Onoff

Bump. Anyone? @Brickie on the assumption you are one? Looking to order bricks this weekend rather then any exotic gabion esque thing! Might lay them as a helix though...

Tiling is not my forte! Worst bit of the whole job.

C/w bath side shelf for oversize, girly lager glass! PRE sticking the tiles down I might add!

Do they do Lancaster Bomber on draught?

Part of the story only: Not from the start i.e all the excavation and building back up of the floor. That was on the old eBuild forum. All the pics from the start are here though: https://flic.kr/s/aHsk23FYzd

Tell my wife please! ?

Yep, been there, done that! The floor of my bath is level with the tiled floor in the rest of the bathroom. The pir is directly under this red Poly Pipe panel. I've 150mm pir total. 50mm sitting on top of 100mm. Marine ply tray set into the pir by cutting the Poly Pipe tray and removing the 50mm layer. So my bath has 100mm PIR underneath. Slot cut for 50mm waste too: Waste foamed in: A142 mesh down, ready for concreting: I taped over the ply box with DPM: Concrete in pre floating: Drying, DPM piece removed: A bit of grey floor paint, bath frame going in: Custom made feet! Being tanked: Trap access - should have made a bit easier tbh but didn't account for all the 20mm conduits in there for the lights: Finished.....'ish...

Can't think of the 70's group but as an 17 year old apprentice our firm's mechanic had been their roadie/mechanic. They would take a MK1 diesel Transit and fit a 3.0 Essex and a few aircraft seats in the back. It was a quick, incognito way of getting to gigs as in a battered old van whilst the fans mobbed the tour bus. The bonus for me was all the company cars were Fords and I had my own Ford Capri. I never, ever paid for a service part and used to get ridiculous main dealer discounts for stuff like trim. He'd waltz in to our office with a box of service parts and dump them on my desk saying "Ramps free at lunchtime!". Sometimes if he was free he'd even service it for me. My boss didn't mind as he didn't drive & I used to run him home. Happy days!

Of course no home cinema is complete without seating... http://www.skyart.com/aircraft-seats/skyline-recaro-electronic-first-class-seat-single/ My cousin in Florida had similar in his cinema / gun room. From a 747 I think ...

Waiting for the price to come down to single figures! ?

I was going to open with a Paul Hogan pic...got side tracked by Linda Kozlowski...

Part of SWMBO's late cousin's collection given to us. My lad is quite into the whole fossil/geology thing. https://flic.kr/s/aHsm3T5wq4 Tbh my favourite is, I think a tribolite, we found in our garden cracking a flint open after my brother suggested it held something good. Will try and find it. @pocster was trying to sell me his windows so I could recreate the Natural History Museum and display them behind lit glass panels! I'm loving/ intrigued by your tiles, do you buy them like that?

Call that a fossil? And as for giant poo: ?

I've nom. 470mm on mine. Loads of room. https://flic.kr/p/2esaz8q

Just bought some Sawn Kiln Dried 47×47 from Wickes. £25.27 for a pack of 6 2.4m lengths. Normally I'd buy 45x45 Eased Four Edge Treated Carcassing at £1.34/m + VAT from the local timber yard. Green tinge and easy to handle. Would have cost me £23.16 inclusive. I don't like that it's stored in the open and often wet. I suppose it sells so quickly? This Wickes stuff came six in a pack, shrink wrapped. Nasty sharp edges , worse where you have to pick the giant splinters off. One with a kink only good for cutting down, another couple with bends I had to spring out when screwing to the wall. About one step up from firewood imo. New timber isn't always good!

Just found out it was him who did the tiling that failed in the opening post pics! He never mentioned that to start with!

Don't ask me, I've gone right off concrete screws recently! Well, as of last night! Got quite a few of these 7mm Easy Drive ones left over from studding the walls out. Even back then I had the odd one not take. Thought I'd give them another go battening out the bathroom cupboard. Drilled the requisite 6mm hole. Not a chance were they going in! Makita impact gun just said no! Couldn't be ar5ed going to 6.5mm. Brown plugs and 6x90 Forge Fast screws for this lot:

Do it. Get an Evolution chop saw and you won't have to worry about hitting nails...

Would Denso tape be better?

Where in the country are you?

Or when it starts going slower and to get a new OS you need to buy a whole new car!

Loving it. I might whack a temporary handrail up on that unprotected edge though!

And wider judging by the size of those glory holes! ?

As was mine. Take comfort yours is longer.
