It's the sort of nightmare you think of after you've installed the bath and there's the masking tape to come off and suddenly there are small bits of fibre glass stuck to the bath. Some come off with a pull and some with soap and water but my oh my this is taking a while until - "Hold on, this area has just rippled and started to move!" Then we discovered that the whole bath has been covered in a very thin film of plastic as well as the masking tape layer. Does it say this in the instructions? Does it like hell!
The bath is installed, holds water and looks great but cannot be stuck to the wall yet as the plaster is drying but not fully ready for some silicon or glue yet. The cabinets are in for the WC and the Washbasin but I've got a hold up on the WC as the waste doesn't fit tightly enough or deep enough for my brother in law's liking. He has some at home so perhaps we can reconvene in the morning. He is just fitting the sink now for us which is great. It's sort of happened that he is available and has been here for 1 and a half days. In that time he has managed to really help me out and the bath has a frame built for it now which is great. I'm now hovering around doing small bits of work whilst he is cracking on with the larger stuff. I was at least able to re hang the door, sort out the lock and put up the first unit and the cistern is in place. I think I may get on and cut the tile that I need to complete the floor as that will give me something useful to do for a short while!
Just having a 10 minute "breather" whilst B-I-L gets on and does his thing next door. Amazed by how practical he is - much like I used to be 35 years ago!
