Downstairs Bathroom – Part 1

The downstairs (and up until recently, the only) bathroom had to be changed as the WC waste for the new bathroom had to be installed via this room. It also needed updating as there hd always been a damp smell and we wanted to change the bath for a proper shower unit.

 

Before we started:

We then took out the old bath (Peter swiniging the sledge hammer!) and discovered that the pipework was not correctly fitted and had been leaking for years! No wonder the room smelt damp.

We excavalted the floor (concrete) to take the new WC waste:

Created a hole in the wall (nearly 2 feet thick at this point) for the waste:

Connected the waste to the previouly laid pipework to the fosse:

The downpipe from the upstairs bathroom was them boxed in and insulated:

 

This all took under 2 days, and in the end was much simpler than we had expected.

So with the new bathroom now fully working we could go about destroying this one.
