22mm. Impact is DeWalt and just one speed, it often gets a bit speedy. Wonder if I can use one of those drywall type depth restrictor bits. Probably being overly cautious but the thought of all the work required to sort out a hit pipe under this lot, doesn't bear thinking about quite frankly.

That's my plan. 25mm seems scarily close to the pipes though. I've got 20mm and 25mm screws, just to see what I dare put in. Seems 25mm is only an impact driver away from spoiling the whole party with the pipes underneath.

Great, I'll crack on then. Off work for a few weeks so I'm hoping to get the bathroom somewhere near sorted. Just spent the day setting up a temporary bathroom in the neighbouring bedroom... When you gotta go you gotta go!

I've bought this from Wickes before I even clicked on I should have got marine ply. Wickes 6mm ply Will this stuff be ok? I'll be tiling, so priming and flexible adhesive on top of this.

Yeah my shower is pretty much opposite the door as it is. Just wondering if the gypsum based vent as discussed in this thread is more prone to getting damaged from moisture being in such direct contact with steam.

Really, I was under the impression that directly above the source of steam was best.

Jumping onto this, any problems with fitting one of these Ergovents above my shower enclosure? I like the minimal look compared to the warty ones which are the usual.

the permanent tile fix. Like, forever and ever.

mine was the spacetherm stuff. This stuff in fact. https://insulationmerchant.com/products/10mm-proctor-spacetherm®-silica-aerogel-blanket-2400mm-x-280mm-0-67m?_pos=1&_sid=6a6c9b419&_ss=r

like the Gateshead flyover in Newcastle, they are demolishing the entire thing. And closer to home, the National Glass Centre in Sunderland is about to get demolished, 25 years after it was built, pretty pathetic.

i used a spray contact adhesive on my internal upright, stuck no problem.

i used https://www.stairbox.com/ for my own landing design.

my manifold has something similar to these and i found/find them useful if not vital for the setup. But obviously to retrofit would be a draindown so maybe a clip on would be better. https://www.theunderfloorheatingcompany.co.uk/product/1-isolation-valve-set-with-temperature-gauge/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22542092802&gbraid=0AAAAAD1Ow65gAx_VRbI9JILR8ijckwR5x&gclid=Cj0KCQjwr4jSBhCSARIsAOX1E-L8qu9NDV9_uDuhPT8w_ldVaAL7Rx7GMn_L-Z1GmznWEmXsUsFOWAoaAm9OEALw_wcB

Definitely not normal. If it's plasterboard then the joins should be away from any edges but that's what it looks like for me. When I first plasterboarded my front room I just stopped the board at the "easiest point" and guess what, cracked at all these places a year later. Maybe that's what's happened? For what is worth, since then I've cut my boards to keep away from any edges and it's been rock solid.

Hard to argue that it's not difficult. My own place is a refurb of a 30s semi so hardly a full build, although often I think that works be easier. I'm 4 years in and exhausted but it's just a bit by bit, what else can you do. The guys on this forum have been a godsend and it's been a real eye opener starting with practically no knowledge. Stick in there fella, it'll get better once you've got walls!

Wonderful, congratulations.

A blast from the past @Onoff, but I'm interested if this resulted in anything you regret or if you'd recommend it. I'm fitting a window this weekend and I'd thought about filling a chamber with foam so did a quick search and lo and behold, this post was found.

Contrasting opinions there, but as long as it doesn't dry out the trap I'll go for it.

Tile adhesive or traditional plasterboard adhesive? The wall is brick with cavity.

im about to run my wet underfloor in the bathroom. I was going to run it under the resin shower tray because why not, might dry it out, help with mold etc. But then its dawned on me that it might dry out the trap which is obviously no good. My trap is as low a water seal as they come, 25mm. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with the traps drying out due to UFH? Could easily not run it near the shower tray but it seems it would have its benefits. Obviously not at the expense of the bathroom stinking 2 hours after a shower.

That's the tradesman wages for ya.

Sainsbury's own good enough for ya?

Proof is in the puddin, this thing isn't leaking even though it's under water. Overthinking things as per.

In reference to my last post there. VID_20260617_174608.mp4
