My house renovation project

Damn that's a nice bathroom. Might be a bit too square for some but that under sink storage is a god send. My new build is being fitted with a round sink and there's simply no room for storage. Annoying to say the least.
 
The weight of water allows the bath to settle,especially if it's acrylic,then apply sealant, leave water in bath until it's dry (24hours).
If you seal the bath dry as soon as you add water, the sealant usually splits, & seperate from the tiles or bath.

Excellent project mate.
For a 2 up 2 down, it may have been easier to move, lol.
Looks like you've spent/are spending a small fortune, but if you end up with it exactly how you want it....then good for you.

Keep 'em coming, looking forward to the end result.
 
Hi there,

We did an initial layer of silicone when we fitted the bath before we fitted the tiles.
There are three more tiles to be fitted that will go behind the shower before we can start grouting.
Once we've grouted we will of course fill the bath and seal the bath properly.

Hi there,

It probably would have been!
But I would have had to do the same wherever I moved to.
The way I look at it when I'm finished it will be just how I have always wanted it with little compromise.
I bought it 6 years ago and with one thing or another I've always been held back financially from doing exactly what I wanted so I thought now is the time.

Had my 4 panel doors delivered today!

I'm also expecting delivery of my bathroom speaker and LED downlights today also!

Nice, I'm actually in Kempston of all places!
Slowly but surely getting there, the bit I'm struggling with affording is the Kitchen!
 
No pictures yet but a few updates coming with pictures soon!


- Speaker wiring for Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen, Lounge.
- Boiler Power
- Holes cut for downlighters on Landing
- Cable for Light in Master Bedroom installed.

Also I've purchased a RaspberryPi Version B which I hope to program under siri proxy to integrate with the automation options I have to control the devices from Siri!

How cool!

Hi there, I'm new to the whole RaspberryPi thing but I'm learning thanks to the internet!
Once I'm a bit further along I'll explain!

Good shout that, I'm thinking about a bath/shower combo for my next project so well worth remembering that.
