Finally...We Have A Bathroom Again!

Ok, its not tiled or anything and we are still waiting on a radiator after the first one I ordered arrived bent and had to be sent back, but on the plus side I have a flushing loo once again (not something to be sneezed at).

Aarrr look at him, Rich fitted the loo (fiendishly complicated) and the sink (even more complicated unbelievable) all by himself, including rerouting pipes and sweating new one together (I am reliable informed here that you get extra 'Man Points' for any DIY job that involves fire).

I love my new loo! You have no idea how embarrassing it has been for the last two years to have to say to friends as they get up to use the loo "be careful when you sit down, it rocks about a bit because the floors rotted away, try not to lean to far in any direction... also when you flush you really have to be quite violent with the hand or it won't... also if water starts to leak out from round the flush handle just push that bowl under it. Thats whats its here for..."

I love my new sink too, I have always liked bathroom furniture with really squared off edges! When we did up our last house, although I was really pleased with the bathroom, we plumped for a cheap basic suit as at the time it was all we could run too. I always regretted not having spent a bit more and got something more classic looking.
Another thing you notice is the quality of the product, even the plug has got quite a nice chain and the flush mechanise on the toilet looks like you might be able to hook your iphone to it!  Unlike the one in the last house, because we brough the basic model the push button flush was rubbish and was forever breaking, in the end Rich fixed it with two bits of dowl, some electrial tape and half a dozen rocks! Weird I know but it worked brilliantly after that. When we sold the house to some very lovely people who we have since become really good friends with, we forgot about the toilet until one day they took the lid off to discover our Heath Robinson flush system... I think they where secretly quite impressed.

And the new sink wouldn't be complete without my £10 eBay bargain Bristen 1901 taps!

Still a fair bit of work to do, we are tinkering with the floor covering at the moment, I really want black and white check Lino but the tiles we have are way to big and make the room look tiny (ok it is tiny but they make it look more tiny). On we go...

I know exactly what it's like to get a new bathroom after a long wait. Yours looks wonderful, great taps and what a bargain.
