Bathroon finished and more damp

Hi folks,

I finally finished the bathroom, well it needs a heated towel rail but that's a job for an electrician. I could do it myself I'm an electronics tech not a biff but I'm not allowed to. I have finally finished the bath panel. I wanted to make a nice tongue and grove panel in a jointed frame with a fitted 118 mm torus moulded shirting board but I didn't have time. So I bought an off the shelf MDF T & G panel with a 90 mm plain shirting.

I measured and trimmed the panel to size, removed the shirting and replaced it with a 118 mm torus moulded shirting. Then I rubbed the whole lot down with 60 grit sandpaper and painted it with duck egg blue to match the walls. I also painted the back to seal it from any damp. I secured the panel with six bass screws and sealed the edges with silicon bathroom sealer.

I have carried on striping the concrete from the wall under the stairs. We are exposing a lovely stone wall that's a bit damp but can now breath. My daughter wanted to help honest I'm not putting her to work like a Victorian dad. They say at school she needs to improve her eye hand coordination but she picked up that cold chisel and lump hammer and was swinging away like a pro never missed once. I was quite proud my baby's going to be a builder.

It looks like the Delta Membranes system will be favourite for tanking this wall it will let the wall breath and allow moisture to drain down into a plastic drainage channel. Well it will if some knob doesn't drill into it.

Well that's it for today Guy's.
