RAK made in Dubai. How about Bernstein?

That's the poet in you coming out!

You're going to want a handrail across the front of the deck of course if a metre high, no? And down the steps. Need to consider how you integrate that into your retaining wall or bolt to the front etc.

It's close to me but I'll likely be "building it live" for real!

It's the brownfield sites within the Green Belt that cause the controversy round my way. Old poultry farm, orchard/cider mill, nursery, small caravan parks etc. All derelict and an eyesore tbh and bought for a relative pittance. A Mecca for vandalism and fly tipping. Often I feel the developers turn a blind eye to it. Traditionally these would have little and then only maybe seasonal traffic. The developers of course want to squeeze as many houses on as possible. The roads and infrastructure often struggle with the sudden population increase.

Slightly off track but pretty sure during WW2, Japanese military scientists invented some very clever man portable filtration systems to ensure potable water from any dubious source. So they must know a thing or too!

That's the problem with land, they stopped making it a long time ago. .....unless you're the Chinese government!

The Duravit Starck 3 doesn't get very good views here: https://www.amazon.com/Duravit-2200090000-Starck-Toilet-Finish/dp/B000UVXWZ4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=kitchen-bath&ie=UTF8&qid=1460049155&sr=1-2&keywords=Duravit+starck+3&linkCode=ll1&tag=toilet08a-20&linkId=0ca856e3779340bd23942bf946aaed0e Seems "things" don't get flushed properly!

Cheers. Off the list then!

Erm.....I think Nick meant photos of your copper plumbing! V.neat & tidy though!

Rak Reserva is similar in design to the Duravit Starck. Also looking at this by Prestige Dawn: https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/prestige-klpk046-dawn-wall-hung-toilet.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=Shopping&v=1485959164&gclid=CJip2P3I79ECFe237Qod4-8CeA POT221MK seems to be the number for the spare seat for £35? http://plumbworkz.co.uk/toilet-seats/155330-luxury-d-shape-heavy-duty-soft-close-white-finish-toilet-seat.html

Foamed in already! Still reckon I can do it though, just dry fit first & mark the elements with a Sharpie before assembly.

Sorry, bum steer there. Looked at so many! Best I can source £248.93 all in from two separate sources: http://www.bathroomsandshowersdirect.co.uk/duravit---wall-hung-toilets/starck-3-wall-hung-toilets/duravit-starck-3-222509-wall-hung-pan-with-invisible-fixings-white?gclid=CMjp9Kmn79ECFYe77QodYZ4EIw + https://www.cphart.co.uk/duravit-starck-3-standard-toilet-seat/?SKU=ST306381WW&gsp=1&gclid=CLbRxeur79ECFcew7Qod5MkLkQ

Good shout. I'll go that route. Assume it'll "weld" to the pipe already there? I'll practise with the push fits I've got to gauge whether I need 2x45, 2x30deg etc.

@Nickfromwales, I see here that you used a flexi to connect to the soil: Are they more prone to blockages because of the concertina / ribs? As it is I think I need to add some full height packing strips (maybe 12mm) to the face of all my studs to get the collar of the push fit 110mm couplers in. This as the face of the soil is currently flush with the soil pipe:

I should have just carried on digging and built a long drop!

You can get your pegs in for setting out with a water level and a bit of Pythagoras. Spray them with a bit of paint and cap with some old lids for safety and you feel like your getting somewhere! You WILL / CAN get there.....and I should know! ....mind I'm not there yet!

Reminds me of that Rab C Nesbitt episode where he meets his Spanish double on holiday! "Hands across the sea eh?"

I rather like this Duravit Starck 3, the way the pan kicks up at the back. I can see that being handy to stop "stuff" running down the tiles behind too much. Circa £190 inc seat & VAT. But a new seat's around £100. I'm more after pan & seat <£150 and new seats about £50 or less.

"There were stain marks on the cushion where someone'd been a pushin', and footprints on the windscreen upside down" I had one of the older engineers come into our design office years ago, stand in the middle of the room and recite that. It was a while later I realised he was referring to my Capri in the car park where said foot prints were all too obvious.

Thought someone on here had a crusher for sub £200 the day? Don't forget goggles! I graded some of the old bathroom floor through a 40mm mesh by hand, breaking up the big bits with a clubbie. Got there in the end. Someone here reckoned I removed about 7 tonne by hand including all the soil I removed. That graded stuff became the sub base for the new bathroom floor. Still got about 10 jumbo bags of ungraded hard core from that and where I removed the path alongside the house to redo the water main. Hours of raking / bending / barrowing. Soul destroying when the ground is mixed debris though, you just have to segregate it all I think. Unless you've cash to get it all diggered and skipped.

"The natives are getting restless. My impatient wife is deperate to have a bathroom that resembles a bathroom." You really can't have a crack yourself with input from here? Sometimes it takes another pair of eyes. A big tidy up a la clean slate can help. Could you maybe hire a small crusher for the day, pick a spot then just feed it all your assorted hard-core. That way you've a ready source of graded stuff for use plus you've not got to get rid of it. Burn all the timber on site if you can. Collect all the scrap metal in one pile. Bet you've that "where to start feeling" sometimes. Getting some sleepers delivered and screwing together is a doddle though cutting them you might struggle if not au fait. Sketch a plan up and put to the masses for some suggestions.

She reckons it's me and the boy who "corrode" them..... Tried explaining the cheap seats we've had in the past probably have had cheap alloy hinges.

Curse @daiking for that!

Looking good and a belated well done!
