Oil and water

Starting with the water... Remember, this was all going to happen before Christmas? Well, on the 21st Dec our plumber was rushed to hospital with appendicitis - it wasn't good; he was there a whole week. So we've been waiting patiently until he recovered, and he returned last week with a mate to help with the heavy work. Operational at last!

Viv and I celebrated with a bubble bath each; aaah bliss! The shower's good too; you wouldn't know we have low mains pressure (cos of the wetback).
My Dad and Viv spent a couple of hours yesterday adding towel fittings etc. There was much measurement and companionable consultation!
Not quite signed off though - the floor tiles are being oiled by moi this weekend, with a blended oil mix from Motueka: 'Java oil' from Ecohouseco. Website's mostly about timber, but slate is mentioned, and Middle Earth highly recommend the oil. Very easy to apply, and it's enriching the colour beautifully. One more coat now and we're done :)

That's it, Bathroom Blog concludes... been fun!

So what's next, I wonder?? e.
