Membrane

Two of the three bathrooms will have showers. Zero of the two showers will have shower trays. 

To make up for the lack of trays, we needed to find an alternative waterproofing solution to avoid any potentially nasty surprises in the future. Honestly, water damage is the stuff of nightmares.

The first bathroom, the ensuite, was relatively accommodating for the application of liquid membrane. Just a few sweeps to get rid of any remaining dust, and two coats in two days got the job done.

Piece of cake.

The second bathroom, i.e. the one downstairs, was a little less unforgiving. You see, when we coated the entire ground floor with cement, we failed to look into the solidity of the existing bathroom floor. And well, only two-thirds of it was solid. The other third could be easily dug up.

Not a piece of cake.

Thankfully, there were some spare bags of cement and a wheelbarrow lying around. With the help of my dad, we levelled out the floor with a fresh coat and left it to set before sweeping away the excess dust and dirt. 

It was one of those abrupt problems with an equally abrupt fix, so I didn't have to dwell on it too long. I did have to endure another mind invasion though.

I live in your head rent-free.

We did end up having to dig up even more on the other side of the room where the shower is going to be, to create enough depth for the floor drain, before everything could be sealed off. Suffice to say, it looks a lot less pretty than the ensuite.

Looks like one of those wrinkly dogs.
