Yarp!

B0LL0CKS! At around 4.45 in the video there's a stainless steel strip that goes over the drain threshold. I can't find it! I can't see that I've "boarded it in" the walls but...

The Geberit wall drain, it's one thing watching the CGI video! So the membrane is sort of rolled up tight. It's Sellotaped which you remove: It appears completely waterproof: Guessing I need to make damn sure there's no sharp edges here: I'll have to watch the video again! Seems the tile (mosaic shown as example) sits like this: There's a bit of very thin st/st sits between the membrane and tile at the threshold to the drain: I've also ordered the st/st front plate to cover/finish it at just over £70!

I'm going to put down some taped together Antinox / Proplex sheets to protect the concrete floor and board over the bath to the extent it can be stood on to reach the ceiling. I intend, as the plasterboards have been up for a good while to apply a weak pva mix just before plastering. I've generally used a pot and a brush before on walls but it's messy. 5:1 has always been my goto water/pva mix. I've tried it in plant sprayers or even kitchen cleaner spray bottles but they seem to soon gum up. I was thinking maybe a 10:1 mix in my back pack sprayer? Would be ideal to do the ceiling.

The wall at the bath end, on the right, will be tiled from the bath up. The low wall with the pocket will be tiled including the nom 4" shelf on top with a line of tiles / upstand over the damaged bit just above the shelf. Above that will be plastered & painted with a colour (so SWMBO can periodically change the bathroom theme ). The internal corner where painted wall on the left meets tiled wall on the right, does that need taping / reinforcing? Then the internal corners that are two pb walls that'll both be tiled, corner tape? And finally where pb meets Aqua Panel at an internal corner (lower right), tape or not? Lastly, whilst on a roll, the EXTERNAL corner above, it'll be tiled straight on the pb with a corner trim. Tape it or not? Cheers

I've bought the T'station scrim @PeterW said about. Couldn't resist trying it...I don't get much excitement in my life... Need to make good this damaged corner of one board at the join. Not sure if you fill it (with plaster) first then put the tape on or just whack plaster on this and hope it squidges through? This damaged bit will be tiled over anyway with an upstand. And picked up a couple of these:

Solder? It's a non starter: It'll end up like this: I found there were bad bits and REALLY bad bits. I bought the proper, best make, MDPE to iron adapters but it was just too far gone. No g'tee the bit you're looking at isn't the worst bit. If you "bury" that under footings etc you are asking for trouble. Sorry, I know it's a bitch of a problem. Mine was under a concrete path alongside the house that had to come up but that was on my land etc.

Don't pi$$ about, replace the pipe. I had exactly the same issue. Tried fixing one leak in the iron - that failed, replaced one bit in MDPE and couldn't get a decent joint to the remaining iron. Then another leak etc. Spent a small fortune on fittings too (you don't need the kebab ) :

Ivor Biggun:

Using a few odd spanners around the bathroom I wanted to keep them together before they go back in their respective leccy, plumbing bags etc. I took small comfort in upcycling this:

Let me take my time thinking of a response...

That seemed to work and goes on the same colour as in the Geberit video! Seemed "smeary" enough too. Holding the membrane up with a bit of duct tape to keep it out of the way. Maybe a mm over but I can live with that. So in theory, once dry, the membrane folds out and gets similarly "smeared" over/on.

I'd have done it for £1M and in half the time...

I'll make a lockable guide that I'll slide up the (dead vertical) 100 x 100 steel post so I can't go wrong. I'll also make a "Bricky" esque thing so all my mortar joints are equal and there's very little if any waste or stuff going down inside the pillar.

Ta. When I used the tile adhesive to fill the Aqua Panel joints I just poured some water in a bucket and mixed by hand with a trowel. Seemed to go OK. Would "whisking" it with the paddle mixer make it go "creamier"?

Did you volunteer?

Love the understatement! Any pics?

How do you install, tractor pto?

How about a nice cantilevered shed with NO SUPPORTS? Glass box overlooking the stream. All very GD!

I've got a very small trowel...

So I'm at about the 3m 50s stage in the video. Feels to me that whatever they're trowelling on is more of a sticky, plaster like "creamy" product than the Mapei tile adhesive I've just used?

I half considered running a couple of lines of Fischer FIS V 360S resin down the channel and levelling off.

Google "shed on slope". Lots of ideas there under Images.

This bit, my exotic SBR, pea shingle mix was laid April 1 2018. That's yesterday in my book!

Ta. No, no slc here. Does the concrete channel need priming with anything before the tile adhesive gets smeared in?
