I'm giving my bathtub to the builder he's on property and apparently his wife has tubs with water for the wildlife, vegetable seedling and the like so good it will be going to good use.
Today will be a bit of a clean up day, I want to empty the vanity unit take down the rails in the bathroom and toilet (they were added for the elderly lady who lived here when the place was built) I also want to see if I can get a can of spray paint for the exhaust fan cover.
Yesterday I ordered a double towel rail, a double tumbler tooth brush holder, a toilet roll holder, and a hand towel ring all in chrome. I also bought a beautiful Lene Bjerre Portia soap dispenser for the vanity. Now i'm looking for a Chrome toilet brush holder and toilet roll caddy.
We will need to pick up a few other bits and pieces once the builder starts. Grout, brackets for the wall hung vanity order the skip and no doubt there will be other stuff as well.
the exhaust fan cover will be hard to paint, due to it's shape. may end up looking tacky amongst your new bathroom.
a whole new fan would be pretty cheap from memory.
or you may even be able to buy just the cover

Hi Grizz, the cover is plastic.
Apparently there is a spray paint in a can which will do plastic, so I thought I would give it a go and see how it turns out. The fan is still in good condition, I am trying to avoid extra work for the reno man so thought I will give this a blast today, if it's scabby I will buy a new one.
I will post a picture if it turns out OK.

I knew that tidying up the Welcome Mat was worth it.
Valid points Mr Grizz.
The success or not of the painting of the grille, will make the decision for Freddie (and Mr Tapemeasureman).

One thing, just do 2 light coats, so you don't get any drips. Eventually all those plastic covers do yellow.

Good morning everyone. Today, I am waiting for a trailer and other belongings to be removed by the ex but in the meantime, I am enjoying the warm and sunny day.

It is a shame, Deb. I feel sad about what could have been.
I'll have a support person or two with me.
