Project #37 - update...

So - we managed to fit in some drinking and eating this bank holiday weekend as well as some decent progress on the en suite. It's all slowly coming together. Slowly. But surely. :-)

Cutting a hole in the plasterboard for the big shiny shower thing...



 Executed perfectly!

 From the cupboard in the spare room looking in!

Shiny shower thing on it's base board...

 The new floor...

The new floor in...


Rob giving the new shower base a cuddle. :-)

Project #37 - walls back up...

So the walls are going back up, but now we have to figure out how to fit this lump of shiny nonsense...






Project #42 - almost complete!

Those ceiling are FLAT!




And the painting of the new ceiling has begun... and yes - it's a very boring job...



Project #37 - more progress..

... so the walls came down... who was i kidding thinking they would stay up this time... Although that was a good excuse to fit some noise reduction insulation into the cavity before the walls go back up...
