I can has shower!

Good gods, the shower is finally fitted. After eighteen months of grumbling, wrecking, framing, flooring, plumbing, nogging, tiling and mosty prevaricating, slacking and stalling it's in. There's hot wet coming out of the hot wet end and going down the gurgly end, and tiles anna curtain and everything.

Splish splashNo more pool showers. No more bloody pikey flannel-cleansing arrangements (though come the apocalypse, I'll be smugly keeping beautifully clean on four litres of sun-warmed rainwater, for I has Teh Knack now). Bliss.

Bliss, and that lovely feeling you get when a fettle or a project finally comes together and you can say, "I am in control of my environment! Behold the power I wield! I am a member of a tool-using species capable of planning and executing shit and not just on the bloody internet! Today, basic plumbing facilities! Tomorrow, the World! Bwahaha!"

I really should lay the floor next...

Well done you!

And you didn't go for the periodic table shower curtain in the end...

Looks cool, well done Andy! Did eighteen months include getting rid of the old shower/bathroom?

Very nice. I, myself, resorted to professionals to replace my shower, because my fitness to belong to a tool-wielding species was in doubt.

I'd finish those walls first. I mean the steam wont do that wood any good >.<

Maybe you can throw money at the rest of the bathroom now?
