TANDY - PROJECT SHOWER

PROJECT SHOWER

HI DAD - THE EDITOR
Here is an entry for the 8Cowles blog from us: Tania & Andy

Tania & Andy needed to replace the shower in their en-suite.  It was leaking and causing water damage to the ceiling downstairs.  Andy started the work between Xmas and New Year, ripping out the old shower and preparing for the installation of the new one.  He did a really good job and made some excellent progress considering he was ill with flu and a chest infection.
Bill & Ria came over to stay on New Year’s day.  The 2 guys worked hard for 2 days and Andy did some of the last things during the first week in January.  First shower taken Friday 7 Jan – BLISS!!! Andy has a few more final things to do, and then it will be complete.   Here are a few photos (don’t worry, there are no photos of the first shower taken.....)

From Tania: Thanks to the 2 wonderful men in my life for a job well done!!!  Quoting Frank: “Team Work Makes the Dream Work!”

 THE OLD LEAKING SHOWER, TILES, DOOR AND TAPS REMOVED BY ANDY
 THEN THE TEAM BUILD THE NEW FALSE WALL  - TO HIDE THE NEW PLUMBING
 CLADDING OF THE WALLS IS ALMOST COMPLETE

AND FINALLY    "  ITS JOB DONE AND DUSTED "


COMMENT FROM THE EDITOR: TANIA REFUSED TO DO A REAL LIFE MODEL TEST OF THE SHOWER WITH CAMERAS IN VIEW.

Bill, a bit worried about all the work you did - looks like all you did was drink tea!

Tandy had the "Dream" the "Team" was Andy-Tania & Ria-Billy.
Ria made the Tea, Tania supervised, Andy did the swearing ( FFS ) and Billy drank the tea. in the end. There was water inthe plumbing, that ran down a drain, down the beautiful tiling, that looke through a awsome glass door, all put together with a team effort. if I must say so - Thanks Frank for the motivation.
