Bodgy the Builder

Simon and Becky went to do a couple of hours work at Crispin Drive tonight.  One of the fittings on the towel radiator in the bathroom was loose so Simon decided to investigate why.  Like in many semi-detached houses of its age, it turns out that the toilet and bathroom had once been separate rooms and someone, somewhere along the line had knocked them into one.  Except this is how they tackled the hole where the toilet door use to be.


Yes, they left the door in situ, tiled over it  on one side, the stuck some blocks  on it to attach the radiator screws to on the other.  They boarded the whole thing up with a sheet of plyboard and wallpapered over it. Typical of the DIY efforts that we keep finding in the house.  Looks like Simon's wall building skills will be put to use again soon.  We're gonna have to source some tiles the same as those already in the bathroom, which was one of the rooms we weren't intending doing much too, but I guess we could have found worse DIY disasters.  We still might!
