Making use of the calm and quiet of a public holiday, at 7am we started removing all the bags of debris and rubble we accumulated from removing the tiles from both bathrooms, old kitchen tiles as well as the old pipes and the brick waste created we cut channels in walls for the new electrical cabling.
At the end we filled an entire container !

The second electrical control panel starts to take shape
To solve the problem that the second bathroom had no sink, we have created an alcove where we will install a hand sink with tap ware in the wall, located on the left wall as you enter the small room. The effect is interesting - it enlarges the size of the room visually and will create an important and functional toilet separate from the adjacent main bathroom.
