we'll all be buried before that rust effects anything, just leave it and move on. For info, this is my huge beam, i just cleaned it off, primer and painted it.

wow, thats bad. I mean my porch/canopy was shit, but thats another level. That "flashing" is basically a scam, im not sure what advice you need but at the very least that flashing needs sorting out. My builder used offcuts of an old fence (i had stored for burning) in my porch roof and cut the canopy rafters too short so added bits on the end. As its exposed it looks crap and i'll have to box it in with soffit board or something. "Most people make a feature out of the exposed timbers" he said. At that stage i just wanted them gone so i let it go, another job i need to finish.

missus says no. Possibly a traumatic experience in a quadrant shower in the past 🤷‍♂️

I just can't make a regular rectangle work in the room without it looking stupid, the lost corner of the pentagon helps me out massively but it's not something I ever thought I'd get or need. For the best part of £2k it seems mental pricey. This other one is a whole world cheaper and probably just the same. Sick of it all to be honest, no fun this.

Long shot and niche market I know, not I'm looking for a pentagonal shower and tray (1000x1000) but not finding a lot online that doesn't have abysmal reviews. I have found a "Matki-One" that appears to be quite/very high end and with the associated costs which are hard to swallow but if it's genuinely quality I'm for it. Does anyone have any experience with such an item, @Nickfromwales in all your travels have you ever came across one? Matki-ONE

I took a chipper back twice and they replaced it each time. I was 100% forcing crap through it that I shouldn't have been and each time they said yeah fine, no worries. Also my titan grinder died after a year of abuse and they replaced it on the spot with a brand new one.

Just fill it full of foam, cut it back, skirting board back on. That's what I'd be doing.

mine isnt attached to the floor at all. The only thing tethering it to its location is the ducting for the hob and a few cables.

not far off, 5m x 9m if you count all the way across to the dining area. No that is a splice on the beam as it is in 3 sections, the extractor is a downdraft on the hob. For what its worth, the 1.2m i have between the units and the island is pretty big. Its great to be able to empty the dishwasher into a cupboard and i positioned/designed purposely so i could do that, but it wouldnt be a problem to have that gap smaller in my opinion to create a galley.

Might be the way the photo is, but its 900mm at that point.

Anyone got any experience with a 980mm Geberit frame? Does the seat hit the flush mechanism and is it a problem if it does? Doesn't seem a great design choice if that's the case.

1200mm gives me this dream scenario, much like Dave.

all seem the same really. Most times ive bought "Celotex" what actually turns up is Recticel or something else quite random, cant say ive noticed anything different between them. When i had a similar situation i chamfered the PIR going up to the vent and foil taped the exposed end. I replaced the vent with a bigger flow version as well. Seems to be fine, howls a gale underneath the floor but zero drafts above it. 100mm PIR foamed and taped, but my joists were 120mm as i have UFH on top of it.

as long as your airbricks are clear id just fill that with with 100mm PIR if it was me.
