Now that Christmas is over, we have been able to get our plumber to come and do the necessary work so that we can move forward with our ensuite renovation.
The old vanity has been removed and the new one installed. The spigot for the shower has been raised so that my husband, who is over 6ft tall, can now stand under it comfortably.
The first job has been to build a small partition wall between the shower and vanity. This has been reinforced with cement fibre sheeting which also gives a smooth, even surface to tile on to. This wall will prevent the creation of a void between the two areas, which previously was very hard to clean between.
I have used bondcrete on the surface of the shower walls, before the render has been spread over the top. Further rendering of the top of the new wall and the existing recess wall, will need to be done and left to dry for two days before the next step.
The next step is to waterproof the entire shower recess thoroughly, so that it does not leak into the downstairs lounge room.
Happy Renovating!
Sonia
