"She" has seen this and wants "something just like that" when I eventually do the downstairs bathroom. The fact that currently there's no ceiling or ceiling joists and that the concrete floor has to be dug up means it's likely a fair way off:
So, as per my concept sketch below a long alcove level with the bath surround and of course downlights. SOLID, non cavity walls which were originally external walls. I was thinking I could bring galv conduit down in chases (from trannie(s) in the loft above) behind the tiles with a bend to a 1-way box at each downlight.
Is this the "normal" way to go about it? Even if using galv then long term I'm thinking rust as an issue.
Of course to form the alcoves I have to hack into the walls and fit/cast lintels which will be the biggest b@lls ache! Half thinking to batten the wall out with some 2"x2"
Any tips appreciated!
P.S. Forgot to add that the cylindrical things on the alcove are "bottles" of girly bubble bath in her "vision". I can see a bottle of red and a waterproof TV on the wall! :lol:
