Bathroom rebuild - Work in progress

[BillyGoat]

Love the Keene in wall amps, hate that they feel the need to stick their name in in huge letters on the front each time. Same with the white or glass frosted ones.

They should have a logo or let people pay (a couple of quid) extra to have it looking nicer.

I agree... I had a cambridge audio amp in the loft but decided on the Keene. It's not too bad and the sound is unreal for its size.

[davemulheran]

Proper job - love that laser as well highlights the standard you've set yourself


Be interested to know what the total cost would be for this - you must have saved a fair bit in labour and it looks top spec bathroom ... well done

Thank you. Any labour saved has well and truley been absorbed in materials / fittings I would say! A decent holiday missed out on at least.

Would be interesting to know if it this job has added value to the house I wonder?? (that wasn't the reason)

Dave.Bathroom and kitchen you can add value normally,so just keep the level of finish up. And I cant see you losing mate.

Love the mirror with ambi lighting iv been looking at similar on eBay, where did u get it from? Iv got the Boston acoustic ceiling speakers running off my arcam amp but that keane amp is very neat. Love your bathroom really looks good,

[Jk330ci]

Did u do the electrical work yourself? I could do it myself but not sure if I'm allowed too.

[davemulheran]

Thanks, the mirror is from John Lewis £200

And all electric work done myself

[root]

are all the electrics going to be certified?

[davemulheran]

Yep,

I hereby certify my electrical work now :)

What's the Keene amp like? I had a look on their web site and they say it's no sub for a audio amp, I'd be happy if it sounded reasonable (as good as a decent micro system or something)
What's thecnc machined Ali in the first pic? I can see an iPhone cable! Are you streaming with an airport express

[davemulheran]

The amp is superb. Handles the polks very well. Its only a bathroom, not a night club so is ample (pardon the pun)

all cables are behind, nothing is connected to the fascia, yes i have an airport express hard wired to the rear

cnc ally is a bracket for the shower screen, very trick!

[Jk330ci]

Night club! You don't like dancing in the shower? lol
Keene amp sounds like what I'm after.
Damn fine job you've done all in all, wish i had the time and the skill to do mine myself, maybe just some bits. Ill never have a go at plastering the ceiling again, Disaster.

Is the timber window in good condition? I would have thought about changing it for a PVC one at the same time as the refurb.

[davemulheran]

PVC? I think not

It is not an external wall / window. There was an extension years ago (its an 1800's cottage) On the other side is a study area.

I have removed the rubbish textured glass and will be repainting the frames with satinwood (actually the girlfrend will be) and I have some frosted glass cut ready to slot in

I will never have pvc windows other than in a conservatory if it can be helped as long as I live in period properties...
