... Overview of all remodelling work done

Complete remodelling of the master bath

Though in working condition the area was a bit tight in some spaces. As we were not sure how Maria's problems walking would develop in 2009/2010 something had to be done to make it roomier and without any steps.

We had planned it for some time but there was more important renovation to be done.
