Bathroom Bliss

Grub · August 25, 2006

What does a new bathroom with designer fitout and 100-odd tomato, pepper and eggplant seeds in trays have in common?

You're right. The bright idea

just came to me. My underfloor heating is one giant seed-raising bed. Add the humidity and, voila, couldn't be better.

Plus you can check on the action while contemplating the meaning of the life.

Great set-up, Grub!

All the essentials in one place. What could be better?

Ah...Have you told Ms. Grub yet???

Grub · August 28, 2006

Mrs Grub is decidedly cold about this idea. Hmmm. Who would have guessed? I have room for one tray either side of the toilet and three under the vanity. Still plenty of floor space remaining

Will introduce them slowly.

And when the seedlings need a little foliar feeding.......

Grub · September 4, 2006

Got the green light to bring in the eggplants and peppers. They fit really well on the bathroom floor.

Grub · September 7, 2006

Peppers and eggplants are now germinating thanks to the heated floor in the new bathroom renovation. And they fit under the vanity perfectly. Tee hee hee :wink:

New bathrooms are cool. They are so clean.
Don't know if I should say anything but there's a little fella squatting and I don't think hes found the new loo.

We adopted that little squatter from Freedom, that slave-labour aid agency

Heated floor is working a treat.

What do you think of the splashback? I chose it myself.

Mantis · September 7, 2006

Looks good. Who did you get to lay all those little bricks

Silly me, of course

Grub · September 7, 2006

Yeh, he's the mini-brick layer and a proud one at that. You guys are such cards.

I've been having fun lying on the heated floor with my Seed Key and identifying which ones are up and which are not.

Got some eggplants and rocoto hot peppers now. But sweet peppers are slow as a wet week.

I love your "splashback", Grub!

- we call it a backsplash - I guess not just the water going down the drain is "backward" down there!

Seriously, it looks great - very earthy. How does it actually come (certain sized tiles?)

Grub · September 8, 2006

Thanks. The backsplash (lol) is Travertine (spelling). Comes in sheets about 300 x 300. It's all uneven and that wall in the bathroom is a little out of plumb. So it works well there.
