Drone on another world ! Bollocks ; this is where the limit of human knowledge and ability strive

I knew you’d like that . Bring back memories does it of the fun in your shower ?

WHO’s A BAD MO FO NOW ! ????

I won’t swear . I will just neatly use piss colour silicone around the edges . Will further in from the edges silicone as @Nickfromwales says - apart from the bottom

I think the technical term here is “ a c@&t of a job “ Used marine ply 12mm . Used one piece for the 2 top fittings . Got 1 decent screw in but the ply had slipped . Decided to cheat and use dry wall screw as couldn’t see the hole in the ply and didn’t want to split it with a normal screw. Done 1 of the lower ones . Got the other to do - but it feels stable already . Slightly on the p*as as the valve wanted to go where it wanted to go . Slight visible over cut on tile ( knew that would happen ! ) . But can push the plate long and was going to silicone the edges as gaps due to those bloody textured tiles .

Ever played ? I just have ! . Couldn’t get the dremel in there so resorted to angle grinder ! @PeterW you were right . The screws were cack ! . All taken out slowly by hand ! I can just about gain 20mm ! Now it’s a case of nano operation to get the Packer in there ... ?

Roper Rhodes don’t do an extension kit but a 3rd party one may fit ? Regarding ‘spinning’ chrome square . O ring does go on the back to hold it . He had no idea why it spins . I can’t see why it wouldn’t ! . Anyway bit of silicone will fix that .

Lucky boy

Just won’t ?

D ucking can !

Not sure . How do I extend the brass bit though ?

I did think that . If it was copper I’d be f’d

I did actually allow for it . I allowed 10mm for tile ; 5mm for adhesive . Checked this when it wasn’t tiled and backer board was on . What I didn’t allow for was tile adhesive is more than 5mm also the square collar is around 5mm . So a bit of ‘drift’ adds up . I was actually more worried about it being too far forward - so I guess over compensated. If I did it again I would deliberately leave this tile out and the backing board . Would be easier to judge and place then . Live and learn

Shouldn’t be cheap screws ( but could be ) I always buy Spax . Already thought to undo screws by hand - didn’t want to risk burring them . Once I can access all 4 - will unscrew them about 10mm or so - should be able to judge it better then .

One of those I can manage . The other - not a chance ! Managed to get some sleep once I found that reassuring old photo

Can’t sleep - this keeping me awake . Be nice if the valve was on a caddy with a screw at the front that can move the whole assembly back and forth . Anyway found an old photo . Looks like in theory it should come forward ok ...

Is it strong ? Once printed I mean ? Not brittle ????

Actually I can think of something that would pack it out and give me access . But let me get those 4 screws out first !

Not sure . I think access is the issue . But let me get those 4 screws out first - make sure enough slack in the pipework ( all Hep2o so assume ok )

?

Will do tomorrow

On the ensuite . Those screws are a long way back . Even if I accessed them all and removed how the hell do I pack behind them ?

No idea if pipework has enough play ! Will find out ! . Now what about that “ what do I do with it “ o ring ??

Took SWMBO’s brand new tv to site ( so I can sort Ariel ) . Screen smashed ? Not a good day today !!

Yeah but I use all the spares for my f ups ! Then there are no spares ? Looking at the ensuite one again . I’ve marked in pencil the face plate corners . Might be able to dremel a wider opening so I can get to the fixing screws and perhaps pack them out
