I made a new door frame it has deeper rebates so I hope it is more draft proof come the winter I have made provision for some brush seals that I will install when I have given it a final coat of oil, it is another job that is not quite finished but so much better than what was there the door fits in the frame and the frame is well painted and to my eye looks pleasing.
Working on the door was a fill in job till I felt ready to get on with the new shower and have been slowly getting the shower tray ready for the big day when I will pull out the the old shower and I think we will be without a shower for a few days.
In this picture I show the stainless steel plate buried in the timber that the brackets are bolted to, there are 4 brackets to take the weight of the glass, the white plastic is s protective covering on the stainless that I will remove when all is finished you can also see the 20mm ply glued to the back of the stainless steel so it will be solid to stand on, the step will be outside the glass so should never get wet as the glass will hang down below the step and the water will just drip off the bottom edge.
The old shower can be seen to the left and is a 900mm X 700mm tray the wall linings are also very damaged and past there use by date the new tray is 1200mm X 900mm and will have a sliding glass door.
I have had my last shower in that shower and am pleased it has only been 14 months since we moved in and it will be only a memory documented here.
