    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

    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. ?

    I'd do what with a where now?

    @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 ?
  7. Nickfromwales
    Yea yea....... BT have issued a mugshot of the suspect.
  8. Nickfromwales
    Only ok if you don't want a connection on site .
  9. Nickfromwales
    Only when it's ringing .

    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.
  11. Nickfromwales
    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 ?

    Dees pic.
  13. Nickfromwales
    Not ideal TBH as that creates the 'stall' I mentioned. I'll actually post a pic ASAP.
  14. Nickfromwales
    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?

    We'll review this exchange tomorrow and see where we go from there There are no big fish in this pond.

    @Dee Ill do a pic later .
  17. Nickfromwales
    It was one of these @Dee Linky McLink
  18. Nickfromwales
    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?

    They died so young ?
  20. Nickfromwales
    Yup, my mates got the Dewalt and he's hammered it for years. Still works like new.

    Our own crofter has a great blog about his 'wee hoos' here... And welcome to the forum .
  22. Nickfromwales
    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.
  23. Nickfromwales
    Bloody hell, that's a quick sketch
  24. Nickfromwales
    Buy non socketed pipe lengths and fit couplers in the joist spaces. Notch the most nearest the stack and the least at the far end and you really don't need much fall at all tbh. I've run a 5m length from an ensuite previously and it had to lay flat, and I mean flat. Worked perfectly well just off the momentum of the flush and I could check as it ended in an inspection chamber. Biggest concern here is whether or not you can tee the 'middle' loo in with a Y branch and not a T branch. The flow of water from that one really needs to be directed so it doesn't stall in the pipe or split half left and half right.
  25. Nickfromwales
    Don't notch the underside of the upper joist, notch the top of the lower one. 130mm ? What are you measuring . ?
