Bath Surround / Boxing In, and concealed pipework
Onoff replied to Onoff's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Yeah, OK. -
There was something I read somewhere about board being better than multi or vice versa but only of late as in the formula / quality had changed maybe. Maybe on a plastering forum or something?

@nod what plaster should I go for, multi finish? Thinking this. https://www.wickes.co.uk/British-Gypsum-Thistle-Multi-Finish-Plaster---25kg/p/220056 Got a 3x3m ceiling to do and a section of wall nom 3x1.5m. Will one bag be enough. Cheers

I'm going to sacrifice a Starrett arbor and drill out the 1/4" hole up the centre to 9mm, (maybe 9.5). I can then slip the pilotless Starrett and arbor over the brass mixer spindles and cut the holes out larger and bang on centre. -

This Aqua Panel has been the biggest pita for a while. Learning curve too, you can't treat it like pb it's just not as flexible or forgiving. -

It's official I HATE Aqua Panel! Got to fill all the joints now. A few edges backed by PIR and no timber where I changed my mind and put the boards in horizontal rather than vertical etc. Some gaps too, bigger than the 3-5mm. I've tried to whack some EBT in at least. Confession time, spot the cock up? -

The panel around the last pocket and over the mixer was was easier than I thought. Bloody difficult to make holes in this Aqua Panel neat as even the sharpest Starrett catches the reinforcing fibres and leave the edges hairy. A 17mm box spanner fits these: And a 1" socket these. Might be 25mm but I haven't got one! -
The ones in my link are non-dimmable.....but CHEAP!

I think it was on here or the previous forum that I asked once of the brainiacs, whether there was a formula for how far off thread a topic had strayed. Seem to remember someone came up with one... -

Is there any way to reduce the capacity of an installed treatment plant in the future? Say there's 4 people in the house and the kids leave. Thinking some way to reduce the volume.

I'm really quite impressed with the Lidl Powerfix sealant gun. It comes with accessories including nozzles and a round plastic disc / "piston head" so instead of a tube of silicon you can load the gun with "grout" or similar. I've never used powdered tile adhesive (only the tub stuff probably 30 years ago). Wondering whether I could load the gun with some Mapei cementitious grout and pump into the gaps between my Aqua Panel?

Touch and go whether it arrives before I get the tiles on...

Very thin stainless body so they sit really flush. I actually bought a second set for spares. Having them in 3 pockets, along the bottom of the bath and possibly in a ring around the rainfall shower head.

My cheapo deck lights: 30mm dia: https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-apollo-led-deck-light-kit-polished-stainless-steel-blue-0-05w-10-pack/96379 Cheap as chips. They do some 15mm ones too.

If you're going to dig a big hole what with the mess and spoil of it later now's the time to do it! Just Google "uk future water shortage".

You no read op pwopery!

But that'll bypass the treatment plant that he wants to keep "wet".

Turmeric for joint pain. I've a bfo jar my Gurkha mate's mum grew in Nepal. Mind blowing compared to the crap we buy here. His missus made me some massala chai from all her spices brought back. Best tea I've ever had. Could actually feel it coursing through my veins! Colours were brighter and everything more vivid.
