It's in!!

We now have a fully functional bathroom! Hooray! Been a long time coming but so worth it now it's done! And no.....this isn't our bath! It's a possum who has been eating us out of house and garden these past few weeks! Finally caught!!( two of them in fact over two nights) and carted  out into the bush for a second chance of life AWAY from our Geraniums! This was a big old thing. Very placid and happily chomped away on carrots and a handful of grain as it patiently waited in the cage for our bath to be installed before Geoff could take it away!
Mark our lovely Plumber arrived and the work began!! Plug installed outside and levels set!!
Then into the bathroom it went!!
Luckily they are not very heavy!
Settled into place ...........
Then the tricky stuff began!
Lining up the waste trap and getting the legs even.
With Geoff holding the bath so Mark didn't get squished!!
No! This isn't Mark after he WAS squished!!
There wasn't much room to work in!
Lucky he's only skinny! He had a lot of bending and reaching into very small spaces!
But before long it was in......and the tap was turned on!!
Into our fabulous new bath!!
Absolutely love it! It just needs the pictures, towel rails, (all brass like this chair!!) and some new bath mats put in and it's done!
We can't use it till tomorrow once all the silicones have set........
But it will be worth the wait!
Well done us!!
l just hope this little relocated Possum is as happy as we are tonight! Just don't come back please!!!
