It's a 2.4m room.. When I did the loft conversion too the roof off completely and did pozi joists top and bottom.

Actually, mines got valves on it.. Like this one

I've got an irrigation setup with similar timer. I used a splitter on mine, which allows me to still use the tap without disconnecting the system!

Like this? Feels strange to be seated on the throne and not facing a door.. Its that unnatural?

I'm borderline on going full wet room, it just having a large shower tray with half screen. There was the possibility of having a bench seat built into the wall next to the shower (for hair washing, leg shaving etc..) like the third picture..

Starting my upstairs shower room and toilet.. Blank canvas. I've already got a layout that works, what I'm asking for are any tips and 'things that went wrong' or 'we wish we had'. Relatively small budget, expecting most of it to go on tiles to improve the 'look'. Maybe I'm just over thinking it, but thought I'd post in case anyone had any advice. It's in a timber frame loft conversion, pozi joists floor and ceiling. one external wall. My plans are roughly. Marine ply floor tanked, tiled. Tanked Tile backer walls, tiled. Centrally placed 4" humidity sensitive extractor, flexi to wall in ceiling. Tall Towel rad next to shower. Soil stack exits top right next to WC.

Undoubtedly. But accountability is something we should be fighting for. Right to repair it's one thing, right to functionality should be in there too. Perhaps a legal precedent case, the public vs Google. Something sold as smart should remain so for the lifetime of the product (20 years seems reasonable)

Nothing will change as long as people keep spending money and nobody complains. Time to start drafting letters to MPs

Whilst I understand that companies projects must eventually be discontinued, if you buy a smart thermostat you don't expect it to be bricked by a company that can afford server space to keep it running. Smart devices should be backed up with a service guarantee for at least 20 years. It should be written into consumer rights.

Magnetise some iron fillings and dust the wall with them? That will find your screws quickly

Just a thought, but for the same amount of effort, you can strip the grain out of the wood rather than sanding it. Given that it's already rough timber with damages, you'll hide and imperfections rather than highlight them. 20240611_180109_2.mp4

I trust the beam more than that hook. (not a structural engineer) At worst there will be 20kg hanging from that, and the beam can take it, that hook maybe not. How fancy does it need to look? I'd trust a plate fixing with a ring in it. 4 screws are better than one.

I love in a very hard water area. It's cheaper to use salt rather than two tablets per wash. Without that the glasses go cloudy

The only decent WiFi feature of ours is the notification that the rinse aid and salt is running low. And being able to check how long they're is left on the wash from the sofa.
