Sowing the Seeds

Yes, One day I will have a bathroom…. But I have been saying that now for oh about four years!

It’s one of the small (and many) annoyances of being an owner builder…things just seem to take time. Especially when a baby pops in halfway through the scenario and then too a business opportunity also arises! What can you do?

Well we used to have a lovely solar shower surrounded by hessian for privacy. Mind you we do live on many acres so the neighbours are a fair distance over them there hills!

Now we have a bucket.

Here are the latest scintillating pics of my bathroom in progress… and any parent with two young ankle biters can relate as to how imperative a bathroom is for not only cleansing your young but a deep bath at the end of the day…I can only dream.

You can actually see the bath there, hidden under all those paint cans, extension leads,tools and cement! So I guess technically we do have one..unfortunately it is not in operation yet! I’m hoping Christmas time, that would be really nice

This corner is where our shower will be.

The taps are in the wall waiting for the vanity unit. We are still to plumb in all the water. We will be using a solar hot water system. It is the type with tubes rather than panels.

Well I guess I have waited this long…some people find it incredulous that we have lived for four years without hot running water. I am so used to boiling the kettle now to do things like wash the kids faces, bathe them, clean and tidy the house etc.

It will be just divine though when I can finally have a nice hot bath, with lovely bubble bath and just a few candles to light the room. Not long now….
