  1. Death mate ! Mention death ! . “ @pocster on BS self build forum didn’t install a shower screen support bar ! . It fell on his SWMBO and sliced her ear off “ . Need me to wipe your arse also ? 😁😎👍
  2. You still need to grow some hair …
  3. From the unsupported glass . You can ( in theory ) do what you want . But who wants glass ‘ wobble ‘ if you catch it with your shoulder ( or appendage) ? . In my mind ; better to have it than not ( personally ) . I ‘sold’ it to SWMBO as otherwise … death , broken glass , crippled for rest of life , permanent disfigured etc. etc . . Like a guy trying to sell you BS ( imho ) life insurance. 1 second later SWMBO agreed on ‘arm’ to hold glass . @Thorfun man up ! . Sell what you need to sell !! . Grow some hair around it
  4. My SWMBO didn’t want a bar over the top of the glass either . But “ conceded “ when I told her the risk to death 😉
  5. You’ll be ok . You’ve got someone to blame …
  6. I would have dug it down another 3 metres - but that’s me ….. 😎
  7. Lazy bugger ! Should be cooking proper food 😎
  8. Looks good too me 👍
  9. It’s a good answer !
  10. Have to ask … why the ‘wall’ for the toilet ? . Removing that would make the room feel bigger .
  11. Fair enough . I considered things like this and was concerned of water in the floor . You could get a shower cubicle in there if you preferred ? Also ( as my SE told me ) . SE’s do the real work , architects just draw pretty pictures 😁
  12. Thanks @Thorfun for the heads up . After shower - floor wet if you wish to use the toilet 🙄
  13. Look @Thorfun ; you must listen too me at some point ! Actuators are about 30 quid each Wiring loom box 100 quid zigbee relay 8 quid zigbee multi sensor 20 quid HA system as expensive or cheap as you want . chuck loxone in the bin - it costs more than 25 quid
  14. No idea . With any HA there probably is a loxone plug in . Personally I go for cheap replaceable stuff . What’s good today will be shite / obsolete / unworkable tomorrow. Personal opinion of course . X10 ? , Sonos ? , Logitech squeezebox ? , msx 🤣
  15. Zigbee dimmer 8 quid from land of the rising sun . Just saying ….
  16. Hmmmmmm Now then ! I used a recommend installer on here to setup my manifold with uvc etc . They said no blending required as that would be for different requirements e.g ufh and radiators . That statement will cause blood to boil ! Anyway ! If you stick self regulating actuators on those valves the delta is 7 degrees I believe . I have these . Linked to a simple off the shelf control box then through z wave / zigbee switches . Controlled via HA with multi sensors in each ceiling . Contrary to what people think … SWMBO requires bathroom to be hotter than bedroom . Mistress requires her bedroom to be cooler . So whilst ‘ multi zone pointless - heat it as one ‘ - you can satisfy everyone ; and I’m not just on about the heating 😉
  17. Yeah yeah - we will see 😎
  18. I’ve done both methods - I think I prefer timber . Metal was ok ; as others have said every piece is dead straight . Always feels a bit rattley . Sometimes I bolt the steel to the wall and then osb it for a ( perceived ) better fixing . Timber more sturdy imho ( appreciate if you install metal all the time you might disagree ). Speed wise ; I’m slow on either ! Also with timber ; off cuts I find a use for . Metal less so . For walls ! - ceilings - metal if you can 👍 ( not a dig at @Thorfun )
  19. Ok . Looks like the frame sits on or in whatever you want . Certainly worth a punt for 35 quid - cheers 👍
  20. Guess I’d better go to a BM and look
  21. Yeah but doesn’t the frame sit in the chamber ?
  22. Lid in . It’s too low .
  23. I know . But they sit ‘in’ the chamber . I want the lid to sit ‘on’ the decking . So I kind of want recessed but supported off the decking rather than the chamber extension . Probably not explaining that very well 🤣
  24. This type of thing ? https://pipetek.co.uk/products/a15-iron-cover-frame?variant=31311628107894 Looks like it sits ‘proud ‘ ; I assume something flush was better …
