  1. I've seen some tiling that you have look at twice to work out just how they did it so bad. Getting someone to admit they did it poorly is the biggest hurdle, and if you get any money back it's a bonus. Most will shrug it off and walk away, then it's down to yours and their interpretation of what was expected / asked for and what's been delivered. Regardless of title or procedure it's not a simple process, and it's down to you keeping a calm, firm tone and simply to keep pursuing the individual with 100% conviction, stating over and over again that this issue will not go away and needs to be rectified. Materisls can often be assumed as write-offs, and as you'll not want the same jerk back you may never see a penny of remuneration unless you've been prudent enough not to pay them ( until satisfaction and completion ). Deffo a sticky situation but it's best, imo, to get things corrected, even if it's at some additional cost
  2. Hmmm. Food for thought ?
  3. @Onoff Are the quick change tap thingys universal fitting? Never saw them until you showed them off. Any chance of a link ?
  4. Cheapest ones of course ! Tbh I usually end up just using my expensive hand wipes but when in customers house I just nick their b wipes
  5. Get bath with tap holes ready drilled . All come at standard centres for deck fillers so you won't go wrong . Drilling baths is a dangerous game and I still don't look forward to doing it even now. Some pics of how I fitted a bath today Batten on first, Sikaflex EBT and screws, then a generous bead of same on batten tops and the wall where the bath makes contact with it. More goop to fill any void from the top and then use a plastic packer / spreader to shape it into a 'liquid up-stand' as shown. Clean off any excess with wet wipes and leave to cure. ?
  6. I'd do what with a where now?
  7. Fair do's Tom, they look the dogs bollocks. ? Some pics of the tiling next please, to see what I'm up against
  8. Sweet. 10.8 v makita for change of £12! Ordering 2 tomorrow. ??
  9. @craig Afaic, you've stood your ground, 'behaved' admirably, and offered transparency which is good enough for me. A bumpy start but ? happens . Stick around ?
  10. Yea yea....... BT have issued a mugshot of the suspect.
  11. Only ok if you don't want a connection on site .
  12. Only when it's ringing .
  13. That's better. I knew if you applied yourself properly you'd pull it out of the bag Its down to space and centres now though. A better option is cut the existing tee out of the vertical pipe and put the corner branch there. No need for any Y branches or flow management then, plus both pipes will be in the same void at the same level so 'hidden' until they rise vertically under the WC's.
  14. Nope. Flat Y branch on a run with no fall I would have last night but my wife wasn't home and I'm not allowed the sharpener ?
  15. Not ideal TBH as that creates the 'stall' I mentioned. I'll actually post a pic ASAP.
  16. That's exactly what I would do TBH. If you get them involved it'll be time, and possibly expense. Oh, and more time. Any decent sparky can pull this kit and reinstate it. We can talk you through it if you wish . Some pics of the installed line etc at boundary to house may help. Drop wire ( overhead ) or underground at mo?
  17. We'll review this exchange tomorrow and see where we go from there There are no big fish in this pond.
  18. @Dee Ill do a pic later .
  19. It was one of these @Dee Linky McLink
  20. Are they both under the boards / in the void, or are they entering the soil pipe at different heights? Edit : will there be two separate connections to the vertical pipe, or one that tees for the first loo and then continues on to pick up the second one? So one run rather than two separate runs to each loo?
  21. Yup, my mates got the Dewalt and he's hammered it for years. Still works like new.
  22. Our own crofter has a great blog about his 'wee hoos' here... And welcome to the forum .
  23. Good idea. A rotary laser would be a nightmare for tiling, and you would benefit from the cross-line too, but cross-line isn't essential as almost all of your setting out will be on the horizontal TBH.
