      I take zero credit.  When we rebuilt the house the division of creative labour was @Madame Buttonfly on bathrooms, me on kitchens…..

      The glass is just a piece of 10mm shatterproof glass with bevelled edges sunk into a 12 mm groove I chased out of the floor tiles and is held in place at the top with some stainless steel marine fixings.  The lot cost next to nothing.

      The glass tiles are gorgeous and come in 300x300mm sheets and are super easy to lay...

        You are giving me great ideas for my glass @Giles !! I was honestly just going to turn on the shower heads, se where the water ran and place my glass where it needed to lol I like the idea of having a single fixed piece of glass like yours.

        And yes, those sheets of tiles look much more forgiving then the wall slabs I'm using.. luckily, grout conceals most mistakes (or so I'm hoping lol)

          @Appfaff - new shower sounds fab, I'm sure it will also look amazing.  Keep up the hard work!  😉

            Not having a shower door or curtain is a game changer

                  Got two rooms completely stripped of wallpaper this weekend. After the electrician moves/adds sockets, the plasterer will smooth everything out.

                  There are some messed up holes. Especially where they screwed furniture into the wall. And the big hole above the fireplace is a power cable that was dropped down in the plaster for a tv.

                  I can see why victorians had picture rails. I’ve pretty much decided to do no screws or nails into the walls to hang art.

                  Been wearing my bleached out OD 21oz, the work is doing them well.

                                Now I need to find someone to build some floating shelves in fireplace alcoves, while the electrician and plasterer finish their work over the next few weeks.

                                      A friend of mine has a biodynamic wine estate. Usually giving him a helping hand during grape harvest and bottling. This year we filled some wine in 3l bag-in-boxes. From an ecological point of view this is much better then the usual double magnum bottles.

                                      God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson
