Naaa...get some ‘Matey’ for beside the bath though... Classy

I know you want to diy the lot and hats off to you for humour, instruction and beer/bathroom pics but...I was so surprised that on the last day of our extension build two guys appeared as the mastic crew. they had every brand, nozzle and colour you could imagine. They whizzed around the kitchen, toilet and outside door and window seals in a jiffy and were a joy to watch. Obviously they had the knack and technique and every job was close on perfect. I didn’t even know there was such a specialised trade...skill you could get a business out of. if you can, get a man in, that’s all

Nice it’s like barn raising from and old American movie

Your close to the finishing tape now...keep the standards the same as slways

I like it... here we give a silver coin to anew born baby I guess to stave off hardship Anyway I’d give that fella a 50p bonus ... hey @ProDave will like that one???

What’s with the ten bob bit?

Personally I’d do the floor last and hire one of these https://www.jewson.co.uk/tool-hire/power-tools/sanders/products/5700/floor-sander/

Anyone else ever applied grout with a mastic gun i did with black grout on slate tiles as I had to walk 30m to get water from a stand pipe... quite enjoyed it too

Ooh lots of questions are you keeping a car in it how are going to span across the roof what are those big doors... glass? what about heating and is there a shower toilet in there? insulation? and finally is that a flat roof

Sink should have a template with it

Can you not run it for a bit longer...to rule out it’s not just a commissioning thing

Oh I did mine last year... converted the downstairs bedroom extension to a WC and utility room. Im glad I wasn’t as careful as you with my reading as I thought it didn’t need any BC input at all from my cursory glacé at the Scottish regs. glad I did though as an extra downstairs loo is a godsend especially if you have teenagers who shower for 45 minutes minimum

I think @Onoff and a few scrap bicycle wheels would be all that’s required the drums of various grid spacing and bobs your aunties lover from Wales

At a project I know they grade bark and have a number of drums made up in different grades or sizes think of a hamster wheel only bigger and made of grid like mesh one bloke shovels it in another turns the wheel and the graded stuff gets bagged and sold this is a project for adults with learning disabilities

Nothing ventured... time to focus on a better sex life, it’s the new year fella

Oops...you lost your shirt again ?

Sorry don’t get it...the external wall is continuous so no leaks there how can an internal wall cause it to leak?

Forum works brilliantly on a phone

Finally finishing my Building Warrant application...work has been too too busy, universal credit and alcohol abuse = destitution, vulnerability and increase in detentions under mental heath act. Frontline social work is grim sometimes so I’m gonna knock a wall down???
