Project Ensuite
I think I mentioned in an earlier post that we had a couple of projects planned for 2017.
Well the first one is underway and it is to build the ensuite shower room onto the bedroom at the back of the house. It's effectively in the sitting room on the top of the utility room. We had originally hoped to have that as a mezzanine reading platform BUT the thought of trying to get planning permission for an open platform with a library ladder up to it was not something we were prepared to fight our way through so change of plan.
The sitting room covered in blue plastic to save us having to move everyhting out...........
Day 1 - the scaffolding tower in the sitting room - built on a plywood base to save the wooden floor.
A very neat job by a very competent carpenter - and so we have a new wall in the sitting room
Day 2 the plasterboard fitted awaiting the plasterer.
Day 3 and the plasterer finishes the job - we just need to paint it now!
A very neat job with the odd splash of plaster on the existing walls but not too bad - just dusty!
The shower room. Looking into the ensuite from the bedroom, eventually this will be the view of the shower.
Inside the room looking under the eaves - this will be walled in to provide storage space.
This is what our lovely Roger Oates carpet on the stairs looks like during the week. Supposedly the 'dust sheets' protect it from dust but I still have to vacuum the carpet and wash it over every weekend to get rid of the dust!
Building the wall in the Ensuite above and below on either side of the eaves.
Looking in to the Ensuite you can see where the shower will be placed.
Next step in the walls above and below, with opening for access doors to storage area.
Cement board on the wall where the shower will be.
Next stage of the walls, now tiled!
Tiles grouted in grey............. great job for a sunday morning!
Ready for the Shower wall..................
Showerwall fitted (in Citrine)
M decided to fit the extractor fan and housing, very neat job.
Apparently the plasterer that did the scrape render on the external walls that we have now incorporated into the bathroom had never been asked to do this on an internal wall - it's usually used externally but works really well given the origins of these walls.
Wooden floor in the process of being fitted. it's a small room but it took a long time to fit with all the 'fiddly' bits.
Vanity unit now wall mounted, just need the plumbers to fit the sink now.
Shower screen fitted!
Radiator and toilet awaiting the arrival of the plumber.
It's wonderful to behold the work of a skilled carpenter - the steps from the bedroom into the ensuite.
Vanity unit and sink now fitted and operational
Towel rail and toilet now fitted and operational
Shower all fitted and operational.
IT'S FINISHED!!!!!!!
