The great bathroom re-fit update!

[Goofyish]

Having started my great bathroom re-fit back in February and schedule it to take a week , I have finally managed to fit the WC

I now have a bath, shower, basin and a working WC Just need to complete the tiling and fit new doors on the airing cupboard.

While I fitted the WC, DW and DDs cleared off shopping in Leicester while I was left to struggle, having only Barney the Black Lab for help (did I say help!!!). Taking the old WC out was easier than I thought (and less smelly!). I then tiled the wall where the WC would be fitted and put the new flooring down (to save having to cut round the pan afterwards). The water inlet to the new cistern was on the opposite side to the old one, so I had to do some extra pipe work. The area I was most worried about - connecting the waste pipe, was very easy and I was lucky that the new pan outlet was in the same position as the old one, so a standard waste pipe fitting was all that was needed

Barney the dog was SO helpful, every time I put a tool down he took it downstairs for me After I took the old toilet out, he decided that the space left was a great place to sleep! He also seemed to think that I needed constant washing - he insisted on licking my forehead as I worked - must have been the sweat

I will post photos when I've completed the tiling

Glad everything is going to plan, Barney sounds like he was a great help
In our house we don't call it D.I.Y more like B.I.Y (Bodge it yourself), DP does try but never seems to get much right....

We have just fitted a disney suite in our downstairs loo

We got a toilet with a mickey mouse shaped loo seat and the top bit where you press to flush is a black mickey head,

The wash basin is in the shape of mickey as are the taps..
we have also a mickey mouse shaped mirror to go on the wall.

We are hoping to get the loo roll and towel holder when we go to disney in August.

The suite is fitted but

its not decorated

YET

Tim, I was wondering about the status on your bath project, but I was afraid to ask. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Tim,

I'm about to start a similar project.

I have done the initial prep work....

"Hello, is that a plumber...yes, please come and rip out my old suite and put a new one in...oh, and bring a tiler with you...Thanks"

Job Done!!!

DIY and me don't get on

Best of luck
