Huge development shopping day.


I spent the whole day in Leroy merlin development shop - from early morning to 22-00 without food and drink I selected ceramic tiles, walpapers, floor covering and so on. I can not say I liked it, but it should be done and now I have everything to complete my repair process.
Since there are no standard long hangers I will create only one layer for hinged ceiling. I also bought new finish plaster for decorative ceiling smearing - looking at what it is and how it should be used I can conclude that I cound do the same with usual finish plaster (not stucco, but oil) and it could about 5-10 times cheaper, but let's see what our french friends invented. Also bought transformer and set of ceiling dotty lights - I plan to complete hinged ceiling this week, and it would be great if I could do it tomorrow.
Main thing is of course ceramic tiles - women in shop agreed that they do not like and do not even imagine how grey/blue marbled tiles on the walls (it is actually floor tiles) with blue marbled floor can look like. Then it was decided that it is man's bathroom, where everything is possible. This took about 4-5 hours. Well, let's see what my imagination created.
Wallpapers selection was simpler - I almost did not have power to spend there as much time as I did when selected ceramic, so I bought a lot of wallpapers for room, kitchen and checkroom.
Floor covering was easier - although it is a bit early, but this will force me to faster complete developemnt - various types from black ceramic granite to blue carpet covering.

Major things I missed are bricks and concrete for small podium I want to create for shower cabin, this will stop bathroom development actaully, but I plan to get them next week.

Eventually I bought all that and other stuff, which will be delivered Wednesday, so while waiting for the bus I decided to visit nearly located Auchan gigantic shop - I just wanted to find immersion heater - but I completely lost in the area of the couple of stadiums filled with various stuff - nature brought me to the area where strong alcohol drinks were sold, so I got bottle of rum (they do not have "Captain Morgan", only "Baccardi") and moved away.
While waiting for the bus and drinking some rum I decided that it was not that bad day actually.
