Mark and Sid started tiling the en-suite on Monday while Al was tidying up the edges of the plasterboard in the sun room and then he put the batten around the bathroom ready for tiling. Fred continued painting the rendering.

On Tuesday, more tiling in the en-suite:



This picture shows where the basin will be positioned below the window.






This is the main wall, the shower will be on the left and the WC in the centre.








The shower cubicle will be fitted here after grouting.







Good progress was also made with tiling in the main bathroom:




This is the wall where the bath will be fitted:





This is the bathroom extension where the low ceiling is. Until such time as the new sanitary ware is fitted, the temporary toilet will stay.





Al was busy fitting insulation between the roof timbers in the sun room and kitchen, and because of the rain he covered up the Velux windows until the slating can be done.






Fred contininued with the painting but despite desperately wanting to be outside painting the rendering (!) the weather forced him to stay inside and he put the first two coats on the bathroom ceiling, plus some in the bedroom and on the landing as well as the downstairs WC.

Meanwhile, Paul was trying out different finishes for the doors and skirtings/architraves. We've not made a decision yet, he still has to try and get the colour of the skirtings as close as possible to the colour of the doors.
