I got up early this morning, mostly for coffee & to hustle the Screaming Teen out the door; he was getting picked up at 7am for a day refereeing. I got five or six threads into Fairy Idyll before the rest of the house got moving, then we got stuck into demo.

We learnt a few things.

• Only one of the walls had the proper gib (wallboard).
• The toilet pan was glued to the floor. No screws.
• The cistern wasn’t fixed at all.
• The basin carcass was also glued, not screwed.
• The ammt of glue used to hold down the top wouldn’t fill a bottle lid.
• Surprisingly there was insulation in the outside wall. We had our doubts by the time we got to that one.

I’d forgotten how much I hate demo. And yay! We’ll get to do it all over again with our bath before summer ends.
