Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The existing shower area is visible, currently with a wooden floor that is being removed. The irregular, non-straight nature of the cave walls is highlighted as a significant challenge for installing the new flooring, which will involve 'picture framing' around the outside edges.

Tools and materials

  • Angle Grinder Makita — Cutting and shaping the rock-like walls
  • Circular Saw Makita — Cutting composite decking boards
  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — Fastening and potentially drilling
  • Hearing Protection — Protecting ears from loud tool noise
  • Reciprocating Saw DeWalt — Cutting and shaping the floor base
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes from debris and sparks
