Meanwhile tiling continued in the main bathroom with the second wall in the shower cubicle being tiled and some grouting carried out. The shower door was also fixed and very nice it is too!
Mike also managed to find time to install the basin in the en-suite.
Fred continued with painting the rendering. We're beginning to think he deserves a medal for sticking with it and always having a smile on his face. If he's beginning to get fed up with it he's not one to complain.
On Thursday we saw exciting changes in the bathroom. Almost all the tiling has now been completed and grouted, there's just the window reveals left to do. Then it was time to get the bath and basin ready for fixing:
Al had his own starring role today - King of the Kango! For some strange reason known only to himself, the previous owner had built a rather useless concrete step in the then conservatory. As it looked completely out of place and encroached on the floor space, it was hoped that this could be removed without discovering anything important beneath it. So Al got to work with the kango and made short [cough] work of removing it. Actually, it took quite a long time and was very hard work, leaving him with wobbly arms and temporary loss of hearing!
