as it’s not intended for use all at the same time

No ----, Sherlock!
Like Ed just there, I'm thinking of the plastic sheeting route.
Currently enjoying the grotty Fermacell grey look.

Nice tiling Over the years I’ve done a fair bit of DIY tiling and quite often when out and about I’m amazed at how rubbish a lot of tiling out there is. Usual location is whilst stood looking at the wall in the gents at a pub.
PS. I agree that you can never have too much bog roll!

Nice Job Marvo looks great.
I quite like the laying out part of tiling, it’s like a big puzzle, I soon get bored of sticking them on the wall tho!

 

[Marvo]

Well thanks for the compliments, I think the problem when you do it yourself is that you know where every single flaw is which makes it difficult to step back and take a more holistic view of the finished job.

I've not seen the fake marble plastic sheets, we might not get them here. Do you install the sheets like tiles?

Since I bought the house 15 months ago it's like never ending project. Started with bedrooms then bathroom, knocking some walls and new kitchen, staircase. Yesterday I've started digging garden for new shed.
It's just fun, fun, fun

I'm slightly concerned about your diet though, you appear to have a rather large quantity of lavatory paper at hand.

Bites tongue...... ;o))))))

@Marvo, does your house have cavity walls, as in my house I had to insulate the external wall as no cavity and as it was a bathroom to reduce the chance of condensation.

Think Marvo has mud walls, snigger. Sorry schoolboy humour.

Wow, Kropaske and SWD that's a complete house rebuild and way out of my league. Did you do the work yourself or was it contractors. It looks absolutely immaculate to me, a very high quality.

We don't have cavity walls, they're what we call 'maxi-block' and something similar to this photo;

You do get cavity wall buildings here but not really the norm. Damp and condensation aren't an issue here like they are in the UK, where we are the ground is pure sand so drainage is good plus the warmer climate and lower rainfall helps.

@Sintra was also supposed to be working on his bathroom over the holidays but he's being a bit shy with the photos...
