Yes, read that. But, but but. I'm living with mistakes made long ago. The configuration of both the foul wastes and the window (smack bang in the centre of the north wall) together mean that we cant have a screen. But - to get through the Regs - we will need a screen of sorts. We will erect a temporary shower curtain, wait until sign off, and then take it down. Which is why I am grateful for @Onoff's advice (and others) to tank the place to oblivion

Hmmm. Already worrying about that. Tanks for the heads up....

Right then. That's what I want to hear. I'll start next year then (after the divorce)?

Hmmm, very interesting indeed. A Know-Nowt like me reads as follows and and and to cap it all off here's yer man who says ... Sho, shum shay, top down, others bottom up I have come to know and trust all of the contributors to this thread. Does this mean it doesn't matter? - Just Bloody Start Somewhere, Anywhere - and cope with the consequences?

Yes. Network, network, network. With the accent on work..... Its not easy

For a self-build, the business case for something like KwikStage (others available) is compelling. Just about to sell ours and expect to get back what we paid - roughly. Have you looked at the rental costs? Heaving KwikStage around under trees and near hedges would be a real pain in the Botticelli.

Our wetroom. I feel sick. And for months I have been doing other jobs instead - not that there's any shortage of them. But this particular one fills me with dread. Here goes. What have we got? This..... The North wall The south wall The east wall The west wall ( all bar a little bit) and we'd like to use a Wedi Riofino base for the shower bit - like this I dont know how many times I have dipped my big toe into @Onoff's posts - many many times. And while its been instructive, its also itemised what I can get wrong. Geberit Sigma frame and AquaClean Tuma already bought. And a small Geberit hand wash basin. SWMBO has the tiles detail. Small area of electric underfloor heat ( a square meter or so) On the east wall, we'd like Multipanel. Elsewhere tiles. Lets start with a simple question: walls before floor or the other way round?

Due Diligence !

Welcome - Kiwi (or maybe the Scot?) There's a significant contingent from North of Hadrians Wall - the rules for you are a little different from the English rules. Some members are quite open about their location, others not. Have a look at the signature used by the person posting - that might help you to make contact. I expect you'll be up in Glasgow at the end of May? If so, might see you there.

Price will, in part at least, be about location. Where do the bricks need to be delivered?

Hmmm, well the Germans strike again. Two sinks from Victorian Plumbing £119. 90 - shipping £23 Two sinks from reuters.de (Geberit) Euro 128 - shipping Euro 17.80 Other Charges £15. Where d'ya think I ordered from?

The answer to that's easy Gary. You have forgotten more about building than I will ever know.

For once, I can say - yes, I have got that one under control. Do I get £200 and avoid jail?

Looking at the elegant simplicity of a simple bowl acting as a sink - unencumbered by taps or soap holder - lulled me into a false sense of preparedness to buy..... Easy to clean, I thought Easy to install, I thought Simple design, I thought - I like that. But then the other bits of my brain woke up. No overflow No taps How is it fixed to the surface? What happens if a grandchild grabs the sink and pulls? How d'ya clean round the bottom of the outside of the bowl? Snog, Marry, Avoid?

Yes @dpmiller ... all the way round....

Haaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, many of us have one o' them ? Trouble is they're always right. Cant help you with your current question , but when it comes to procrastination - oh boy have We Got News For You ...... read this lot and weep.

?

Most of my liquid anhydide screeded floor look like this ... and to me that looks OK. But in one or two places, it looks like this .... If I can, I'd like to make good those 10mm. What should I use, please?

Sorry to hear your predicament; you ask for suggestions - Yes, we'll all like to look at what's done so far - most of us on BH are as nosey as a dog with debts. The company has disappeared but the drafts person will not have done so. If you know the name of the architect (draftsman or woman) , have a look at the architects register and see what you can find. Find out if the company has an arrangement for other architects to take over their existing work: leaving customers in the lurch is very dimly viewed by the RIBA Rattle the grapevine again and see what has happened to the people in the company. Network locally and see if an Architectual Technician will finish your drawings for you. Upload the drawings - looking at those will give us better idea of what needs done next (pdf format'll likely be best)

I am sure I have heard that acoustic sealant would help. I will dig around and find the reference...

Why didn't I think of that now.....? The sensible thing would be to find a well-regarded XML Schema and use that: but I haven't got the time.

No. It certainly isn't the best. It's just one way of many. Different people see and understand things in different ways: some prefer information presented graphically, others in text, others with a bloody great big felt tip on the wall. A few prefer simple conversation. I have found that it reduces stress to present the same information in several different ways: means more work for me but Hell, I'm only doing this once. Some (... wimmin ?) only need to be told once. No need for fuss or diagrams or stuff like that. My coat's already on ... I'm off ?, don't worry.

A photo, or plan (or both) would help us help you better ......?

But you do put that sound insulation stuff in that 10 mm gap ? - sorry can't remember the trade name : what isit?

Here's too much detail about the ICF we chose.
