Rödluvan, what are you doing, are you showering with your clothes on? No, I did not. I only should try a shower cabin.

The bathroom needed to be renovated and I was with my husband Ove to a bathroom company. Here we were choosing the tiles.

The old bathroom looked like this, there were two room, one for the toilet and one for the bathtub.

There were two doors,  one door to each room.

The old bathroom.

The old toilet room.

Wall and floor tiles we chose.

The shower corner we choose. It should be stored in the shop until we needed it.

The old bath tub and the tap are really worn out.

The firs thing the workers did was to take away the old bath tube and the heater. Our house caretaker switched off the water for this. The plumber put on taps on the pipes. Then you did not need to switch off the whole water system.

Oops! Where is the toilet.

The toilet was in the hall. We could not use it there.

I could shower at work.

But how about the toilet? There was a toilet in a basement. This basement belonged to a shop before.

The basement was spooky and there should be a ghost too.

Look there is the ghost! A black hooded one :-)

We have good neighbours and one of our neighbours let us use her toilet so I did not need to go down to the spooky basement.

I saw a gorgeous sunset from the window of my neighbour. I loved it.

The doors are taken away. They had plastic so not all dust should come out. They should drill away the tiles.

They took away the old well. And made a hole  for the new well. And all the tiles are taken away. The red box is an air cleaner.

Here you can see the hole for the well better.

The well, the drain and the drain for the washing machine.

The toilet went moved to the hall, later moved to the bathroom. There was no real place for it and they had to move it sometimes. Now they had a kind of cement in bags to the floor.

Cement around the well.

Pipes for water to the shower and the washing machine.

We lived one night at a hotel in our town and had a nice bathroom there.

The hotel room was big and we had a wonderful bed. And a paitin of a sunflower.

Writing desk and wardrobe at the hotel.

Easy chairs and TV in the hotel room.

A new working day. Now we got the electric cable encapsulated.

We have kind neighbours who borrowed us the key of their apartment while they not should live here for a while. Now we could shower here and go to the toilet. Here you se their bathroom. I heard a sound that said "Grrrrrrrowl".

Then I saw a tiger on the bathroom cabinet. The Tiger said: "Hello, lived here in many years and I'm watching this apartment". I said: "How nice to meet a tiger.  I also have a tiger in my apartment.

Now the whole floor had a cover of waterproof cement.

The cable to the washing machine was ready.

I got a nice flower from a colleague.

The work continued. Now the tiles came in boxes.

And the workers put  up the tiles.

The latest part of the waterproof cement was put on the floor. And the walls with the tiles are ready

The floor tiles were put on the floor.

Unfortunately I went sick in a bad stomach virus. The work in the bathroom continued. I only slept in my soft hooded cardigan and did not care of the sound of the workers. I slept, and slept, and slept. The outdoor red jakcet was on the hat rack.

Hat rack? There was no hat rack anymore. The painters took down it because of they should paint the hall. The painters took away the old woven fabric and scratched away the old paint under it.

Here the walls are clean from the old paint. And the toilet had to be moved again so the painters could work.

Later they did  putty the walls.

We got a new well. The old one at the left, the new one at the right.

The work should have been ready in three weeks but one of the workers went sick and then it took longer time. And I had to continue to wash in the laundry room in the basement.

I got tulips from a neighbour when I was sick. I felt very glad for this.

The painter had colour samples and we decided to have the walls in  light yellow and the lists in light blue.

Is there powdered sugar on the door handle? No it is dust after the working.

Now there was new woven fabric  on the walls and the painter did prime this first.

The shower walls came.

Shower walls still apart.

Now they will build up the shower walls.

The walls ready. It looked nice.

The painter had a special tool to paint near the ceiling.

Now the walls are yellow and the electrician put up the circuit breaker box. 

The electrician was making cables to the bathroom.

The electrician installed the light in the new bathroom cabinet. We got a new lock on the toilet.

Hurray! The toilet is installed again. Now we don't need to go to the neighbours toilet anymore.

The plumber made the pipes to the shower.

Now the washing machine is in the bathroom.

Pipes to the washing machine. The machine is not connected yet.

Now the plumber got the connection to the washing machine ready. Now we can do laundry again.

When the plumber was ready, the workers put up all the things like this towel holder. One wall of the shower on the left.

The painter had the hall ready. The walls light yellow and the wooden strips light blue.

Now the bathroom was ready. On the right a little bit of the shower wall. It took 4 weeks for the workers to make this bathroom.

The bathroom, just ready. At the left the shower wall. I wished this cabinet so much. And I was happy with the cabinet with the lights and the mirror. It is so beautiful. And there is a new wider door in the bathroom.

The duck and the frog moved in into the bathroom. But the frog will later be on another mirror cabinet that we did not got delivered yet.

At Good Friday Ove got  miniature daffodils from friends.

This Easter was not the same as other years. I had to clean because the was dust everywhere. And I also had to sleep and rest a lot because I had not real recovered yet from my illness. Ove could not help with the cleaning. He also had been sick. He had order of the doctor not to strain.

Our son put up the mirror and some other things in the hall. There will be some pictures on the wall too. But I had to think first what and where the picture will be. Later even the telephone- and Internet cable will be put up better.

I bought a new lamp to the hall.

Later the man came with the other cabinet and also put up a little shelf.

The story of the bathroom is ended now. Many people have worked with it. A plumber,  painters,  an electrician, bricklayers, and a carpenter. All have done a good work. And now we have the bathroom of our dreams.

The duck and the frog are standing on the cabinets and they are smileing when I come in into the bathroom. And then they say: "Rödluvan can you tell us a story about a bathroom?" And then I tell this story.
