    Hehe, it's not quite finished yet but I thought I'd show you the transformation that has happened to our bathroom over the last 2 weeks. The bar steward builder has been here at 8:30am prompt every day since last monday, often banging, drilling, hacking stuff up and singing very loudly. Hence why I've been a groggy madam for a fortnight - lack of lie in! grr!

    Anyhoo, here's our bathroom the night before the work began (Imagine a matchign wallpaper on the top half of wall):

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    ^^ Typical 1970's Armitage Shanks deluxe family bathroom suite in 'avacado' green! As you can see, the shower is somewhat dark and dingy and about as much use as a watering can!

    Pics from today:

    [​IMG]
    ^ Luxury double sized power shower with 'boost' power feature - it's lovely, I just had a go in it!

    [​IMG]
    ^ Shower seat for lazy peeps!

    [​IMG]
    ^ Oooh, new 'foreign looking' toilet!

    Left to do: Finish off cabinets and tiling around windowsill, install wash basin and mirror as well as mirror light, waterproof 'slate looking' flooring.

    Not seen: The new vertical radiator that is chrome and for towels to hang out, newly added spotlights.

    Oh yeah, mum wants everyone to know that the border tiles were specially imported from italy and are made of some sort of slate, a line of glass and two chrome sections :rolleyes: (All extra features are blimin chrome and it cost a blimin' fortune!)

    Anyhoo - thats me bathroom, ish gunna be lurbly :D

    wayhey a granny seat in the shower, most useful for testing your 'shower proof' PDA jackets on.

    Actually the idea of using skype in the shower is probably something that would sell.

    Cool shower. I love good showers. Nothing worse than a weak shower. Dunno about you, but I think a good shower should pound the crap out of you :D

    My parents shower kicks ass - enough pressure to be borderline painful and three nozzles.

    Ooh, nice new shower!

    My parent's shower had two nozzles :eeek:
    It's fun to screw with your body temps by having one nozzle on cold and the other on hot :p
    its sensational! :eek:
