MrGrumpy and the small room...

As many of you know, MrGrumpy and DIY don't really mix, but the new home is in need of some updating. LittleMissNaughty thought it would be a good idea to start of with a simple little project...

The project was to update the smallest room in the house, yes the downstairs loo...
So LittleMissNaughty began by removing all the things from the walls and the getting the paper off, all well and good so far.

This is where MrGrumpy then took over, he removed the vinyl flooring (which left quite a bit of it's backing on the concrete), also when removing the flooring there seemed to be some kind of plant like growth around the toilet base... Only when he removed the toilet did he find that there were tiny roots finding there way up around the inch gap between the outlet pipe and the concrete... "oh what joy" he thought (or words to that effect).

The outlet connector was not in great shape, it was not flush with the floor so MrGrumpy decided that had to be replaced, several YouTube moments later... he hacked through the ABS plastic and managed to remove the existing connector without breaking anything else.

Skipping over several trips and to HomeDepot and various other DIY stores... All that remained in the room was the Vanity unit, the light and the fan.

To be continued...
