Progress at last

Over year and almost nothing achieved?! It was time to do something!

OK so while Claire took the kids to visit their grandparents in the UK, I had about 4.5 days to try and get somewhere with the bathroom. The main goal was to move the bog and get the false floor in place. This was a fairly major task and would require the bog and water supply to be disrupted over a couple of days at least. Hence why we waited till most of the family were out. Once the false floor was in place, we would be able to continue work bit by bit without any huge pressure to get it finished.

I had already prepared most of the floor joists in steel (improving my stick welding technique with each one). By the time Claire and the kids had returned I had pretty much achieved what I had planned to get done:
Remove existing toilet
Install floor joists and enough flooring to install new toilet
Plumb in new toilet
Tidy outlet from boiler
Plumb in basin
Move shower cubicle from downstairs to new upstairs bathroom
