Onoff

I was intending to stop the bath and wall drain wastes just above a grate on the drain so the backing up soil run won't affect either.

Not ideal but if I separate the waste like I was going to then if thinks back up I can still use the shower and just divert over the garden temporarily whilst I sort the soil run out...

Erm.....suitably admonished.....that's saved me a few quid maybe. It would be nice I'll admit and neater to lose that waste run in the loft.The reason for doing it all separate is that that clay run goes into a giant, bottomless, cess pit (still yet to locate) that's been known to back up. Is my fear of it backing up and affecting the upstairs basin and shower, especially if the traps dry out, irrational?

That's it, draw me into making sexist comments! Joking aside it's scientifically proven that women's feet are smaller so they can get closer to the sink etc. Handy when considering cupboard depths and worktop overhangs...

Let's be honest here, if there's women involved then the thing needs to be on lockable castors so SHE can move it that fraction to the left / right later on. As even though she agreed on the position, took photos to prove it and signed in blood she didn't really want it where you bolted it down!

Piece of black bin liner with the rings marked in white paint / Tippex makes for a very effective mock up hob:

Got a picture(s)? Any earth stud, tapped hole or spot welded 1/4" blade in the rose?

Chubby wife works too...

You're scaring me now as I didn't butter the wet room corner tiles!

Some advocate, when fitting pir between joists or battens to in fact cut it well shy one side, like 5mm. Then foam the Hell out of the gap. I just try and cut as accurate as I can.

How tall are you? You could shorten all your doors and insulate the floor!

Sound! A triangular "wedge" of st/st sheet dropped into a slot hacksawed at an angle in the ply I think.

I did wonder about adapting my cavity master...

Where's the finesse man?

Tax my Aga! You can jolly well bugger orf! What is an Aga?

That giant bottle of Kingfisher has kicked in! Thinking a 20o chamfer, 10mm long? The rectangle's the ply disc, the two red lines the 110mm mm soil pipe... Can't help thinking a Stanley blade(s) is maybe the WRONG thing to use...

Got to be a good feeling getting rid of all that crap...literally! I feel your pain, our house was re-roofed leaving the old flat roofs in place. Once they came up it was a world of rat/mouse/squirrel/bird skeletons and nests inc wasps. Still got an original flat roof to deal with above the lounge. Why not then build up the sill layer in expanding foam, cut to 25mm thick and normal pb atop that? Better than nothing. In fact a lot better than nothing. Commercial wet foam systems like "Icynene" work exactly this way. Stick the pb to the foam with low exp. foam and screw to the front batten too. Now we've said before and will again. DRAUGHTS are the kiddie that make you feel cold. Make damn sure you fill up gaps between "pir" (what we will call Celotex from now on) and the battens even if only a couple of mm.

Just the hard bit to figure then!

Paint brush & slop it, 5:1 water (5 of water, 1 of PVA), in.

Resist, I couldn't.... A 114mm Starrett: Gives me a 100mm marine ply disc (18mm): An old soil coupler with one perished seal: Seals removed: Disc fits nice: Find something to make a shaft with: 11/16" flat bit to recess the ply, nyloc pressed in: Bolt head zinged off: Beer o'clock! Phase 2 to secure the disc in place with some peripheral screws and mount the blades!

Just got one of these for my boy on Preloved for £200: https://www.dell.com/en-uk/work/shop/accessories/apd/210-agul

Cheers. The obvious solution then! Knowing my luck I'll squeeze the clamps too hard!

I wonder if you could incorporate a couple of Stanley blades into a precise "chamferer"...

This type off tile drill WITHOUT a pilot drill: Bought to drill the tile that fits over the shower mixer. I assume I need to make up a timber template and gently clamp it to the tile? This to stop it wandering. Cheers.
