Day 61 - Plumbing, Windows & Electrics

Loft bathroom
It's all go on site. Plasterering, electrics, plumbing... it's all happening! The shower tray is in place in the loft bathroom as well as the towel radiator. When testing the shower drain they found a leak so had to open up a hole in the kitchen ceiling to fix it. Having run a hose through it for a few hours it is now watertight! It's worth finding this out before the ceiling is plastered.

The loft bedroom sash window and lower bathroom casement windows were fitted yesterday and look good. With all this double glazing and insulated plasterboard, the flat will be so much warmer than it used to be. Alex has been very patient with me changing my mind a few times about electrical sockets and switches and has pretty much finished installing all the cabling. The downlights are all the new LED type rather than halogen. With a run time of 77,000 hours they should see me out as well as cutting the energy bills. Alex connected them up in the bedroom so I could see how they looked. They were just as bright despite being 9W rather than 50W.
