It's about 500mm away, looks closer with the angle of the picture. The screens obviously not up yet, but will be a single slider with a fixed panel in 10mm glass, so the bath is in front of the fixed panel leaving excellent access through the sliding door.

Either that, or if need a bigger ensuite! Lol.

All looks grand. In the first floor WC, is that a hinged door or have you sunk a drawer into the wall/ boxing?

It's actually a large drawer frontal that I made into a drop down door using cabinet stays. Inside is a carcase about 400mm deep with the waste and h/c pipes in. Depth and the waste position made it awkward to make it a conventional drawer.

Lol, exactly what I was thinking looking at the pics.

Stunning job though. No problems finding somewhere for yourself when you need some peace & quiet.

Are you going to have a team of cleaners in every day to keep the place tip top? Don't fancy running the hoover round the whole place!

The master bedroom walk in wardrobe is finished and ready for carpet.found some cool led lights

It's really coming along now. It's been great seeing it from the start, thanks for keeping the thread updated.

Can you tell me where you got those lights from, I'm looking for something similar?

Guy seems to have stopped answering his emails, might give him a call later (wondering if my mail's heading for his spam folder, I've bought several times from him before) but time's running out, we start the work next week.

He might be away at a trade show... Couple of girls in his office are very helpful as well. I can see if i can dig out some email addresses if that would help?

Not the greatest picture but this shows what we've done (in 2m lengths):

Well the carpets are due to be fitted in about 3 weeks, and a load of furniture is due about the same time, so must be getting closer !

Still the whole ground floor to do though... So not a rest in site yet!
