Jules. Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) This is how we've been living for the last 4 weeks. Spot the tub trugs! Ethan's room Alexander's room Bathroom Bathroom- new bath! Front bedroom We are putting the house back to the 3 bedrooms it was built with- when we got it the previous owners had turned it into a 2 bedroomed house with a massive bathroom. We think there is another week's worth of work to do at least. The new bath is in and the bedroom walls. We have all been sleeping together in the front bedroom Edited April 2, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hard work isn't it....but it'll be worth it! We knocked our house about a fair bit when the children were younger, and managed with out a bathroom and kitchen too, so I know what it is like.

feemcg Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Remember and show us the finished pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 I will! We think that the worst is now over, & to be honest it's not been that bad. The worst bit about being upside down is that things aren't being put away in theire proper place & we keep on losing stuff. Cathy the bath is great. It's really deep, Ethan could almost learn how to swim in it. It's still not as big as our old corner bath- we could all fit in that at one time!

chelsea Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I love the bath aswell, I could have a right old soak in that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It'll be great once it's finished. I can't wait to see the photo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krysia Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Lucky you, At least you are seeing the end in sight. I had no kitchen for 3 months a few years ago when we had the kitchen knocked down and extended. I did loads of home made microwaveable ready meals in preparation. We are 7 years in to what we thought was a 10 year project and now think we have another 10 years to go Oh well it will all be worth it in the end. Please let us see your after photo's as it might just keep me going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 It's all done now apart from some serious decorating in Alexander's room ( he has floorboards to walk on & plastered walls, but at least it's his own room ) & some touching up & door varnishing & frame glossing elsewhere.

chelsea Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 lovely! the bathroom is stunning, i love the tiles and the built in sink. Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygal Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Jules- I LOVE your bathroom! Its very stylish. It looks about the same size as ours here (we don't have room for a separate shower), when we get around to refitting ours (we only moved in 6 months ago) I think we will get a bath with a jutting out bit too and I love the tiling effect on the one wall behind the shower attachment hmmmmm *starts to think about own bathroom*!! but no unfortunately new boiler has to come first sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 It's called a shower, or "p" shaped bath. It's great We ummed & ahhed about buying the mosaic tiles, as they were really dear, but I'm glad we got them in the end. It's a nice feature, & because they have lots of glass tiles in there, as well as some stone ones they sparkle in the sunlight, as our bathroom window faces south. I got the sink & toilet unit especially- there are no nasty waste pipes to clean around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Jules your bathroom looks lovely I thought at first you had posted pics of our bathroom, it is very, very similar We have that bath (but with a whirlpool) similar toilet and sink and even the tiling is the same. We also have the same towel rail and soap dispenser Your shower is nicer than ours though It's lovely to see the end of such major work isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
