The new Studio bathroom.. We had a few tiles fall off the old one and discovered there was no waterproofing between the shower and the walls and once we removed the shower that there was a rotten floor!! We now have a new shower, floor, walls and extraction. Thank you Rapa Construction and Greytown Plumbing and Electrical for coming to our rescue. Thank you also to Ian for the painting and lots of hours of work (with the odd swear word)
