    Default Finally finished!

    Hi Guys,

    I asked some questions about a wet room install last year and got some great advice, just thought I would share some pictures of the project now I`ve finally finished it.

    Go easy on the negatives I`m not a tiler / plumber / trades person, I`m an IT manager with no previous experience in any trade. Hope it inspires like minded DIYers, I`m pleased with it. Did the whole job, plumbing, tiling, plastering, electrics, joinery etc myself. Cost about 4k for the entire project, thats everything all in, including £800 worth of tiles.

    The order of the pics is a bit messed up for some reason but you can tell which is before during and after... hopefully!

    That looks excellent. You must be very pleased with it. How long did it take from start to finish?
