Distractions... bathroom renovation

I know this is a running/exercise blog, but I have been somewhat distracted this week with a bathroom renovation - working from home in the mornings (to supervise!) and dealing with a port-a-loo, and showers at work in the evenings.

What can I say - I didn't do it! I'm sure it was considered trendy and modern at some point in time.

Day 1 & 2 (5 photos)
Toilet wall dismantled, floor and ceiling ripped out to allow replacement beams.

Day 3 & 4 (10 photos)
New floor in place, walls and ceiling plastered over, shower hob created.

Day 5 & 6 (6 photos)
Waterproofing and tiles.

Day 7 & 8 (2 photos)
More tiles. Who'd have thought that tiling would be so labour-intensive. Emergency mission this morning to get a couple more boxes of the wall tiles, as he'd chewed through more than I'd calculated for.

Day 9 (3 photos)
Grouting and plumbing. Damn, it looks good. I'm blown away. And having a flushing toilet in the house is pretty cool too! Still waiting on a few tap parts and the shower screen, and it's up to me to finish off the painting.
