How much longer do you think the whole project will take you Platypus?
Yes it would, but Andy is the qualified plumber, and he has a maximum amount of time he can contribute to the project.im no builder, but wouldnt it have been easier to have all the walls plasterd and floor finished before putting in the shower and toilet etc?
Now you're askingHow much longer do you think the whole project will take you Platypus?
You have no idea, living in a building site has been a strain. Especially as I've just had a week long theatre run. Can't wait. The bathroom is virtually there now, but still fiddly bits to do. And I found a leak in the plumbing - easy to fix - but about an hours job.
Just doing as ordered phil, just doing as orderedI thought feature walls were no longer en vogue - and a strong green will be a pain to paint over if you decide to change colours in the future - a patterned green wallpaper may be better in that regard.
Sounds like a great story to have come through thoughhehe, tell me about it. When we moved into our current house 3 years ago it needed every room redoing. I ripped the kitchen out the first night in there and we ordered the new one the next day (the kitchen was not usable so no sense keeping it until the new one arrived - plus it gave me time to sort out the awful job the previous fitter had made of the plumbing). Added to this my wife was 3 months pregnant and work was very busy, not the best 6 months of my life and we still have loads of little jobs to finish all this time later, but definitely less stressful to have a few unfinished jobs than to live on a dusty building site.
Walnut (I think) Floor varnish from homebase.What have you used on the floor there?
really like the floorvery nice colour
Good work
I've got all of this to look forward to in a month or two - I'm buying a house that's completely derilict, no GCH or plaster![]()
