I saw it ! You said ture - that’s coz you are pissed 🍺

He's a true self builder. Post and ask, post and ask, think about it, post and ask...before you know it a year or 2 has gone and it's still not done......

It would seem so. Also with the elusive "sound test" . Told which 5 houses are being checked ( so make them comply ) then 'shall we say' be less inclined with the others..... It is a mockery. Thats the thing with self build. Who is going to f up their own foundations. Have minimal PV and not connect them etc. etc. etc. etc. - I suspect the number of self builds that cut these type of corners is very little.

Hmmm . As an ex software engineer I used to think this . People will ‘learn’ more about technology as it’s used more in their life . In my experience it’s the complete opposite. If they can’t turn it off/on to ‘fix’ the issue or click an icon it’s beyond them . Number of people who can’t set the basics for their router . Can’t work out if their PV is generating or how much . Change a battery in a device ( ffs ! ) . Humans are getting more stupid .

Quantum mechanics is being touted as an explanation to consciousness. So you’d better be careful - she knew what you were thinking btw “ life energy “ = 🍷

My sparky recently became mcs accredited for solar etc. He’s no cowboy ; used him countless times . Told me he’s been to a site ( new builds ) where sometimes just 2 pv panels are put on a roof just so a sap tick box gets done . What’s more worrying is sometimes on finished builds the panels aren’t even wired up . It’s an absolute joke / shambles . But of course it looks great as “ PV was installed “ 😞

My SE told me he’d been to sites where eventually he has to walk off . The example he sited was a known developer; the workmen were chucking coke cans etc in a particular corner of the slab mesh before the concrete pour . SE told them to remove it ( apparently it was a lot ) . Lazy or what . Concrete got poured over it . Likely that corner will crack/fail probably not , but if it did …… . He told me this because of how good and meticulous ( yes ; correct word ) I had been on my foundations . Gold badge ⭐️ for me 😎

I wonder if it’s one of these cheap traps . When I installed my shower tray no matter how hard I tried the supplied trap leaked . Ordered a new ‘better’ one and could tell instantly as I installed it what a better fit it was . Not leaked since . All traps are certainly not born equal .

Forgot to say ; I might be arriving late tomorrow.

Don’t use your finger 😉

Nor me ! More sub frame decking . Better get back to it now 😊🤣

@Thorfun - you’re doing what I’m doing . Posting on here to avoid doing the work - but it is a bank holiday after all 😎👍

Ah I see . Skinny tile strip at end might look ‘off’ . 1200x750 sounds good to me ( the loss of 50mm on width is negligible ) .

Personally I’d want the tray as large as possible . Whilst your theory of water on tiles with dry ( especially with ufh ) ; kids with water … well it goes everywhere and becomes slippery .

I’ve sent a nice email ( 4/10 on my pissed off scale ) . We will see what gives .

The stairs yeah ? ; not the house ! 😳

Oi ! Why change that word to ‘folks’ ? ffs ! from twitter We lost Rik Mayall, The People's Poet, OTD in 2014. The Young Ones was a quantum leap in comedy back in 1982, and my inner 11 year old loved every second of it. Rik was an incredibly talented comedian and actor, we were lucky to have him. Right Kids?

Also , don’t shave pubic hair in shower - right folks 👍

I had a tenant with really long hair constantly blocking the shower waste . She would complain ; say the shower was crap etc . I told her to shave her head .

Gold you would think ! Lots of glass and polished steel . Nice ‘box’ wooden steps ; kubos

We’ve all been there …

I usually supply the few trades I do have onsite with goodies from the bakery

I won’t be . It’s a 30k staircase so I’ll make sure they do it correctly

Here's their plan. I drill the steel at these points ( presumably 2 holes ). Fix noggins. Timber then horizontal; then pack out with OSB. What bugs me is a) the work for me and b) the actual top tread fixes at just one point by the blue stairs - so why I need to do the whole lot is pointless. They fix to the steel any way they want at the top tread end to the steel!
