BathroomBathroomThis is my bathroom. Quite small, but that's really quite excellent
thing: I can take grip easily. And that grip (You can see that
in left) is nearly the only modification in my flat.
One can see the
litter-box
of my cats. Actually, I've got two!
My sauna
is below..
There's some paper
cover on floor. Floor is parquetry. It doesn't like everything.
Much easier (and really much cheaper) to do some covering.
My renovation
started
at Monday. Then the plastic carpet was removed. The Guru for measuring
dampness would arrive Wednesday. No harms doing some drying anyway!
We live in extremely northern place. When the oil crisis hit our country, we had to do something with heating our buildings. We made them extra-insulated. That reduces the need for oil. But the problem is mold then. Big problem.
It's formed when water stays in some time!
And then one gets allergy and such things...
Here's the
moisture-measuring-guru.
He does measuring through holes. My humidity was greater in sauna
than in my bathroom. Odd!
This man does quite much of the actual work. Here he takes down measurements.
First some sort of
"adhesive stuff" . that takes really strong grip to
the second stuff (You can see it in the next picture).
This is actually
the magical thing. It stops water. Completely!
With this one last place with normal concrete, I could stay
here one night more. But not more than that.
At Thursday, I had
to go. Because I had to use loo a time to time. And here it is.
But using it would cause a major catastrophe.
At Thursday night
the sauna was nearly ready.
Here the worker cuts
tiles into pieces. He has some special tool for it.
I live with my
parents
in Uusmäki. Quite near to my place, something like 2 miles
(spelling-checker would gladly accept word 'mules') or so.
I went to Helsinki city on Friday. It was quite cold then: -12.8C (=8.9F). And it had snowed yesterday.
Zillion radio-reporters said, how big surprise that was. Why?
When it rains during winter, that tends to be snow! No surprise.
Saturday? Nothing happens.
Sunday? Nothing except Name Day of Pauli.
But Monday was
really
something! I could actually move there. I thought, that Tuesday
would be it. But no, Monday gets it!
Worker looks, how another works!
Then we have some pictures. Of
sauna and of toilet.
On Sunday January
30th, 2000 my my bathroom was taken in use. Hey, that isn't very
real thing. Nut any reason or pseudo-reason to have cake.
Here Pauli gives some platters made by Arabia.
Tuuli opened the
bathroom by clipping band across the door. Which made Pauli to
cry...
I've got a
DVD-version
of "Bugs Life". And kids seemed to love it.
Here are cakes. Normally
one. But this time three!
My bathroom has
became quite old. There's some sort of "tub". But that's way too high
for me. And dangerous, too.
But the new one
makes rubbish, too. Because quite everything comes in a box. Not very
ecological.
Now here it
is! Now it should rest for next night. Then all glue goes to very
hard stuff.
