We would like to re-do the whole bathroom. Remove the bath and install a shower. replace the tiles on the wall and floor. Replace the toilet and basin and add a floating shelves under the basin. we would also like to re place the ceiling and lights. I want a rain shower as well as a adjustable hand shower. we currently have a shower in the bath but may need to move the pipes to accommodate the new design. We would also like to place the toilet in a different location in the bathroom to make it more spacious. We have an idea of the layout but we are open to suggestions. We would like to start mid March, but would like to work out the budget before then. our bathroom size: cm length by cm width.
Recently had a Mercer inverter installed. Can't understand why green light stops and goes on all the time. This is the 2nd set of batteries he got for me. He doesn't get back to me.

Deeply disappointed and depressed about the matter. This is not what i bargained for. Thank you.
