That or you can get tile shaped stickers and stick em on every tile for a fresh look. Bit of work but probably cheaper than new tiles. Though paint is probably the cheapest option

thats what I was gonna suggest. We did this in our old gaff in Dublin. Got the stickers on Etsy. They were grand.

If you hate the look of a tile are stickers really an improvement?

I mean I'm not against them just seems weird to think that s tsicker you like would look better than a tile you don't

Has anyone ever painted tile? If so, how did it look? I know they have special paint for it but curious how it looks.

I'd do it for a 2-3 year patch up job, but not as a long term thing. Tiling isn't that hard, it's just a bit of a pain.
How big is the offending area?

The bathroom is tiled from top to bottom. Top white, bottom black with grey bits. There is a thin decorated tile bit that separates the two. Maybe 3 inches wide? I hate it all but I was thinking if I painted that grey, it would look somewhat better.

I finally replaced the lock mechanism on the bedroom door so I can get some respite from the dog and cat at last. I was just up on the roof putting the anti-bee cap in the chimney, along with a sock drenched in bee-repelling peppermint oil. A productive day for me. Beer soon I think.

I got the bathroom floor rebuilt, put in lino and set the shower tray.
theoritically tiling is happening next weekend.
There also is an ongoing lawnmower restoration going on, that might not work out.

Our en-suite bathroom fan is really struggling to clear the moisture and we’re getting a lot of mould. Now it’s dripping water back out of the fan. I went up to the attic and found that the lads who installed it used uninsulated flexi-duct which is now absolutely full of condensed water. Cowboys Ted!

The guys who did ours just had it venting into the attic. I ducted it out through the eaves. Under the 300mm of insulation. But a problem deferred rather than solved

I have to do a full crime investigation first.

There are two ports in the roof for this I think.
neither is connected to an extractor duct.
the one above the shower in question is visible from outside, but in the attic the hole hasn't been cut in the roof felt so at the moment i'm not sure exactly where it is.
the duct with the lake in it actually refers to the other bathroom
HOWEVER
there is no extractor port in that bathroom
the roof is kind is a fake dormer idea so this duct is dissapearing into a wormhole that is really hard to triangulate where its emerging on the cieling, and to actaully work on it

This is just me thinking out loud.

what i want to do is possibly put two fans on the same duct there in series so it absolutely sends, which i thought would be an hour long upgrade. Now it's a day crawling about in a warm itchy roof prison.

Attic work is painful at the best of times

Last night the dishwasher started to make a high pitched mechanical whine when pumping water out. Google suggests it's the impeller which is shot. The machine is only two or three years old.

There are good dishwasher repair videos on YouTube. Generally the different brands are all the same under the hood, I had a fun day taking mine apart to get at the little polystyrene thing that detects the water level in the bottom.

Ours would still be under warranty I reckon. Bosch, which you would hope offers good after sales support.
