OK so we may sponsor this forum but we are not aloof and we dont sit
up here in our ivory tower while you poor readers have to get down and
dirty with your own projects...

Oh no EVEN WE have to put our hands into the dirt, roll up our sleeves
AND DO A BATHROOM !

I intend to do this project in stages and I am taking pics as I go.

The brief on this one is to strip out the bathroom, strip out the kitchen
plumb in a new combi boiler and remove the tanks to give space.

OK here we go. First off in the Bathroom

This beauty is taking up a bit of space so its going....
But we have to make room in the kitchen for a new boiler

I've just taken off the kitchen cabinets and first thing is that
there is a great lump in the plaster exposing the bricks.

Patched with a piece of plasterboard and a bit of thistle !
(Do you like my plastering...) Now thats ready for the gas fitter who will be
on site on Monday.

Wont be around too much longer.

I love my sledge hammer... Thats the shower tray gone.

OK thats it for now. I will take pics as this project progresses and
post up. Then you will be able to laugh at my efforts and hopefully
share my pain !

Part two.

We start off in the Kitchen and that combi-boiler is now going in.
Gas is now live to the unit.
Pipes to be connected later.

Ive got to kango the tiles off and strip the plaster back.

27950_389992712013_617362013_4126405_6633127_n.jpg

New radiators are on (yes the carpet is going!) in all rooms

27950_389992597013_617362013_4126386_1043850_n.jpg


Back to the bathroom... And that old hot water tank has gone
So has the cupboard surrounding it. All that is left is a stub
in the floorboards which is the main water supply. Will relocate
that to the kitchen.

27950_389992592013_617362013_4126385_6518862_n.jpg

All tiles and plaster have been stripped off the wall.
Its Back to basics.

Managed to find a hidden electric light
cable going HORIZONTAL in the wall :yikes: Hmmm

So going to chase the wall out and put it vertical.

Back garden is now looking like a tip! Was asked NOT to
put rubbish on the grass but there is so much of it...

27950_389992602013_617362013_4126387_3679352_n.jpg

Still got to tackle the old toilet but cant face going in there yet!!

27950_389992652013_617362013_4126394_7206166_n.jpg

Stripped out the fireplace, back boiler and plumbing for
