Bargains

well the final stage of the plan is complete, the bathroom has been choosen ordered and the final bits are being delivered tomorrow. Hubby has just started working out the electrics before putting up a false ceiling into which he will recess two spot lights.

The floor was a bargin. The floor is small but even so all the big tile places (we want ceramic tiles) were quoting £100-£150 for it. Ridiculous. In one tile place we found a bargin corner in a dark store room and there were the tiles. Just enough mind you no room for mistakes. They were slightly lighter than we wanted and had a blue taint to them but with white walls and suite we could make that alteration. The cost £20 for the WHOLE floor!!!!!

Then we looked for the bathroom suite and after a tremendous amount of shopping about which we would never have been able to do before with out the car we found out that B&Q had the best offer -40% off. We saved shed loads.
So we are doing quite well.
The hot damp humid weather is not helping the work though poor Hubby.

Are you having a shower put in?
My shower is in the bathtub and it's quite dark in there once the shower curtain is drawn all around the shower. I wish I had put in a waterproof pot light on a separate circuit and switch above the shower.... it might be something you could consider before you go too much further.
