They promised me when I ordered the part that I could use technical support if I needed to, so....... hopefully.....

New fan turned up . Easy enough to unscrew it but it won’t clear the panel and cabling goes into front “ somehow “ . I’m sure I’ve read that the entire section slides forwards somehow …. Anyway ; put it back together for now and emailed vent axia with “ what do I do now ? “

lol . Yeah it’s coming in from outside the plot - impossible to pinpoint . I’m going to do my channel plan . This is the 1st leak in months - though there has been plenty of rain k er that time . It’s a management issue not a fix issue as tried that .

2am plan occurred to me . Tank around the edge of the opening to prevent tracking . Solvent weld pipe cut in half length ways to form a gully / apron . All round the edge ditra tiling mat then round the inside of the opening sitting in the gully . Pipe outlet from that into the wall membrane. What could go wrong !

Hmmmm . What about I just tank along the blue sides ? . Forcing it forwards ? . Then some kind of gully taking it to the wall and lip into the wall waterproof membrane . Good plan ? Shite plan ? I prefer to control the water than seal its routes off and hope . Don’t want to post “ leaks moved to the kitchen ! “ 🫤🫤🫤

Right ! Been waiting for this ! First Lightwell - tanked , no leak . But I know waters still coming in . So today it finally pushed through to the 2nd deliberately untanked - and leaks . Sure I’ve got zero options but to tank this one and then the water is going wherever !!! . What worries me is it tracks then to the skylights in the kitchen . Or do I think like an optimist and think as it can’t get through the 1st and then can’t get through the 2nd it just runs off the edge of the slab …. 🫤

I can spot a crack from a mile away …

I did . Way to expensive.

Yeah I saw that . It’s unclear how you access the fans . I’ll wait until the replacement turns up - take the heat exchanger out ; have a look and decide how brace I feel

I did contemplate doing a bodge like that . But I won’t ever sleep knowing the hideous thing I’ve done . The other hideous things I’ve done I can live with !

Nah ! It’s not really an anything room . Anyway I kind of guessed they’d be coming up . Tiles aren’t to bad - cleaning the ditra not much fun !

But that means ripping them up ! I’m not sure how easy that will be !!

I think best is to not bother with a “ strip “ nor attempt to match ( and fail ) . So tile half differently so it looks deliberate. But with what ?

Or rip up the others in the centre ? I.e so there’s a strip running the length of the room . But my gut instinct is getting them up will be a bitch !

I suppose it could be worse . This is a utility room - any different tiles wouldn’t be seen from the doorway . Got some spare black bathroom ones I could use in the centre . When you can’t hide it make a feature ?? 🙄
