this have taken nearly 9 months to sort out.. would have been quicker but we changed our minds a few times and i hurt my back during it so work stoped for 2-3 months..
so we have a main bathroom and a ensuite. the main bathroom never got used infact in the 8 years we lived here we never even tiled it. so in order to justify spending money we decided to knock the wall through to make one room
there was a bath here.. we raised the floor to make the drainage easyer
start of the wall coming down
had to keep the old shower as long as possible so we had somewere to wash didnt think it would be like this for 6 months
had to do the flooring joists in sections rather than one length as the pipe work in the middle is the old show drainage that will be removed when the old shower goes.
the plan was to use one of the old toilets but this changed later.
shower plumbing
the plan was to just block up and plaster the door but it was just as simple to re plaster the whole wall
new toilet
finally some tiles
this is the door that will be fitted
after seeing how the bathroom has turned out in doing the rest of the upstairs of the house this weekend and have the week off next week.. new floors throughout, new paint, new doors are trims. and new carpet for the stairs....

Looks good.
Not too keen on the raised floor when viewed from the bedroom, but fit and finish looks top notch.

Very nice!
How much did that cost altogether?
Take it you did most of the work yourself?

that door from the bed room is blocked up now.. you have to use the main door
cost wise about 3500-4k(euros)
so much of the money is under the tiles that you cant see plus as i said earleer we changed our minds a few times which cost a small few quid.
i did everything underneath.. design, plumbing, electrics, carpentry(butchery ) then got a mate tiler to do the tiling and a mate plasterer to do the ceiling and the wall in the bedroom.
i can do small tiling jobs myself but these tiles cost nearly a grand so i didnt want to feck them up
plastering i tryed before and made a mess so never again... have to know you limits
