NOT guilty! Anything's better than how it was, solid concrete floor 60mm too high, damp too with DPC issues. Ceiling sloping, 6" higher one end. I will concede however that you could at least have a sh!t in it! -
Underlying boards showing through render - suggestions?

Do you like the Tudor look? You could paint all those lines black.....I'll get me coat! Gently wash an area and see if it looks different? -
Only kidding! I was just worried you were after my crown! When all the cr@p's gone, look at those very first photos you put up and pat yourself on the back.

1st July was supposed to be the deadline wasn't it? As you said, you didn't agree which year!

You do realise your kids will quite likely develop agoraphobia with all this mass of new, open space? Along with "Daddy, where's my pet brick gone?"

Got to be a contender for this month's best thread title?

Pretty uncommon I guess to sink the bath so there's no height difference between tiled floor and floor of the bath? Less chance of the elderly overbalancing, easier to get your leg over etc.

I'm sure I've been down this rabbit hole before..... Thinking two spaced plates. Big hole, top centre for the inlet. Matrix of holes in the lower plate. 1) Spacing between plates? 2) Dia of & number of holes? 3) Do the holes need to be "dimpled" or coned from above? Maybe with a centre punch or csk bit? Must be some rough lpm calc I can do based on the shower pump? 4) "Rubber" gasket between plates or neatly done silicon/CT1? 5) Htf to fit the LEDs...singles, gel strip? Roll on the dentist at 5pm and maybe this madness will stop! (Already identified some decent thickness st/st catering trays, 316 I think! )

What sort of money should i be looking to pay for a 12" rainfall shower head? Something like this in st/st with LEDs: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/12in-Stainless-Steel-LED-Rainfall-Shower-Head-with-Color-Changing-Brushed-UK-/111636503923?hash=item19fe0ddd73%3Ag%3Av8oAAOSwYHxWPXhp&_trkparms=pageci%3A6ba61236-65f8-11e7-bb5e-74dbd1806e20%7Cparentrq%3A3015eab115d0aa66f3105a80ffe8a97c%7Ciid%3A10 Seeing them on eBay for like £12 from China! I note a lot appear to only be Gr304 stainless. The LEDs, are they generally powered by a small dynamo driven by the water stream? Can it be that hard to make one from a pair of 316 stainless plates clamped together with a spacing gasket in between? Just a big watering can head isn't it?

Pressure pads and a simple organ circuit!

The Spanish supplier of that kit you're ordering came back to me: "Hello retains the setting you have The I 108 works as a comparator When the voltage returns, check the potentiometer setting And the tension of the NTC Depending on the setting and temperature you will connect the relay regards" So all good!

No joke, sort of. Many years ago me and a mate got paid to use a window cleaning cradle to lift plate glass for posh office partitions up the side of a building. It was slow going and the glass people decided they would take the small bits up the stairs. They managed to catch a corner on a wall and one of the brand new bits went BANG! They had a "waterfall" of glass come down the stairs. Give them their due they tidied up and hoovered whilst the site agent was on a tea break - he never knew! Short of one piece of glass I watched two guys lay a piece of slightly different shade glass from somewhere else on a few trestles and proceed to score it with a CIRCULAR SAW. Whether there was a diamond blade in it or something I don't know but it snapped clean as a whistle along the line. This bit went next to the wall where there were curtains and the shade difference was lost. Got a pic somewhere...

The technical reasoning behind the curvature is that it looks way, way cooler than everything being straight!

Is this alright to go on the Geberit frame / behind the Aquapanel? Still thinking to Thompson's it. http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Non-Structural-Hardwood-Plywood-9-x-607-x-1220mm/p/110402?CAWELAID=120135120000005520&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=37524970732&CATCI=aud-162417460132:pla-193348859092&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIh4a1iO_-1AIVJbXtCh0CRQ6UEAQYASABEgL7KPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds -
Altering Corian worktops?? Easy or not??
Onoff replied to TheMitchells's topic in Kitchen Units & Worktops
Ta. Saved by the pattern tbh...and filler! Up close one end of the insert wasn't quite right. Maybe I made a mistake on the CAD .dxf for when I had the jig plates lasered: Looks worse here: Took ages to figure a jig that would do the male & female cuts: Tbh it would probably have been cheaper to buy Corian! -
Altering Corian worktops?? Easy or not??
Onoff replied to TheMitchells's topic in Kitchen Units & Worktops
Cheapest of the cheap seats here, standard worktop with bullnose grafted onto end and other long side: Let in some corners: Job done. Agree about the open end, we spend ages sitting round it: -

Yep, this'll work. 150mm centres with 38mm p'board screws, Gorilla glue. Spaced so the actual p'board screws shouldn't clash and follow round from those already done...even though they'll all be covered up! Toothache stopped play!
