Down tools

As we prepare for an influx of relatives this weekend on account of a first birthday party, I've taken the drastic step of tidying away the tools, screws and general mess from the bathroom and hallway.

It's not that the work is finished (still....) but that it's harder to cover up for the fact in it's taking so long when the walk from the bedroom to the shower in the morning is a bit like playing Indiana Jones.

Anyway, we're nearly there. The remaining jobs are:

  • sort out the ceiling, which is the original artex supplemented with a splattering of tile adhesive
  • get the grout off the floor, which stuck to the non-polished tiles....doh
  • fit the extractor fan
  • fit mirror, toilet roll holder etc
  • perhaps fit a new cupboard to make more storage space.

Have I forgotten anything? 

I took the old bath to the tip today. It went into the landfill skip. I felt so guilty. I'd tried leaving on the drive (no one stole it, although they took the sink) and advertising on freecycle (no replies).

What else can you do with an old acrylic/fibreglass bath?

  1. the only more effective solution than landfill + guilt is landfill and no guilt, having already tried the alternatives.
