You're underground what did you expect ?

Ultimately I’m guessing some coping stones on top - but I’ll worry about that later . Please give me an example of a ‘saddle’ . Still need counter weight etc ?? -

Floor to top of wall 2.6m wall depth 24cm height of load let’s say 2m Wall is concrete ‘lego’ blocks . Reinforcing rods added ; top was shuttered to make a solid concrete ‘cap ‘ then pumped in concrete all in 1 go . The wall’s not going anywhere ! -

Tbh that’s not such a bad suggestion ! Or a corpse .... -
Could do . But I’ll do it properly so everyone thinks I’m skilled !!

Fair enough . My plates quite wide ( see photo ) . Though if you think it’s pants - I’ll recut the holes - probably make a template first . I only did it as a ‘crude’ rectangle because the destructions said so .

Yep . Just read it throughly - takes standard Scaf poles to provide horizontal arms - then bags of sand I recon to counter weight it ( unless anyone can think of a cheaper alternative) Also , if I need to resell when done will be easier - though something like this I think I would keep .... for parties -
Ah ! Was going to use ct1 - will make a mental note not to . 6 months later I’ll forget and stick it on with ct1 . 2 years later when I need to remove the plate you can link to this thread .

Not a problem - so the tile cuts need to be more accurate . The instructions though seem to suggest the opposite.... I don’t want it that access becomes an issue afterwards

If I got a swivel hoist clamped to a vertical Scaff pole ; then there can’t be a counter weight ? . So could I just have as originally planned 1 Scaff pole bolted to the wall right in the corner and use the ‘swivel’ to move a platform around i.e load it not over the hole - then simply swivel round over the drop and lower ?? -
Assume this is enough space around the fixings for access ? . Still don’t like a big hole there ! I know I Mastik around the cover plate but still concerns me ..

Patched back in the delta board . Presume I should fill around the fitting with something ? - tile adhesive ?? Foam gun ?

For fecks sake you are right !

Only issue is to get the feed from the mixer to the shower head will require hep20 joints . I was trying to avoid using them to reduce the chance of leaks - though to date no hep2o fitting has ever leaked . So I guess shouldn’t worry about using them ( they will be inaccessible)
