Only 3 hours of sleep last night so I thought it could be another productive day. The shower was delivered at 8am. It was too big to fit through to door so we had to take it apart outside. The base is heavy but the sides are just awkward.
Soon after that Gary took children to Landmark and I tried to carry the shower base upstairs. I knew it was heavy but I thought it would be ok. It wasn’t ok and I nearly passed out on the stairs so I abandoned it half way up. Stew arrived soon after and carried it up the rest of the stairs for me.
Spent the morning chatting to Stew so not very productive in bathroom terms. When he left I figured out the inside of the new cistern. It has internal overflow- not seen one of those before and it had me confused for a while. I swapped the sides over so it will fill from the side closest to the wall. I tried to figure out how to attach the toilet to the frame, think I understand now but needed Gaz to check the hold the frame whilst I checked the height so I started thinking about the frame.
Originally there was to be a frame and plasterboard kind of new wall but the duct for the extractor went out through the loft. I never thought we would be luck enough to be able to do that. When I saw the size of the shower tray in the room I decided to modify the bathroom design and put the shower further back with only a frame behind the shower and toilet. This means more dodgey wallpaper to paint out and i had to remove more pine cladding.
I did get the frame for behind the shower built this afternoon. I also got a bit of plaster board on it and did a spot more plastering. 
The new frame is not wonkey but looks it in front of the old boiler cuboard frame that I was too lazy to take down. You wont see any of it with the shower in place.
The shower sides are still in the porch and they take up so much room I will have to get it fitted asap. 
Would like to say I will paint the ceiling and install the shower tomorrow but the forecast is really good. I might just have to go out cycling.
