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 !

Thats the one! - And before anyone asks why we didnt support our co-sponsors "Tile Giant" with a purchase from their showroom all I can say is that it is the Mother In Laws Bungalow - And her choice..

I can only suggest. But to force the MIL to do anything would not be pretty.

So Wickes it was.

Of course! I had forgotten that....

And just to show you all the raditor has been upgraded.

Raditor changed - this one above is too small.

Bigger Raditor fitted.... And managed to re-use the existing screwholes for the brackets so no
unsightly holes in tiles.
