Ceiling nearly finished
This is turning into one of the worlds slowest bathroom renovation projects. Have just got the ceiling up and the cornices on. Bit of tidying up and then I will look at the bath hob this week maybe.

Nice cornices Juan.
They take a bit of time with a small tool to get the mitres just right, but they look great.

Cornices
Thanks. They came up ok.
Ended up using Gyprock Aquachek on the ceiling. Had a ceiling fixer give me a quote to install the gyprock Aquachek but when he arrived he said he would just use standard plasterboard and run the sheets parallel with the joists. This was not what had been agreed so I said I would do it myself. He was a little upset but such is life.
I put in some cross supports between the joists and did it that way. It was a lot easier.Juan

Bathroom Renovation
Yeah can't wait. It used to keep me awake at nights but now I do not worry about it - I am too preoccupied with a door jamb that is out of alignment and the damn bath hob.
I was going to build the hob out of hebel but after seeing the price of it I think I will use a pine frame and villaboard cladding.Juan

Bathroom Renovation
Hi Doog,
Have decided to leave it as an unfinished project. HA HA
No, I have been working every hour god gave on the damn Federal Election and have had no time for the beast since 5/11. Will get back to the sucker next week.
Have started building the bath hob out of Hebel.

How are you going to bed the bath in now that you've enclosed all four sides.

Bathroom Renovation
The 2 hebel blocks on the bottom right front are just levelled and supported on thin bed of sand and are easily removable. Once I finish putting all the other blocks in position with hebel adhesive and finishing the top 'cutout' it will be all solid and I will pull out those 2 blocks which are next to the waste pipe. I am thinking I may tile the walls behind and around the bath as well as the hebel top of the hob before plumber and I drop in the bath and connect with a flexidinger. Once the bath is in and set in mud then I will apply adhesive to the 2 blocks and set them back in position to close the hole so I can tile the front of the hob.
Does this sound like the way to go? I am learning to fly this sucker as I go.Juan

I havent installed an island bath - but I was under the impression that you had to put mortar under them when you set them for support. Some baths are self levelling / self supporting with plastic rubber bastings on the base.

Bath
Yes, I will put a couple of buckets of mortar under the bath before setting it in and connecting the flexidinger. Probably 1/3 fill it with water to keep it weighed down against the tiled top. Once satisfied all is ok then can close the opening at the front.

Your plan sounds very feasible then and shouldn't cause any drama.
Hope you've ordered the shower screen if you want to finish for Xmas - I got caught today - cut off for pre xmas installation was yesterday GRRR!
