Xmas 2011 Project - Guest Room Ensuite

With some of the framework already in place from the building of the guestroom the first thing to do was to install the window (the dark corner was immediately transformed by doing this).

The rest of the framework went up easily and the room started to take shape. Amazing how much space will be in the room itself. much of what is going into this build is recycled from a refurbishment at work, donated by friends and bought from a local second-hand business.

The shower cubicle was removed from the studio when we installed the bath, insulation was left over from the refurb at work and the Gyprock was given to us by a friend whose neighbour wanted him to dump it all at the council tip.

So much more was also salvaged, like the flooring (yet to be installed) from work, sink was a left over prop from the theatre company, wiring was given to us from the electricians as they were just going to throw it all out, as well as the switches and sockets. [all installations both electrical and plumbing were overseered by qualified tradespeople, as we did all the 'grunt' work for them.]

Luckily the previous owner who built the shed had the forethought to put all the plumbing into the concrete slab. This made it both easier to install the bathroom necessities and also harder to locate them, as the pipes were just placed at random locations and strange distances for any installations (nothing that couldn't be worked around however!)

So, it is all coming together and is almost finished... more soon!
