,not just the ear defenders,i tend to tidy as i go,less chance of sharp tile bits flying about the place.young lad working with us last week had big pile of broken tiles on the floor,dropped his lump hammer , tile shard flew up and cut him.he now understands why i told him to bag up as he goes.
