| A hammer & chisel and the start of a revolution! |
Work has finally kicked off on the bathroom with a Bank holiday weekend exhaustingly spent removing the remainder of the tiles. Then the shock came: the old plaster behind the tiles was blown - dry, crumbling and turning into sand. As a result, the two walls around the bath tub required scraping back to the brickwork.

Brian, the pumber started on Tuesday. The second hitched was Thames Water had to be called in as there was a problem with turning the water off from the outside mains. Within a couple of hours, they had sorted the problem and work could commence with the bath tub being removed. Needless to say, for the last week all that there has been is a basin to wash in, and a bucket to flush the toilet while the walls are re-plastered before the new tub goes in.

The electric shower was removed and the pipework laid for the new shower.
And so comes the end of another exhausting weekend. Tomorrow the electricians arrive to start the full rewire.
