Here's a few that should help.

Today I took some "Before" pictures of my old bathroom.

I'll upload them when my new bathroom has been fitted and polished off, then I'll take some "After" pics to compare.

...I might even take a "during" photo as well, for the amusement factor!

I'm hoping the bathroom fitter is going to supply one of those Porta-loo-type things, otherwise my next-door neighbours are going to get to know me a whole lot better over the coming week.
