Day 63: all I want for Christmas is a working toilet

AKA .. The Christmas Miracle ..
 
Twas the night before Christmas,
And in the new house,
Scott was busy tiling,
For a very nervous spouse.
 
24 hours he was given,
To do what he had to do.
For tiling the floors,
And returning the Loo
 
The tiles were difficult,
Made of some type of Carbyne,
But Scott persevered,
And got it done on time!
 
To tough to do the entire blog in rhyme. The story was that Wince and T were staying over Christmas Eve and Christmas. I wanted to finish off the tiling. Care gave me a 24hr ultimatum to get it done. They arrived at 6 and I somehow managed to get it mostly done just after they arrived. T had a very frightened look on her face when she saw there was no toilet in the bathroom. And hence came the Christmas Miracle.
 
You can see how awesome the floor is on the spirit level. Yes, this is me showing off. All is not perfect in Suburbitan however - I did discover that we were about 2 tiles too short. Measured correctly, made the room bigger, and forgot to consider that we needed more tiles. Anyway, the 2 are on order but the tile place is closed until new years.
 
Now a well deserved couple of days off DIY and enjoying some family/friend time.
