Seriously though does it look alright?

Thought this would have been more up your street @pocster ?

Looks like I've got to extend just one screened cable, result! Has anyone seen the bath control box? Seriously, wtf did I put it??? Edit: It appears SWMBO has "tidied it up"! "Grey thing with grommets and a black lead?" she said... She's now looking, I'm now drinking!

Possibly, price wise: https://www.gasfm.co.uk/dt-618-digital-thermo-anemometer-4000-p.asp

You know how to treat a girl. Maybe even let her go large at McDonalds too!

Tanking the Aquapanel is weird...like the membrane isn't keen to "cover". Takes a second coat to get it looking 'bluer". The Geberit flaps and Aquapanel tape suck up the membrane and look much bluer though. Used half the tanking membrane. First coat. Darker patches where I've gone over it again. Genuinely done ceiling to floor. Wonder if I need some more applied higher up, especially over those jointed areas? I've not gone all the way up the wall behind the WC...figured my aim isn't that bad! Besides, with age I find the velocity isn't what it was...

You see I'd chance it just for the adrenaline rush! That plus my conspriracist thinking that it's all made in the same factory anyway!

That's 10m of tape used! Did round the WC too. The tape pretty much covered that nick so I'll just load with membrane over the top.

What? You've only got a couple of neighbours haven't you? Jealous f***ers probably!

Ta. So is all that ingredient list just for the biocide?

Didn't someone already post on here about this? Just search "Sika Fence Post Mix". Sellers on Amazon, eBay etc. About £12 a pop. Not sure how many posts that'll do.....think one bag per post. There seem to be makes other than Sika too, eg: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Post-Mix-Post-Set-Post-Fix-Expanding-Foam-Bag-Fencing-Post-12-75-/132689108507? & https://www.toolsfirst.co.uk/product/osmo-post-fix/?

I wonder if running it too hot has caused the pipe to expand around the nail or whatever and self seal? Maybe run as normal and try again with the camera?

The Geberit wall drain area has dried off really well tbh, better than I thought. There's one bit where I cut it due to the rouching that I need to stick down. Was even thinking a dab of CT1 in that hole and push it down? You can see on the rhs where I had to (jagged) cut on the diagonal the stuff due to the rouching. It's tough as old boots and a pig to cut! The top bit laps over the bottom bit of course. As said elsewhere I've ordered another 7.5m Aquaseal kit from Amazon. I want to do around the bath and there'll be that much left I'll go around the basin area too I think. Reckon I'll end up with the whole room tanked! I had hoped to get the tiles down but I'm going to tank the primed areas today then wait until the other kit comes thru and just carry on from the primed / tanked edges where I finished. A random thought but using the tanking membrane I recognised the smell. It's I think identical to Febond Blue Grit I'm sure (aside from the grit). I got the Blue Grit for my plastering attempt. Tried it and then decided not to use it (despite much advice not to even bother ). Skimming the labels and looks pretty much the same to me. Aquaseal Tanking Membrane: Febond Blue Grit: Guessing I could have saved myself a few quid on the second kit by priming the area with SBR then after letting dry used the Blue Grit? Of course I'd have still needed more Aquaseal Tape.

I've a Makita 18V drill that kept throwing the battery out. Turns out the drill body is broken one side where the battery slides in. Only a hand me down drill from a sparks sadly passed away. I got it in a box of bits and all it seemed to need was a fwd/rev lever. When the battery started throwing out I found he'd carefully repaired it at some time. It will throw one side of the battery out then the broken bit closes up making it almost impossible to figure why.

Everything I've read & watched says a big brush and for seemingly good reason. First coat gets brushed horizontally. Second coat goes on vertically so brush lines are straight down. Thinking being if water gets under the tiles it runs down in the vertical "grooves" in the membrane. Interesting in that as this bit around the wall drain is drying it's contracting and looking better / tighter.

Ta. A few pics over on my Tanking thread. Slowed a bit waiting for the wall drain inbuilt membrane to dry. Bought a second kit off Amazon. Should have got the Mapei one you linked tbh to save waiting for the sake of a fiver. Can't see Aquaseal/Mapei not being compatible. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006FTESLW/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item

Congratulations!

Turns out 1L of Aquaseal Primer goes quite a way! In face quite a bit more than the 7.5m2 they say. Only needed one coat as the mrpb and Aquapanel aren't by nature overly porous. Even the DIY cast shower area concrete didn't take it in too much as it was laden with SBR when I mixed it. So all primed inc the area under and behind the wc. Then onto tanking EXCEPT I needed to incorporate the Geberit wall drain's own tanking "flaps" into it all. For this I've used the liquid tanking membrane as @Nickfromwales said. The video reckons the flaps fold out all nice and neat like in this still shot. They also appear to bed it down on tile adhesive but the thought was this will be too thick. So with the kit's 3" brush I liberally applied liquid membrane behind where the flaps go and left to go tacky. Maybe should have left longer as a couple of bubbles that won't stick down for love nor money! Tbh not that bad really. Mine were a bit rouched at the sides. I think maybe the drain is set a little lower than it should have been. Only thing was to CUT the inbuilt membrane on the vertical face and overlap as best as. The video shows the wall drain flaps (under the pink area) being overlapped by the tanking strip that goes at the wall/floor interface. BUT I need to wait for the liquid membrane that beds the drain flaps to go off. Then I'll run the tap over that like in the still above. Looks like this now: So I'm waiting! Will probably do the strips in the morning and put on the first main coat of tanking membrane (brushed horizontally) on the walls, pockets and floor. Might then go get my Larsen primer and adhesive and do the second tanking coat (brushed vertically( when I come back. Downside of this membrane is I now have a hairless and sore left forearm where I let it dry! A big plus though is the brushes etc wash out under the tap. For now it's back to the Party Seven can and the telly!

Not a bad moniker if thinking of a name change on here "Codeine Dreamz!

That looks like a giant leap forward! Seemed to know what they were doing.

Wtf? I can't see a leak anywhere! Dropped a little more maybe?

I've calculated that if I stop the tanking 2.1m up the wall (below the red line) I should have enough in the 7.5m sq kit to do all the walls pockets and floor area. Just got to make sure this towel radiator loop is holding pressure and I can get that bit of board on round the pipe and tank! Going to start from the red line and prime working down then onto the floor. Tbh if I run out I'm going to finish off with SBR before applying the membrane. I've also ordered another 7.5m2 tanking kit for around the bath etc.

1500 included angle I make it:

Then he needs to decide on what is happening sill wise & project some levels across!
