Renovations latest!
These are the latest photographs of work progressing on the new bathroom. At this stage the first fix electrics and plumbing is complete, and new floors have been laid. The next stage will be to fix insulated plasterboard to the outside walls, and the ceilings. This should make the rooms much easier to keep warm! The windows are then being changed to new 'A' rated double glazed pvc units, before the walls and ceilings will be plastered. Then the new bathroom suite can be fitted, before the tiling and the finishing touches are addded. Still a long way to go!

Renovations update!
These pictures show the before and after of where the toilet in the w.c. used to be! Now there is just a hole in the floor as we await the connection of the pipes for the new toilet in the bathroom next door. The washbasin was replaced just 2 years ago, and is therefore being kept in place.
These pictures show the before and after of the enlarged bathrooom. Following the demolition of the wall between the bathroom and the pump room, this room will now have two windows. The new bath, with shower over, will be going under the smaller window. The new washbasin, with a mirror over it, will be between the windows. The new toilet will be under the larger window, to the left.

New bathroom
In the 1960's Thomas Reilly built an extension onto the back of the farmhouse at Millknock farm to house a cloakroom, a toilet, a bathroom, and a room for the water pump that drew water from the well. This provided the family with their first indoor toilet! In 1998, before becoming a holiday let, the toilet was replaced and the bathroom was re-tiled. Apart from this and the addition of a tumble dryer, water softener, and coin meter to the pump room, and an oil burner to the cloakroom, nothing has changed in nearly 50 years. Until now.
Starting this week (10th Jan 2011) the bathroom is undergoing some major changes. The old steel bath, and the washbasin are being replaced. The bathroom is going to be extended in to the pump room, now that the old disused pump has been removed. This will create enough space to put a toilet in the bathroom. The existing toilet is also being replaced. As well as this, the ceilings and walls will be insulated for the first time (insulation was very rare in the 1960's!), to make these rooms warmer.
