INDOORS 71

Here you can see how I have rearranged the spare room slightly, yet again, once learning we would not be able to bring the wardrobe around to add to the dressing table. Now, back to that bathroom...

On the third day of work, the Monday, a hole was made in the lower hallway wall - the bathroom was actually looking worse than before they began, although I have confidence it will EVENTUALLY be palatial and snazzy - and I can once again have a shower, even better than before. But for now...I am wondering if it might not resemble a fatality of the recent Alaskan quake!

I can see that the light is going to work again soon, the air vent has been removed, and that the company use Henrys...

By the close of the fourth day, things were on the up. After the initial 3 days had made the grotty grimy bathroom into an empty shell with holes, dangling leads, and brickery, by the close of the fourth one could find a few beginnings of the new look room. Above you will note the old floor boards are now covered in an underflooring wooden mat, while below you can see the first of the wall panels have been installed.

Here we are after the 5th day of work - which was slowed down by rain, apparently. Thankfully I am not in a rush - Liz said I could pop round to have a shower if the work is not finished by Friday and although my son came home an hour early from work - assumedly due to having had very little sleep for the past 3 days - we are coping well after the initial 2 days of getting used to the change from an empty quiet house to bangs, drillings, and crashings.

Here comes the shower and flooring...
