BATHROOM RENO BEGINS

 

We did not imagine our bathroom renovation would happen so quickly!  Most tradies are flat out busy.  So we are thrilled to bits that the company doing out reno is able to start TODAY.

I will try to get some photos as things progress today, without getting in their way of course.

As it's a small room, photos are also tricky to get accurately.  But I will try.

For the next few days Stew and I will be using the laundry tub for our 'bathroom'... brushing teeth etc.  Sponge baths.  Also, using the pool showers. 

Luckily, our toilet is a separate room.

We feel like this reno will be done in no time.  I still have not bought the paint, as I want to ask the reno guys what sort I should get, and how much.

I'm going to pop out once the men arrive to buy a new wall cabinet (with mirrors) for the bathroom.  Maybe some new towel rails too.

Too much going on. 

Sofa bed ... they are struggling to get it into the house. Doors are too small. 

It looks like we will have to take the front bedroom windows out to get the sofa bed in. Faaaaaaaark.

For now, it's sitting in our lounge.

floor protected, furniture protected.

ABOVE:  more...

That's all for now.

ABOVE:  more... taken with the 'Panorama' setting.  Can get the whole room in one photo... albeit with curvy walls/ceiling.

Lacy and I just went down to the pool complex for piddles... cos we ain't got any running water right now.

WHAT FUN. 😖😒

ABOVE:  OMG.  Perfect, friggin perfect.  LOVE IT.

2.43 pm.  The front bedroom's window will have to come out, so the sofa bed can be put in there.

Steve is going to do that this weekend.

I have already secured permission to take the window out, then put it back in.

Dot the i's, cross the t's.

I am feeling really frazzled.  If it's not one thing, it's another.

I will probably join Stew at the pub for a stiff drink this evening.  

DOGSTARS:  No not awesome.  Just replacing the shower and vanity, and adding a cupboard.  I hope it looks nice once it's finished.  BUT it won't be all marble and glistening flashness.  Just a  modest bathroom.

ABOVE:  8.14 pm:   Home from the pub.  It's been a very up 'n' down day.  But going to the pub was an excellent idea.   I had a couple of bottles of wine (baby bottles),and I was determined to be HAPPY.  So I was.

I reverted back to pre-covid times, and gave everyone a hug.  I am a hugger, but because of Covid, had stopped giving hugs.  Tonight I didn't hold back, and everyone got a hug at the pub.

It felt GOOD.

Home now, slightly pissed, but HAPPY.  Everything will work out.
