Finished, part one of a Bathroom renovation for a long time client.
A Storeroom, 2.1 x 2.0 converted into a bathroom, ensuite.
Couple of tiles under the mirror, to go.
The next stage will be, strip the existing bathroom, install a shower/bath. Existing toilet remove, install new, retile the floor, retile the laundry.

Harbour master,
That looks great.
Cheers.

Fizzie,
Yes, it is a small area, more like in size to Ensuite, but it works.
I'm 6'3", 117kg, and the shower seems small to me, but I've been in motels & the showers in some of them seem small to me.
I made ours 1000x1000 when we modified our bathroom before moving in, when we first bought.

Limited by what we have. Considered knocking some wall out for about 2 min. Wife's pretty happy so all good. Open plan living, no door. Door got final coat this morning. Then on the jackhammer ripping up tiles in the laundry. Bugger of a job. That bathroom has taken 6 months. Was going to be a quick job. Ha ha
New floor, waiting for tradies was the problem.
We can highly recommend the evershower, it wasn't purchased with this in mind I can tell you.

I had a chuckle as well, but I can also understand what he's saying though.

Just been looking at Park Passes, for both WA & NT, for our trip next year.

WA, was able to sign up for a limited membership with RAC & buy an annual Senior's pass, that covers everybody in the car, for $40 ;D

NT, each person needs a pass, not just 1 for the car, which then only lasts 2 weeks, for $30 each, or $60 annually :'(

But that pass doesn't cover either Kakadu or Uluru!  >:(

For them, you need a different pass, issued by Federal Parks, for $30 each for 7 days at Kakadu, & then $38 each for 3 days at Uluru / Olgas :o   

So WA is 1 x $40 for the year, but NT is 2 x $60 + 2 x $68 = $256!!!  :o

But we want tourists to come & visit ???
