Bathroom Refurb - Day 6

-
The bathroom refurb began again today at 8AM when Rob was knocking on the door.

Today he brought with him the cabinets, bath panel and wall unit but has had to take that home again to do some adjustments on the angle.

These photos are absolutely terrible and do the work no justice! I've taken a mixture of pictures with flash and no flash because nothing looks decent at night time! They look dark and gloomy with no flash or sterile and gloomy with the flash! I will take better pictures tomorrow.

Tiling finished on the bulkheads:


Vanity unit:



With flash:



There's still shelves to go on the side of the unit yet too which is why the top is extended past the unit.

New tap:



Shower rail in place:



Like I said - better pictures tomorrow!

It's great just to have the bathroom sink back in place...but the disaster today is that the shower screen is too tall! Rob isn't coming back until Wednesday now, but is hopefully going to finish things up then - it all looks a bit of a state and unfinished still at the moment. Lots of beading and finishing touches!

I now have the task of trying to find a shower screen at only 1300mm in height and get it delivered on Wednesday, ready to fit whilst Rob is here...not likely, but I will try. The only one I have found which says they do a next day delivery says that delivery might not be until 7PM in evening. Hmmm

It's been nearly 9 months since I last blogged and I can't actually believe it's been that long - feels like it was just a few weeks ago really. At this stage then, I'm not sure if there'll be any readers out there, but I suppose if I want to carry on chronicling life on the boat, I need to make a start somewhere! I think the reason for the lack of blogging is, in part, because I was boring myself (never mind anyone else that reads it!) and it was starting to feel a bit too personal. I seemed to be detailing my life over the internet for anyone to read and I suppose in some ways, I was starting to get a little uncomfortable with that. However, that's what blogging is, I know! It's a diary of sorts, which is obviously only one 'facet-of-a-diamond' in terms of "our life", but still somewhat a diary and not what I initially thought would be just a way of referencing what we had done or had fitted (etc) in the boat. I have missed blogging somet

Even on Boxing Day we manage to find time to do some "boaty" jobs! We basically finished off the wiring-in of the new small inverter that we've fitted on a 12v cigarette socket directly to the batteries for the TV and aerial. We still had the thick cable hanging down the wall to the sockets which looked a bit of an eyesore and I couldn't bear it any more! It all looks neat and tidy now and we've really noticed an improvement with the battery capacity. With everything we usually have on, using the main inverter was taking around 10-13% out of the batteries an hour, which was way too much! With this new inverter we are only using around 3 or 4% an hour which means a lot less engine running time ! It's fantastic. I think this also shows that it WAS the main inverter that was using the battery capacity and the batteries aren't knackered after all! So if there's any people out there who are planning on getting a new inverter or are fitting a boat out etc, D
