After our week off, it was back to the en-suite refurb we were working on.  As is always the way when you return to work after a break, it can take a while to get back in the swing of things again.  But this was soon forgotten when we saw the arrangement of biscuits that had been left out for us to choose from.  The level of hospitality on this job has been first class and very kind.  But we were here to work and started to get the job moving again.  Stu ran in the last of the water feeds to the shower head while I ran in the extractor ducting. Once this was done we could start to board out the en-suite with Hardibacker which is a water proof cement board.  We got the lower half of the room boarded, then set about tanking the floor and wall areas.  This involves rolling on a water proof membrane to the board so providing a water proof seal.  The next day we finished off boarding out the room.  Once that was all done, the last job of the week was to tile the floor area.
 

Monday to Wednesday of the following week consisted of tiling the walls and then grouting the tiles to finish them off.  On Thursday Stu plumbed in the towel radiator, and while he was doing that I put the sink, pan and cistern together ready to be fitted into the en-suite.  Unfortunately poor old Stu was having one of those days when nothing was going his way and everything took longer than he planned, I know that feeling!  Next item was to have the sparky wire in the electric shower unit, extractor and new down light.  As there wasn’t much more we could do until the electrics were activated on the following Monday we took the Friday off.
