Our French Renovation
Many French baths can be quite short and ours was no exception. The bathroom was only 1.5 meters across with a sink and a radiator almost blocking access to the tiny bath.

There was no option but to knock down the wall and extend sideways. That would enable us to add a sensible sized bath, a shower, a full sized sink and a toilet. We could also add such luxuries as heated towel rails and bathroom cabinets.

We'd bought all the bathroom ceramics in the UK on auction sites for the grand total of £40. The heated brass towel rail and light brought the total to a eye watering £100!

The floor of this bathroom had 6 inches of concrete on it. We managed to smash it off, but the boards underneath weren't it great condition. Luckily the Oak beams underneath were in excellent condition. Mandy has been moving the left wall sideways 1.8 meters. It turns out she really loves DIY and get stuck right in!

When we moved into the house all electrics had been cut off many years previous. However, previously each floor had 1 light per room. There were two mains sockets on the ground floor and 1 in a front bedroom. The electrics all showed signs of heat damage and were probably installed in the 1920's.

Just to do part of the first fix wiring for the first floor took 1 kilometer of cable. Mark's sparky City & Guilds course is finally getting used! - Only 35 years late and in the wrong country. So much re-learning has been required.
