Guest Bathroom

The fresly renovated guest bathroom. All work done by me!

7 - Walls are in

Tarl posted a photo:

Villaboard (?) on the walls and floor and Gyprock on the ceiling - this was done in a day

Date: 2 August 2008

5 - Pipes

Tarl posted a photo:

Pipes, electricity and drains go in

Date: 27 July 2008

14 - Wall tiles

Tarl posted a photo:

Tiling is up in four days

Date: 25 August 2008

18 - Bathroom Finished

Tarl posted a photo:

It's finished - finally! The screen and window are installed. The window was the wrong size and had to be remade that same day and fitted

I'm not completely happy with having the window as it is in the shower but we'll see if it rots

Date: 15 September

As you can see from the date it took 2 months for the bathroom to be finished - but there's only 18 photos so perhaps it was 20 working days... eh?

All I can say is that there is no luxury like having a shower at your own house!

8 - Waterproofing first layer

Tarl posted a photo:

This is the first layer of waterproofing to go down - a tad smelly - I was worried the budgies would expire (but they were all good)

Frame installed around window - this isn't what we thought we were signed up for but it's what we got - we were expecting them to tile right up to the window but were later told this was not do-able

Date: 7 August 2008

The bathroom renovation company we used was Vemeer Renovations (PV Plumbing & Engineering) but I wouldn't recommend them.

12 - Base second layer

Tarl posted a photo:

The base took a little while to dry - the waterproofing is the longest part of the job and weather affects the drying time
