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 !

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.

Nice one! - I did consider the potterton but this is good

Just got back in from another 6 hour stint.... Forgot my camera!

Going back in the morning so will do a bit of a snapshot of the work
done yesterday and today.

PS: My back hurts... My hands hurt... My head is full of plaster dust...

Latest installment.

1) Bathroom. Room is now plastered. Thats drying so not much can be done in here for a while...

WRONG TILES HAVE BEEN ORDERED !!
Should have been 300 x 600. However 300 x 400 arrived. Going back Monday

On to the kitchen then and its time to get that wall straight.

What a mess.... Here we go !

Almost there.....

And finished... Thats the wall almost back to blockwork. Its as level as I can get it with all those mutli layers...

Cup of tea time I think !

My little portable fridge is a blessing with the milk. Bargain !

Shower tray has arrived but still cant do much in the bathroom yet.

Time to move to the living room now.
Jobs to do.
1) Strip out the skirting boards.
2) Remove coving
3) Chase out walls for new double sockets.

Nope... That bathroom wall is going to take some time....
