The answer to life: efficient storage.

Just a plain mirror. I've a back box there ready as I was just going to put a demister pad on the rear. For about the width of the sink it's an outside wall, brick cavity. So behind the white painted wall I've 2" battens with pir in between. With hindsight I'd have brought that studded wall out further and fitted a flush cabinet. -

Yep. Has to be 700mm wide, no more no less. 700x700, 800 or 900 would work. Tbh just haven't got around to finding one. -
And not at all unsightly!

Be real careful with sealed, box section fabrications if having them galvanised. You need gas escape holes in them. If you don't put them in the galvanisers will. They don't really care where they drill. You can end up with holes, open to the elements in the top side of your fabrication which then fills up with water!

I'll dig them out sometime. Is the intent to refinish boxes you might get or are you one of those arty farty types who likes to "preserve the patina"? -

I've a few ammo boxes here I'll likely never use. All different sizes. My brother used to get them for me when I was a kid. Started off with spent shell casings! A bit of sentimental value maybe but nowt else. The 5 gallon fuel can though I do use. -
I think SBR varies a Hell of a lot in price. I use the Cementone one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/cementone-sbr-admixture-white-5ltr/91566

I want to make them not buy them. -
Base the design on whatever capacity you end up with it won't be enough.

Back to efficient storage... Caravan esque seating. Not wanting it built in but freestanding. Close to the wall, notched around the skirting. I was thinking almost church pew style ends. End frames in ply? Can't decide whether to have a gap (4, 6"?) underneath. Thinking yes. Foam for the top, long cushions will be expensive from last time I looked. -

My mistake, the GCE was the O Level. Employers considered the CSE grade 1 a C grade O Level from memory. -

Weren't they the same thing? I got just 3 O Levels. English Language, Geography and Design & Technology. All at grade C. The rest D to U. Yes, U. My father delights in telling my kids how he only ever picked me up from school from detention. -

I'm trying to convince SWMBO to ditch the hand me down 3 piece in the conservatory which we never ever sit out in and which is covered in accumulated crap. Along with a couple of random occasional tables and the cabinet the fish tank is on: Now the bathrooms done I've lost my storage space! ? In it's place I'd like L shaped caravan style seating with lift up cushions and storage. It really would help. -
Taking a step back here, could it be primarily as Dave said the DG pans simply weren't installed properly? Don't suppose you can see the packs?

I think they're some form of low profile security slide bolt?

HND? Wow you're clever! My missus has plonked all my ONC notes in the lounge for me to "sort" as part of her current clearout of one of the hip end loft spaces. Sort...she means bin! ? I f**ked up not completing my HNC. I blame cars, girls and drink.
