Onoff

I've purchased brand names from Appliance Direct before no issue. Also running two ElectriQ Android boxes here on two old tvs. Assume they have fingers in many pies. https://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/about-the-appliance-industry/manufacturer-information/4057-electriq-appliances

Only just read this sorry! The concrete edge is where I shuttered and squared off the wall footings to make it easier to eps it. Eps over the concrete edge, stuck with Soudal low expanding foam. The inner leaf dpc is at the joint just under the pipe which was originally the room's ffl. That incidentally was 60mm higher in places than the rest of the house, to correct this was one of the reasons I embarked on the "big dig". I painted the blocks up to the dpc with liquid waterproofer then chucked dry sand at the second coat: Then glued perimeter eps on with Soudal low expanding foam: Imho I think your 50 sand blind is way too thick. I just got my hard-core v.level and the sand was just a token thing. The eps does all the work protecting the dpm.

Ta but too late. I've cut the waste through the wall back that far.

I wonder if I could make a bitsa from the two:

Too much money for one of those chromed telescopic things! It's pretty much all hidden within the pedestal so would be a waste! I'm going to put a white (upvc?) panel up the bath side of the pedestal anyway. On with the search!

Found this but was after something asap: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-25-or-1-1-4-INCH-Trap-Waste-Extension-for-Bathroom-Basin-Sink-Thread-/262625506557 According to S'fix though it's for converting EU to UK wastes: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-s12a-f-1-bsp-eu-uk-coupler-white-32mm-x-32mm/4483V?

What's it made of?

Seeing what's what tonight with the sink. I know, a half or no pedestal would have looked bettet but SWMBO likes this, the original sink that came from Hombase with the bath. It's a tad out. Weird as the floor is level. Nothing some careful packing won't sort. It's pissed too in the other direction, Again tile is level. Main issue is the anti syphon trap sits too high. Why? Because somebody didn't allow for the tiles! Tbh I did think about it but just assumed there'd be enough vertical adjusment to cope. It's 10 - 15mm I reckon. Anyone point me at waste "extension rings" please? Seen some McAlpine ones at 1" but that's too long. Cheers

Could you attach the pump to the other end and try and shift anything in there "downhill".

With the harsh light of the site light showing up loads of imperfections.... I need to put some silicone around the chrome pipe cover so any water from the wet room corner doesn't track thru where the pipe enters the wall. Thinking CT1 overkill. Maybe a horseshoe bead of standard silicone? Looks better from a couple of feet away:

I've repaired damaged foil faced pir with heavy duty Bacofoil before. Bit of spray adhesive, job done.

Needs a bloody good clean I know that. Powdery residue that seems to take an age to get off. Was debating hoovering the walls with the stiff brush attachment? A few bits too of excess grout need to be removed along with some silicone smears. Silicone done though I'll probably faff and touch a couple of bits up. Sink next.

Glow in the dark skull anyone? https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/anet-a8-3d-printer.82829/page-36#post-1298847

Tonight I ventured back into the bathroom and had another crack at the silicone! As @Construction Channel wisely said "less is more". 5mm is thus my go to size now and imho it looks infinitely better. Simply put there's less silicone to screw up, mistakes are smaller etc: There's nothing that'll cover up sh!t tiling though, it is what it is.

Anyone take a punt at what bricks these are. Sourced and bought in west Kent is all I know!

I'd put coping atop the wall.

Yes, is that solid or a cavity wall. Are there any high points the water could be getting in, down and under the roofing?

Not trying to spend your money but there are companies that do it. This one picked at random (Bolton): https://roofinvestigations.co.uk/dye-testing/

Red wine...stains...got me thinking... How about UV dye? Make the solution up and pour over ONE area. Let it soak through and get a UV light on where those track marks are. For example: https://uk.trotec.com/products-services/measuring-devices/leak-detection/tracer-dyes/luminate/

Don't do this, WAIT for someone more knowledgeable to comment... That inside concrete reveal under the roof lights, could you paint that with black concrete paint so you can see if water runs down it. Thinking bare concrete will soak anything up?

Love it. Hope you painted the ends of the cut Unistrut!

Why would you want to encourage the use of FB etc?

Didn't @NSS say the electrochromic glass has limitations at night? Something about having to fit curtains just to prevent the neighbours seeing his crown jewels? ?

After one team building day out on some huge Derbyshire estate involving planks, barrels and imaginary shark infested waters to cross, I hung behind our group and hid a bunch of stuff to screw the next, competing team. The organisers went apeshit looking for the culprit. Kobaayashi Maru mate!
