Making a big splash

Although I think so far, we’ve done a really good job of restoring the hall and kept it something-like within budget, I doubt anyone could accuse us of rushing it. Some of my decisions have triggered a lot of ‘learning opportunities’ but one which seems to surprise most people is how long we’ve managed without a proper toilet.

Being a camping (or glamping?) barn we were anticipating a few hardships and have up until this point managed quite well with our trusty porta-loo but with all of the tank fittings and vents connected, everything sealed to within an inch of it’s life and power to the macerator, we now have a functioning toilet.

Before we can declare it ready though, we’ve managed to source some wall-tiles which compliment the flooring really well and will provide the waterproof backing to the toilet wall, hopefully preventing any further damp which has crept into the building whilst it’s been empty over lockdown.

Still more work to do but overall, it’s starting to come together and now the small rear window has been repaired (small paint issue) we now have a loo with a view.
