The bath for the upstairs bathroom arrived today. 

Note to self – check how heavy things are before you buy them!  This bath weighs in at 170 kgs.  It takes 4 men to lift it.  So far, it has only made it into the property downstairs and is waiting for us to build up the enthusiasm to take it upstairs.

It is a StoneKast Ovale bath made from a limestone resin.  It is white with a matt finish and looks amazing.  But there is no getting away from the fact that it is heavy (and that is without the water in it!).

Just measuring up to work out how we are going to get this bath up the stairs.  It came relatively well packed and arrived in one piece (unlike an Ovale basin which has now been replaced).

This was the half way house - moving it from the front of the house to the back garden took a lof of effort.  Tomorrow, we will try and get it up the stairs!
