So @ProDave reckons his handle to privacy lock centres are 55mm as dictated by the lockset. As my handle and privacy catch are separate it's up to me. He's got proper doors whereas mine are cheap crap. Thinking I should space the two elements out more? Handle at 940mm, privacy at 825 gives me 115mm centres 45mm between escutcheons: Too wide apart still?

Ta.

Would you mind please, measuring the centre of the handle to centre of the privacy latch. Cheers

I don't get this...is it 54 or 60mm backset???

These doors are temporary whilst I dig up the room next door. Nice oak ones eventually!

Further constricted by the el cheapo door construction that only gives a 360mm length of anything solid to fit the lock set. I guess though that's ample for whatever height they need to go.

Is there a recommended height for door handles? Some BS EN or Part M thing? Got to fit this magnetic catch to the bathroom door along with the privacy latch which I assume goes below. Guessing there's some standard that puts everything relative to the lock rail? In my case the magnetic and privacy units are separate so to some extent I'm governed by the need to space them so the escutcheons don't clash. Cheers

Ideally you need them in a range of sizes. Smaller ones fit in tighter spaces:

There's some interesting stuff about increasing loft volume in the permitted development guidance. I was looking as I'd like to convert the hips to gable ends.

I did wonder seeing the orange juice on the pub table the other day. Knew it wasn't yours!

Let's hope the council aren't reading this! ?

However many pages, I'm sure 50% will be pi$$taking!

Congratulations!

Have a look here at the bottom of the link at the installation bit if you want to add legitimacy to the idea. I used the red Polypipe panels btw as did I think @PeterW Not sure if I would again as I reckon I'm au fait enough now to clip straight to the pir but it's damn quick and easy! Pretty cheap too. https://www.polypipe.com/housing/polypipe-underfloor-heating/solid-floor-systems

The ballast is just sitting there waiting to be mixed! Hardcore at the ready. There's a new wind in my sails at the moment seemingly!

I know you have to be bloody careful what you stick on glass to avoid it cracking. Especially if you stick "it" to one leaf only on commercial DG units.

I was given a free shed and didn't stop to think! I merrily went ahead, picked a spot out and excavated it. I build a base with a decent slab with a DMP underneath. I then built dwarf walls from some left over stocks and Celcon blocks and erected the shed on top. Tbh I should have chopped the thing up for firewood and sold it at the gate in bags putting the cash towards a proper shed! Given the available area it's not big enough to swing a cat in. But we are where we are... Looking then to, as cheap as possible, add a small side extension on. (Tbh I want to knock down the treehouse and wendy house elsewhere and build a 30m2 passive esque shed come garden room with green roof but that's for another thread). I'd put the little extension in the excavated bit where the water barrel is: The site slopes so I was thinking maybe cast a waterproof concrete wall on 2 maybe 2.5 sides and key a new slab into the existing one. If I cast the base first with some rebar sticking up around the edges then the walls later I assume I'll get seepage through between the new L shaped wall and base? Or do I cast floor and walls in two hits then just paint the outside with a liquid DPM? This is tbh only to store a few garden tools, old knackered cement mixer etc. I'll strap a sturdy door post to the existing shed side and make some double doors. As to how I integrate with the existing felt roof...

I'm convincing myself that minimalist is the way to go and that the cupboard will provide ample storage! The only thing is SWMBO is on about having a dirty linen bin in there. Seems a bit wrong to store fresh towels in there too.

Are people fitting just plain tinted film or photochromic transitional film? https://www.windowfilmdepot.com/product/coolvu-transitional/

That reminds me, I must sort the ventilation out or there'll be things growing on the blind...

Earth tape is always an option for peeps digging trenches.

Must admit it crossed my mind as I'm not a fan of the existing basin/pedestal combo anyway. Veering towards a tall pocket over the wall. That'll be fun as it's a solid brick wall. Maybe when I gut the room next door!

Pretty sure similar was suggested to me for the pockets but of course, me being me I took heed of the words of Lindsey Buckingham.... Don't want towels over the wc and impractical in the wet room corner: White painted wall too high? No good on this wall: Over the bath maybe?

@JSHarris, what would the payback be if you were to retrofit Sageglass?

Really screwed up with the new bathroom storage wise I think. Just got the big cupboard. Would have liked some inset towel shelves for effect. Hindsight etc!
