How to build an ensuite.....
The first thing you do is empty out all the
junk that has accumulated over the years,
including
all the teddy bears!
Then you rip up the carpet, grab a hammer and
proceed to smack
large holes in the wall in order
to find the plumbing for the shower. There are
only three walls to choose from and
of course
the pipes were hiding behind.......
wall number three!
Once you've done that, you jackhammer up the
floor, filling the
house with dust, and unearth
the drain.
Strangely enough, you then fill it up again!
Two days later and the vinyl's been laid and you wait
for the
plumber to install the loo that's just sitting
there looking rather posh!
While you're at work for a few days, the builder
lines the shower
walls with Hardiglaze, and Pete
paints the rest of the walls a number of times with
the wrong paint, and a then a couple
of times with
the right paint!
(I think there must be about
seven coats on those walls!)
The plumber's been and the loo, shower and vanity
(which you can't see 'cose it's behind your left shoulder!)
are all plumbed in.
Small problem........
the loo doesn't work. It flushes
but flows away
reeeeeaaaaal slow, and when you use the
shower, the other loo, the dishwasher or the
washing machine
it sits there in the corner emitting
rather annoying glub, glub, gluuuuub noises.
Yippeeee......
we'll just dig
holes all over the garden and back
yard to try and find the drainage pipes. Why?
Because the stupid council seem to
have
'misplaced' the plans for the house and section!
Well at least the shower works.
The vanity also works and
once the plumbers have
returned and fixed the blockage by turning the
entire place into horrible sulferous smelling
wonderland,
(at one stage I had what resembled a rather
large geyser erupting from the septic 'mushroom'. That was
extremely
interesting!) the loo can finally be
used safely.
The little cupboard on the left has the power points
inside so
the electric toothbrushes are out of sight!
Flies that get caught in the little light above the mirror
cabinet
smell really awful as they're cooking!
The End
thank goodness!
