Got a link to the mesh you used?

Cut the boards with an angle either side so they "fit" but there's a gap either side closest to the face of the joists. Ditto where joints butt up. Then spray the gaps lightly with water in a plant sprayer and fill with Illbrück FM330 expanding foam which is about the best you can get and super flexible as well as airtight. Cut the set foam flush and repair the foil faces with silver tape. If you foil over the joist faces too that can act as a vcl. You need ideally a 50mm ventilation gap between the top of the boards and underside of the "roofing felt". Don't block any cross ventilation.

Wet room corner & wall drain!

So that square plastic bit is like a joystick?

How about setting a flanged, grade 316, polished stainless tray into the wall to keep the existing shower controls / shaft lengths? https://www.adelphi.uk.com/product/stainless-steel-trays/

Don't know if this would fit the splined one? https://www.divapor.com/spares/bathrooms/cartridge-adapters/12mm-cartridge-spline-spindle-extender-adapter-20-spline-76mm-to-20-spline-76mm.php?

Lawn? 3D print some free draining feet. It'll still likely stain over time with rust "run off". You could periodically wipe the feet with a good dose of ACF-50.

Try some citric acid in near boiling water. Try 19:1 (5%) then 4:1 (20%) powder to water.

It's from the roof vent installation manual. Attached: 672061.pdf

Try some white vinegar. Basically acetic acid but very mild compared to traditional brick cleaning acids.

Unless it's cash 😉

You might be better siliconing a U shape on the rear of the box as in top and sides or if all sides a little gap at the bottom.

Someone on another forum asked a similar question. I said black bitumastic paint and they were happy:

Powder coat cracks, water gets in. Galvanise and paint in black bitumen I would. Galvanise and powder coat if you must but no way would I powder coat over plain steel. Is it that you're wanting a particular colour?

Even over internal doorways?

As much as I detest lowering myself to your level I can't resist. A "sleeve" I believe is the answer.

You can get plain plastic boxes or ones with preset hole positions in the back and sides. Usually for 20 or 25mm dia holes. You'll usually find the appropriate hole saw (with the pilot removed) will engage/line up with the presets so as not to slip:

I've a cold water storage tank one end of the house that feeds a downstairs bathroom bath cold and upstairs ensuite basin cold. It runs in 22mm from the cws tank then drops in 15mm to a tee. It runs in 15mm to the basin cold via a ball valve, it runs in 15mm to the bath via a gate valve. Periodically the upstairs basin cold slows to a trickle then stops altogether. To get the basin cold going I have to run the bath cold then shut it off at the gate valve after the tee then open the basin cold. There's a stop end mark X just floating in mid air in the loft. If I put an air release valve there would that alleviate the problem?

Add to the list thermostat and heater controls, appliance handles and controls. Surfaces on doors that people might push other than the handle. WC handles and buttons, taps. I've just nursed SWMBO and No.2 daughter through flu with catching it so far. My hands are cracked through using so much bleachy, Fairy laden water to wipe stuff down.

Understood and in that instance I was "lucky". It was more a case I was going on the neighbour's (whom I trusted), recommendation that the guy just needed a break. Conversely I've paid letting agents (a lot) to vet tenants who've come with great jobs and glowing references. They've turned into nightmares.

Slightly askew to the thread but ref "trades". After some bad tenant experience I was going to sell a rental place, I'd just had enough. A neighbour said his mate was desperate for a place but had had a few "issues". Said not interested. This guy turned up out of the blue when I was repairing the front door after an altercation the previous tenant had had. He was bigger than me (I'm 6'5"), covered in tats etc but seemed pretty small and at a low ebb. This guy proceeded tell me he was recently divorced, ex had taken everything, CCJs against him, new girlfriend with baby on the way. No bank account. He was working as a builder but his money went to the MiL who paid his bills. Produced 6 (might have been 12) months advance rent in cash there and then. He was renting for 6/7 years and paid early every month. Kept the house maintained to a phenomenal standard, painting, fencing, repointing & decorating etc. I said one time it wasn't down to him but he was a proud guy and just very grateful I'd taken a chance and helped them out. Only moved out due to having another kid/space.

There's is of course another bonus of making suspended floors in old properties like this airtight. It allows a leaky gas pipe to fill the void up long before you smell it... 💣😂 Another reason to pay close attention to cross ventilation to the outside, underneath whatever you do.

A142 mesh, fibres with removable timber boards at the designated crack lines. Remove and fill later? Unless your wanting a polished concrete floor?
