The plateau, part 1 - bathroom (Oct 2007 - Feb 2008)
Once again, this blog has been quiet for a long time! We really have been working hard on the house; it's just that there doesn't seem to be much to show for it! Hence the term 'plateau'. It's been a frustrating period because it hasn't always felt like we were making progress, and the list of tasks continues to feel like it is endless. But finally the flat is starting to feel a bit more liveable again. We've spent the last 5 months putting some more work into the bathroom, building/finishing walls and ceilings, and George has re-wired the whole house, installing new lights and plug sockets in every room (all certified by a professional electrician just in case you were worried!).
Part 1 - bathroom
A new hole in the external brickwork, for the extractor fan.
Tiling around the bath turned out to be a little trickier than we thought, and our new walls weren't quite as straight as they should have been.
Installing the new wall at the end of the bath was the first step towards our new shower.

At last, a new shower! After 3 months with only the bath, it was such bliss to be able to stand under hot running water!
It's nice to have a bathroom mirror as well, and tiles behind the basin.
Our patchwork ceiling!
