day 67 of the epic bathroom refit
I'm just cutting some pipes because I need to
move the taps for the shower because where we're going to put the new
enclosure is not the same place as the old one was and there's not enough room
under the sink to shift the taps over so I've bought some 15 millimeter pipe and
some push-fit fittings plus these tube supports and
this awesome pipe cutter for plastic pipes and I'm having great fun so far
can't see
what about now?
you can just about see Munchy there behind Anna's hand
transfixed by the paintbrush
do you want to help?
maybe we should have taken the door off
yeah you can't though because we'd have to take this off
I thought about taking the door off
but its nailed on yep not screwed
its screwed here and then it's got
these nailed on it okay well so how what we done today?
it's been a horrible day
so we've now got two new pairs of painting trousers
oh yeah I got this party hat I've been wearing all day
hey I had to go and borrow a tool off one of the neighbors
so I've attached that to run on there which would be just below the
ceiling which I've done wrong so I'll be taking that off and reattaching it
as you can see, Anna's being painting
all she does is paint and I've fitted the new shower
we shower on the floor now
just so that I could turn the water back on yeah it's
been horrible yeah we haven't got nearly as much done as we thought we were going
to and yeah it's horrible and discouraging because now we have to pack
everything back up and start again tomorrow
but I think
because we are not work through the night kind of people
i think I've made some good progress
I think so too actually because you have done all the plumbing
I've done all the plumbing except for the end bit
so that's that gray pipe
down there is the one that is attached to the gulper it's actually a washing
machine outlet pipe and it fits the gold press on and I've got a plug and so I
can attach it to this 40 millimeter waste so that's cool none of these
joints are dry so the Plumbing's pretty good
Munchy's just coming to check
the black cable you can see on the floor this is the switch so
I'm just going to which used to be in the kitchen I'm just moving that now
Munchy
very heavy and big I don't know how we're going to cut these
hey what you up to?
so, this is how you don't steal a
shower bit of glass Kath said to me how far do I push it in
and I said the whole way and so now I'm pulling it out the whole way
alright so you get this bit of squeegee perspex no squeegee plastic
shower seal
shower seal and then it goes
in like that
so then it makes like a silicon line
it's not what I did
not what you did
so what we've got now is the, both the panes of glass are in one side is sealed
and the other is currently being sealed
Alice is very helpful she's keeping the
doors warm
meow
she has a lot to say about today
meow
just want it finished dont you?
meow
she might also be hungry
okay hi we're just making our over washing machine countertop and next to
our new wash basin which isn't in yet either so we're just putting the trim on
around our splash back work surface
so that the workshop is free now yeah
because we bought the splash back already for the shower yeah so then
we're going to put the silicon on to stick on edging bits and then we will
attach the splashback to the walls using a couple of screws and then we'll
just see it around the edge with silicon just so no water can get through and then
we're gonna build a cupboard
and we've had a slight disagreement about wether or not the
what are they called the plastic grips that go on the MDF is running back the trim whether
they should be mitered at a 45 degree angle and Kath won because I said they
didn't need to be so we tried my way which was the lazy lazerson way and I
ironicly cut with a miter saw
in charge so what I've done here is rerun
the hot tap across and the cold tap across and then this is the waste from the sink
using washing machine hose and a t-junction
and then this other washing machine hose here that wiggling is actually from
the washing machine and goes out through the same hole in the hole just over him
and the guy at B&Q said to us no oh no he said it's your lucky day
you're dealing with a plumber but he basically said that washing machines aren't designed to go
out through less than a 40 millimeter pipe which is kind of a standard household waste pipe
of waste pipe that you'd get under your kitchen sink but then I kind of thought
well I see where you're coming from but the pipe that comes from a washing
machine the pipe that comes from the washing machine is only like 20 mils
anyway so you can't come out any faster than that can it and I was just going
directly straight outside so the main test now is to make sure that it doesn't
come out the sink or onto the floor from the seals so
we're just going to run a quick rinse on the washing machine
we need to do a rinse anyway
yeah and then we'll maybe do a wash tonight
oh it will be so good we've got so much clothes
sorry you want me to hold this or move out of your way?
i want you to put the camera down
and move out of my way
you heard it folks
