Onoff

I got a good deal on a stainless steel radiator from these people: http://www.britishbathroomcompany.co.uk Cheapest I could find, free delivery and when it was going to be a day late a REAL person contacted me with an apology. So on that basis when I want something else they'll be a first port of call.

What's this new Makita "G Series" rubbish all about? ANOTHER different fitting battery FFS! Incompatible with LXT tools and chargers but the same Li-ion technology underneath. BAD MAKITA!

I've bought sheep from there I think.....

Use code XMAS20 at Robert Dyas to get 20% off when you spend £100. Ends midnight tonight.

Erm... I can see for a start I may need to chop the soil back and use a flexi...

This Geberit wall frame.....bought "open box" and I've "misplaced" the fitting instructions! Tried navigating the Geberit site with about as much luck as @ProDave on CPC. It's a 111.292.00.1 btw. As it's "old" (bought new, unused but secondhand) is there anything I should replace as a matter of course? Can't remember over on eBuild whether it was some Geberit or Grohe units suffered from "brittle" seals. (Just bought a flush plate for it for £34 off of eBay). Cheers

Old Hoppy Hen that...Co-op, 3 for a fiver. Got a cloudy wheat beer called Franziskaner and a Hobgoblin too. EDIT: Wonder if my local Aldi does that Double Dragon...further than Lidl but I fancy trying it.

Centreline of loo roll holder at 26" from finished floor seems to be the norm. Does this sound about right?

"Ah sh!t!" said @Nickfromwales anticipating more idiot questions:

Well it's something to be going on with:

A tougher driver at CPC: http://cpc.farnell.com/dewalt/dt7430-qz/cleanable-nutsetter-8mm/dp/TL18339?ost=8mm+hex&selectedCategoryId=&categoryId=700000008548&searchView=table&iscrfnonsku=false

Do you mean these Dave? I can stick a couple in the post if you want tomorrow. Came with "Timbalock/fast/fix..." screws years ago when I was buying them in bulk and one came in each box: Tbh. you buying at Toolstation might be cheaper than the postage but I don't mind, let me know: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p24949?table=no

Just lost a relative to it.

Sitzpinken! Seriously now.....the stud components as they are, are ready to go in but I need really to noggin it anyway. If I put a single, horizontal noggin half way up I'd lose height for stacked bog rolls. So maybe add a vertical and a horizontal to the wall off of that. That'll give me a full height vertical gap I can noggin later when (if) I install the roll dispenser.

I've got some scrap ali sheet, I feel a mock up coming on.....maybe with clear Perspex sides to view the action..... If it works I'll do the real "chute" in polished stainless.

I might steal "Bog Mini Blog" and change the name of this thread! I might whack another vertical stud in, spaced at about a roll's width in case I progress the loo roll stacking system!

With the cupboard stud wall in loose and some strategically placed tool boxes to represent the wall hung wc I'm not so sure now about the loo roll holder position! It'll be a bit of a reach around to grab the loo roll. No way it can go dead centre of the wall.

So glad I took loads of photos! That and the CAD makes it a doddle to set the cupboard wall out and NOT to drill through the UFH pipes:

Sorry, I was getting mixed up with this Dormer.....it was all the curves:

All the soffits on each dormer need redoing anyway. I'd like to angle the flat roofs up to just under ridge tile tbh.

@ProDave I really need to do away with the flat roofs completely:

Just so organic.....sensual even! Don't you just want to get naked, roll around on that and become one with it?

I seem to remember over on eBuild the general view the dormers were a bitch to insulate and that an eyebrow roof is a better bet? Tbh I really can't see why. Specifically I'm looking at it from my own roof that desperately needs repairing / upgrading. Simplifying it and picked at random but couldn't you just apply this warm roof technique to sloped, vertical and flat surfaces. So basically ditch the existing tiles and felt, add a timber (OSB) deck. Where the flat roof is insulate over the edge so it meets the vertical insulation and add a soffit detail AFTER. If I went for EWI at ground floor I assume the VCL there would have to join to the roof's VCL. Just another little project...

Let @Rogerthedog fly the thing I say, he seems to know where he's going round the site better than anyone!

Needs a second coat: Really NOT impressed with the way the paint came out on the welded metal plate / tube. Special metals primer first which came out alright. The black Flag brand hammer paint was as thick as and a bitch to put on.....but it's underneath!
