Pocster

I think you are confused ; she called you “ a knob “

That’s a knob and a half !

Might be. You want a free peek?

I know Uncle Nick. After all you are taking MONTHS tiling Mummies bedroom....

I do . Trust me I’m more careful than you think . Just to get the uvc hydro box in with the other guys I could see it was risky . Quickly sorted a crane for £600 !!

Just to help anyone else that has a real heavy tray and no friends . Scaff on the left to support steel bar . Noggins added into timber frame on the right to sit other end of steel bar on . Winch on steel bar . Hole made in marine ply wall so a timber could sit across from here to Scaff . This so when tray is high enough it can sit on timber . Dont really want the winch failing and tray landing on me . A messy , lots of work solution ? . Yes .

Why does everyone always want to rush tiling . That’s it for today on the tray . Tomorrow ct1 down the edges . Day after blue tanking stuff ( that needs 2 days to allow for drying ) . Then the ct1 ‘lip’ from wall to tray . Tiling is weeks away ! Chill peeps ; da Pocster is in de ‘Ouse .

He’s big He’s black He’s sparkly He’s also fecking heavy but ... he’s in ! ?? Learnt my lesson from the ensuite tray and left a nice gap around the edges - probably get 3 tubes of ct1 down there ! I’s da bad ass boy - you get me !? ??

Planned mate ! 100% . I got da skillz !

Like I didn’t plan that ! ??

Could just get a nvr and some ip cameras . Depends how much “ fun” you want ??!

Glued screwed and autographed by uncle Nick as usual . The floor not my Mum .

Glue and screw marine ply now . Tomorrow the big black shiny goes in ! ??

There ! Test phase 1 complete ! As you can see from underneath its a dog to access .

This is the plan !

As suspected ,the trays been up and down more times than a vicar on steroids . Just as well I had a winch ! ? More alterations - the waste is a pain . Think it’ll go now ! . Probably have to put it in as I bed the tray - putting it in afterwards would be tricky as 2nd photo shows .

Some walk on glazing going cheap use discount code BUYMENOW

Breaking through ready for the main bathroom shower tray . Waste has to be a swept 90 - would of preferred a 45 degree bend , but it’s the not going to happen

Bought a better hook as suggested by @Onoff - much better than the supplied one - no chance for straps to come off

It’s Friday just stop ! ?

As it’s Friday decided to score some SWMBO points and also get rid of a box . So put the ensuite wall unit up - no electrics connected to it yet .

????? First photo looks liked I’ve made a noose if it all gets too much !!

Meanwhile ( I.e leave the heavy tray alone for a bit ) . Reluctantly cut away the pre formed recess . Cut back the tile bead . Now it should all fit with a thin layer of tile adhesive and a slight fall on the tile . Will ‘blue out ‘ the cut former just for my peace of mind.

Then do a self build and enjoy the exquisite pain and euphoria!!! ?

Still none the wiser . So what have you done to warrant being on a self build forum ? . Feels like you are avoiding the question
