It was business as usual at the Grace abode this weekend. Dom got stuck into the bathroom almost as soon as we got back on Saturday, bless him. He plumbed in the new Grohe shower valve.

I made some lemon cup-cakes to keep him going.

On Sunday we got up early and went for a run, then after another tour of the local DIY stores Dom worked right through until 10pm plumbing in the bath and sink waste.

We have changed our minds about having a bath spout coming out of the wall and are swapping it for a discreet Grohe Talentofill inlet and overflow within the bath. We are also going to send the whole bath back to Ideal Standard. They still haven't sent us a new leg almost three weeks after we complained and their fancy compact waste system looks like it would block up in an instant, and because it is all sealed there is no way of unblocking like a normal waste system. We are seriously regretting giving them our business.
