Day 2.....sigh...

  • Trip to the local rubbish dump to get rid of yesterdays rubble.
  • Purchase band aids, Tramedol, kneepads and gloves (and a sausage & egg McMuffin) on the way back home.
  • Measure, layout and mark all locations for shower drain, shower taps and plumbing, basin taps and plumbing, glass shower screen etc.
  • Excavate through the screed and into slab to allow 800mm Wirquin shower drain pan to be positioned.
  • Chase 50mm shower drain into floor and open wall to allow it to drain into external gulley.
  • Carefully plane gradual slope towards drain pan into shower floor using jackhammer.
  • Cut back plaster and brickwork around window to prevent finished tile level covering the entire wooden window frame.
  • Chase walls for plumbing pipes.
  • Smooth all walls and floor with a diamond cup-wheel disk to remove high spots.
  • Early finish.

Day 3

  • Cemented all the holes in the floor.
  • By 9.30am I'd had enough and decided to go fishing instead.
Lessons learned;
Fishing is far more pleasurable than building work.

200lb WOW... It looks like the guy on the lefts fish had a little argument with a shark on the way in?

Lol, just over 190lb and it was the third biggest fish of the 14 fish in total. I've given away around 30 kilos this evening and still got more tuna steaks than I can fit in my freezers. The dinner menu in our house is going to be heavily tuna oriented for the next few months :D.
