a little DIY...


Trying to get an old shower tray out , very tricky
New shower fitted
The good news this week is that San has been back to the doctors for the results of all her tests and there is nothing wrong barring the fact that her blood pressure is very high.  They can't find an underlying  cause and just putting the problem down to having to look after me.  Well I always was the worst of her problems!
Anyway with an increase in the strength of her medication the oil pressure is slowly coming down to a more manageable level.  This is great news for me because I was beginning to think I may have to start doing something rather than just sit back and be pampered.

New base and cubical refitted.
Over the weekend the shower in our house gave up the ghost, so as a result we bought a new one and a new and a new shower base to replace the original one which we knew was leaking a little.  So on Monday a set about fitting these.  As usual, when you replace an electric shower the new one will have all the connections in a different place to the original.  This meant that it couldn't be a direct swap and that the plumbing and wiring would have to be rehashed a little but nothing beyond what was anticipated.  The new shower tray on the other hand was a pig or rather getting the old one out without destroying all the tiles etc.  Anyway with a struggle and a couple of days work it's all back in and up and running.  The only problem being the tray was two and a half inches lower than the old one so had to have new tiles put in above it and they have ended up being in a contrasting colour, yes I already had them but it looks fine.

Today it's off to town with Grand daughters in tow, three woman going around shops, could be a long day....
