Main bathroom takes shape


Saturday morning was spent dashing about the county looking for tiles for the bathroom! The plumber told us on Friday that he needed the tiles for the bathrooms on monday morning!!We got off to a late start due to a late night the night before (another fundraising event) but we were confident of finding tiles. Our plumber sent us to Keighley where we got our tiles for the main house. We were unimpressed & decided to shop around, to no avail. Nobody kept the stock. Therefore, we went back to where we started & chose some tiles that we'd seen earlier.
On presenting them to the plumber yesterday he said he'd installed the same tiles several times recently! I take that as a good sign since they are not for us but will be ok for a letting property.
The photo shows the progress of the plumber yesterday. There's no grouting in but that won't take long.
Have been back to the shop today to pick up the shower room tiles & also to order the floor tiles which will match. The floors will need re-boarding in order to lay the tiles.
