I want to make a brick. How hard can it be?

Bath Surround / Boxing In, and concealed pipework
Onoff replied to Onoff's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Back on the Dec 15 post I show the Hep2O PB pipes I'm using to feed the bath. The push fit tap connectors, again Hep2O are these: They're NOT that springy and flexible like proper flexible connectors. The PB pipe is thus going to end up coming out of the fitting at an angle like that above and sort of held/forced over to one side. Just mulling whether the seal will cope with that long term? -

Some of those stones / plaques have a date on top. Just complicating things for you! -

What's the plan, press letters into the surface of the unfired clay? How tall do you want the letters and how thick i.e depth in the clay? -

Actually Faye "underneath"....is that not a bit sexist nowadays? Faye "on top" seems equally wrong as she always seems to the one doing the work... Level pegging then! -

Quickest is probably to open the PDF in Acrobat then use Windows Snipping Tool to do a screen grab or use Shutter in Ubuntu etc. Unless you've say full Acrobat and can save as a .jpg or .png etc -

I can probably dig out and post an old TalkTalk router if you want to have a play: https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Computers/Setting-up-a-second-router-as-a-slave-on-your-network/td-p/800353 -
Finally started de-construction
Onoff replied to dogman's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
I would love a few hours playing with a crusher. Did you crush it and then remove it all off site or are the piles of crushed material left for future use? I can see if it's crushed you would have fewer removal trucks. When I did the bathroom floor I graded mixed hardcore (the old floor, old roof and bathroom tiles, clay soil pipes, bits of Celcon etc) through a 40mm mesh to make my own Type 1. It was very Labour intensive breaking the big lumps up by hand. It compacted down alright but the proper stuff is better. -

Just make the "brick" out of something like fibreglass or a 2-pack coloured resin and glue it up high. Try and do it when Fayes out as a surprise. Then hide the ladder so she'll never know. Leave a few lumps of clay and other genuine brick making materials about... Then it'll be March 14th every time she looks at it! -

Wot I said with the BT routers.....I've even got an old TalkTalk router or two somewhere. Nowt wrong with 'em, my stupid mate kept setting them up / plugging them in wrong so TalkTalk kept sending them to him. -

Bath Surround / Boxing In, and concealed pipework
Onoff replied to Onoff's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
The bath feet should work fine. Got to add the centre one. The bracket has been pi$$ed since new. A couple of questions as I'm hoping to have a "dry" run this week, well at least fill it up via the hose to see how it sits and make sure the pump works before I extend all the cabling. Half fill or fully fill? 1) The waste incorporated into the slab, I might have knocked this once or twice. Is it worth a smear of solvent weld around the joint again? 2) The "plughole", where does the CT1 go? 3) Ditto the overflow, where does the CT1 go? 4) The connection between trap and black waste above. With the flexible hose I have, hand tight? Any lube needed? Cheers -

FFS! It's yet to be sanded, have a chamfer routed on the edge and a couple of coats of yacht varnish. Give us a chance! -

Well fingers crossed the Fischer resin on these M10 stainless studs holds in my bath feet: They're only in by 46mm.
