See my New Bathroom




Yesterday they finished, well almost, the bathroom. That means I can now decorate the bathroom with curtains and new towels. And most importantly, I can have a shower in my new spacious shower cabinet. *Happy Sigh*

The tiles are 20x40 cm, and the mosaic is rectangular as well. I wanted a sober colour scheme which I think I achieved compared to the pink flowered bathroom it used to be. *Another happy sigh*

As for the bathtub, it's still broken. The guy's been telling me for weeks that he'll talk to his friend who knows a guy who can fix these things. But I needed to "understand that these things take time and it's complex". Bullsh**. I called Ideal Standard today explaining the problem and within a minute I was told that a repair kit is available with the exact colour coded paint as my deep wonderful bathtub. Now it's ordered and on it's way.

It's been 2,5 months and I've learned a lot:

Lesson 1: Next time I'll be the most irritating and controlling client ever.
Lesson 2: Don't be so confident that the contractor know what he's doing.
Lesson 3: Don't count on other people to repair what they have broken - without proving that they're incompetent first. (Sounding bitter, no. Sounding pissed off, yes!)

Oh, and the tap is still leaking after the guy apparently fixed it twice. Hmmm...
