You could be making a rod for your own back here, offering such services....you'll have to create an STL file first though!

Love it! ?

Pretty sure I read somewhere that EPS, even though it's closed cell can potentially absorb 6% water by volume IF SUBMERGED FOR A YEAR. To do with micro cracks in the surface. I'd take those odds under my slab all day long. The fact it's generally laid anyway on a draining aggregate makes the argument against pretty null and void. Interesting further reading in how some worms and beetle larvae can happily live on EPS and that their droppings are safe as a fertiliser. Could be the Passive house version of the termite!

You just know that something good is going to happen, they've the freshest moves you've ever seen...

Was going to do the deck lights...didn't: Didn't realise the front plate needed a bigger hole! Out with the tile file: A horseshoe of silicone; All baby wiped off. Stuck the riser thingy up too: And put the flush plate on as well. YES I know it's off centre. Realised it would be pretty early on during tiling.

Found a bit of a discussion here; https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/velux-window-wont-open-fully.80555/

Fill to the top to simulate water + 1 person? (Or 2! ) Am I better leaving the bath full whilst I silicone around where the bath sits on the tiles? Am I aiming for a filet against the bath lip / tile or should the lip be sitting down in a bed of silicone? Cheers

Ta. Got some exterior stuff that should do for that.

Do I run a very small bead of silicone around where the tiles meet the ceiling? (I forced grout in here on the walls I did. SWMBO didn't). As an aside, I am going to run round this edge with a radiator roller / paint shield and re paint with the Dulux Matt Diamond.

Liking that a lot. How does that vertical timber on the left attach/support the roof if that's what it does or is it just a feature?

Apparently I don't listen! SWMBO HAS found the colour she likes: However...it doesn't match the blind. Now found that B&Q do Valspar bathroom paint that they'll colour match. The blind will be the next argument. She wants it on the outside of the reveal. Pointless imo and won't help with the cold spot of the cheap 2G window. I want it inside the reveal by the window. I've just been informed (allegedly I was told previously) that it's a patterned blind we're having: I SH!T ye not!

Ta. A PRACTICAL comment! Regular, but decent silicone I assume rather than sh!t to blanket stuff like CT1 is what I'm thinking? I've a couple of new tubes of Forever White here that I reckon'll do.

I more lurch from one crisis to the next and then manage it to death. What colour, like I know or care!

- I've to solder that lead to the LED strip that goes up in the long pocket. - Fit & test the extra plinth lights along the side and decide on ones on the end or not. - Fit bath end panel - Grout bath - Silicone where wall and floor meet. Got a Mapei grey. - Colour match silicone (white) any gaps at the various trims - Run a cold mains supply to the basin up in the loft. Could be an issue as I've a single hole mixer tap and the hot is gravity fed. - Shower plate to go on. Do I silicone between the back of the plate and the tiles? Presumably I don't use CT1? - Shower handset / riser to go on. - Wall drain cover to fit - Flush plate to go on - Wall mount WC to go on. Plenty of questions coming! - Paint that wall. SWMBO likes a colour in Wilkinsons of all places but it's not "bathroom" paint. Do any of the sheds make up bathroom paint if I get a Wilko match pot? Etc, etc Roll on Easter!

OK...whoever said it'd look better with grout might have had a point. From a distance that is... Just the bath to do now, tiling wise.

Just sounds so wrong...

Our very own @Nickfromwales?

What type of cloth are you using to rub out with? I've a window cleaners scrim seems pretty good for buffing up and getting the dust off. At any time does a wet finger/rubber glove come into play along the joints?

Explain please!

Tbh we're both pretty useless! Me: Her: Not sure she's putting enough in? I am trying to sponge off at 45deg to the grout lines always. Also I keep the sponge dead flat. Seems ironic it failed at the last hurdle as in the tiling.

Difficult to call. Tbh none of it helped by my sh!t tiling. Hers. Mine: I'm going to do the wet room corner. Don't think it fair if it leaks. I can certainly ram it in harder.....

SWMBO helping with the grouting. Doing opposite ends so we don't kill each other! Wet room corner tomorrow and maybe around bath. I PTFE / CT1'd the shower hose connector into the wall. 20 turns of PTFE felt a bit too much tbh.

NOW I know what my pi$$ taking mate meant by "shadow" lines!

Are you going to be taking orders? This thread is giving me a bit more of an incentive to maybe model some Makita BL18** battery to "cheapo 18V cordless tools collected over the years" adaptors.

What did it cost out of interest? I see Aldi have one in again: https://www.aldi.co.uk/balco-3d-printer-/p/086887240233900?
