Onoff

Edit: Checking back and it appears I gave the wrong advice above! You half full the bath then GROUT. Once dry, empty the bath & go over it with silicone.

Ref that last photo, rather than grout you ideally want to half fill the bath with water so it "sinks" down with the gap open as wide as it'll go. Then fill with CT1, wipe flush and let it go off for 24hrs at least. (That can obviously be a problem if you want to use the bath). You then go over the CT1 with a silicone bead of your choice that you replace when grubby.

Step by step from @Nickfromwales here:

Little st/st mounting, bezel thing for the video doorbell. Made from an old door kick plate stick welded with 316 rods. Need to knock up an internal plate with a couple of rivnuts on and tack that in:

Buy the cheapest one you want in whatever material, copy and 3D print it matt black. ...or spray it! ?

Or the £6 - 800 jobbie @pocster was salivating over! ?

Is the toilet pan already in and the 90mm pipe comes off of it and down through the floor? If so how about this, £5.98 from Toolstation. Link just for better info: https://www.wolseley.co.uk/product/mcalpine-outlet-straight-4-110mm-x-31-2-90mm/#:~:text=%2F2"%2F90mm-,McAlpine MAC-3 outlet straight 4"%2F110mm,x 3.1%2F2"%2F90mm Check your local stores as not available for delivery: https://www.toolstation.com/mcalpine-macfit-wc-straight-connector/p68770 Or: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-macfit-mac-1-wc-straight-pan-connector-white-90-112mm/78806

The McAlpine fittings are much better quality than the Floplast stuff. Dimns of a couple of McAlpine connectors for instance:

Psst, want some roller plans? ?

If Everedge is good enough for the National Trust and @Gone West... What diameter rings? Just slice up an old 50gal drum maybe? Just make damn sure it's degassed and vented or fill with water and cut top down.

The National Trust do! ? Developers are cladding complete skyscrapers with it in London! You definitely want a rolled, "safe" edge if using steel. Imagine falling on it! ?

Are you sure its not CorTen, "weathering" steel? Rusts for a few years staining everything in site ? then stabilises and settles down. Edit: I think I'm right: https://www.facebook.com/pg/UK.EverEdge/posts/

What's the hatch for? Big, small? I've got this kit: (Bloke makes it look hard work but then he is using a DeWalt drill!)

I've found it lasts longer if you tack roofing felt or a strip of dpc to the side of the timber against the soil/grass.

What's the finish on that?

How about corrugated, galvanised steel edging. For example: https://www.selections.com/set-of-6-galvanised-steel-lawn-edging-rolls-16.5cm-x-5m? Shop around of course. Search "steel lawn edging". Might sit well with your Armco barriers elsewhere.

I'll print some and spray them silver!

It did cross my mind too!

Test "washer" laser cut out of mild steel. One of these in stainless will go under the dome nut above the down lighter.

No it won't...hopefully! I won't be posting up for instance where all the power, access control, camera stuff is being run specifically.

Cap stones can go on next! ...after I've given the bits of steel box I can reach inside the pillars a coat of car body underseal. I hopefully won't be getting to them again. That is until the Tesco, Amazon, DPD etc van driver, destroys the pillar(s) one day! ? I still need to figure what I can paint onto these relatively freshly cast cap stones. I thought something breathable but a painter at work reckons I should apply a proprietary sealer then a masonry paint? I want them to end up painted black.

The unfortunate thing with these steels is they were never galvanised originally. I'm a bit concerned about internal rust over time. As much as anything it, the rust, might drip out of the open bottom. Planning to squirt something up inside like Waxoyl or more likely ACF50.

I make a point of taking any rough edges off with a needle file/emery cloth. Nothing worse than sticking you finger in a hole and pulling it out covered in blood.

A smidge of aluminium anti seize on the M4 screws: A horse shoe of silicone grease: Nut 'em up: A good hard rub round the rim with a moist toilet tissue to get rid of the excess lube...and roughly what it'll look like finished. Still awaiting someone coming back who's hopefully laser cutting me some Celtic cross washers to go under the stainless dome nuts!
