Glass splashback or . . .

Have you considered @pocster's walk on glazing leaned on the wall?

 

He'd probably give it away by now, if you collect.

 

Bristol is only at the far end of the Kennet & Avon. You can tie it to the side of the boat like a glazing van. I seem to recall that you are west of London?

An excellent suggestion . It could form part of a contemporary art exhibit.

See through glass narrowboat floor - not sure you'd see much though ?

In our ensuite we have showerwall panels Urban Concrete in our shower and we definitely don't want the panels on any other walls as it's 'too much'.

 

The bathroom cabinets are a grey colour from Roper Rhodes and the vanity has a granite top not dissimilar to the Urban Concrete.

 

We need something on the back wall of bath but aren't quite sure what. Tiles are a definite no as it has to be easy to maintain and clean and after showerwall I'd never have tiles again. 

 

We somehow acquired a piece of smoked glass which is from a walk in shower. I think when we got one shower ex display it got put in with it accidently and we are thinking it could look pretty smart as a splashback. It's 200 x 116 and will fit along the back wall behind the bath nicely but it's around 4mm thick and large. I'm guessing it can't be drilled as it has the triangle printed on it so probably is toughened?? Thoughts and advice on using this and how to attach smoked glass to the wall??  Is there some form of bracket we could use? It's a solid wall.

where is your bathroom furniture from? I am looking for something similar!

Wall behind the bath . Nice flat screen tv that has a long multi jointed arm so you can bring it out and have it face you when in the bath ?

Shopping trollies, cycles and beer bottles.

... any more ‘confessions of a window cleaner’ you would like to share ? 

That family was the perfect customer : super polite, thoughtful,  appreciative, perceptive....

 

' Ahhh, well its not just the window cleaning we appreciate,  with you we don't have to worry about security...'

 

That was true, as was the following exchange during the post Christmas clean ... with a wink to her husband, a RN frigate captain, I said,

 

"I see maam, we've both been passed over in the New Years Honors List ... again..."

 

" Nay, nort quite, Ian, nort quite"...

In with both feet again eh lad? I could have checked the list I suppose. 

 

Without prompting Mrs X  would just have continued smiling quietly. 

 

"A GCMG for my husband ... better than my OBE by some margin, what? "

 

I beamed , delighted but also puzzled; what the Hell was a GCMG?

 

Reading my reaction,  "God Calls Me God", she said helpfully.

"But His authority does not extend to this hice, I can assure you. "

Husband and I both winced and got on with it.

It's Roper Rhodes Hampton Moccha. The vanity unit has a solid granite top. The single unit doesn't. Both purchased separate from Facebook marketplace individual people - new but never installed. The whole furniture range and granite worktop including RR toilet, sink and taps was less than £800 significantly less than Roper Rhodes (and we sold the taps and got some Hudson Reed ones).

I'm not sure in rural Shropshire there is any taste for contemporary art!

There's this rather agonised looking lion, if we count central Shrewsbury as rural.

 

I wonder why it looks like that? It could be an early version of the cat pencil sharpener.

I went dancing there a few times in the noughties.

 

None of the ladies were up for engaging in the naughties.

 

But very nice dinners.
