Love to dry her grout
-
@Onoff style !
-
That's primitive man!. SWMBO will not be impressed. It *may* be possible to squeeze a tall but skinny one in elsewhere (I need to check) but maybe only 200mm wide.....
-
We do have a small area of UFH in there aswell. SWMBO wants a 'space' heater.....
-
yeah 0mm would be tight ?
-
Hmmm, I'm guessing anything less than 80mm makes it almost impossible to put a towel over the rail. Limited places to put the towel rail in the ensuite though.....
-
Struggling to find what I need for my ensuite. Problem is depth (projection from wall). If you wish to stand in front the vanity unit you really need to be next to the wall. Therefore a deep projection from a towel rail will be problematic. I have looked at expensive minimalist ones - but SWMBO wants it to heat the room also. Any suggestions?
-
Yeah . I think I’ll come back to sills . They left me other issues like this - see photo and their foam filled ‘gap’ solution . Cladding isn’t timber it’s Marley cedral stuff .
-
Snagging list ! F me ! That will takes months to write and years to fix all the issues . But as a start ( just off the top of my head ) 1) Leaky underground dwelling etc. Etc . ?
-
Put a few more in . As mentioned the cut edge is a pig . Pushed a bit of trim along the edge . Looks a lot better just a mm or so out - reckon this will do for now ! ( last photo ) - with a bit more effort .
-
I thought that might be possible . Who / how do I get these made ?
-
I think I get what you are saying but this cladding when cut gives a crap edge and needs trim to hide it . I did think of something like that but couldn’t bring myself to break the consistently of the front.
-
Not really able to move studding ‘in’ . Bevelling edges would require a skilled man with infinite patience . Will continue across with the easy parts and see how much it annoys me everyday noticing it . Funnily enough had a different issue with the cladding in the rear . Took the whole lot down to fix a piece that stuck out 3mm . I swore a lot .
-
Yep . It’s never the exact same colour . Managed to pull it in a bit tighter - will touch up the top of that lower panel part and see if I can get away with it . Else more trim over it . @AdamSee yep . Sill should sit past cladding ; window company knew that but on install day said that’s the widest sill they do . I can arrange it so that any water running via the sill runs over dpc which is ontop the timber supports. This was installers suggestion on the day . Last photo shows their black dpc which goes over the timber membrane- so any water in a worst case scenario runs behind and on the cladding board which is supposedly everything proof .
-
The window fitters did an ok job . As you can see they scuffed the trim which is not removable. As I clad across the front and meet their sill ; appears to be a few mm out . So I’m looking for suggestions of how I ‘cover’ this all up to look neat . Part of the problem with all this cladding and trim is that it’s virtually ( impossible! ) to cut it perfectly with no ‘torn’ ends . Be nice to ‘overlay’ the sill with another to hide the mess - but how an earth can I cut that spot on ? ( especially if assuming steel )
-
Awesome ! Will order one ?
-
Sure . But what do I use to build the ply level up ? So it’s level with the screed .
-
Yes @nod please confirm . So SBR ply Then Ardex to level ply with screed : which Ardex product ? Then when all dry de coupling mat on top.
-
Yes . The pipe I’m using as an example is solvent weld . I’ll try and get a push fit pipe ; as a small diameter . Assuming that works still want to ‘convert’ as soon as I can go solvent weld . Presumably I’ll need some form of compression joint that will take 40mm and 43mm ? I.e compression pipe in , solvent weld pipe out .
-
Here are the photos As you can see rubber ring in fitting no problem . Around pipe - it’s just not going to fit - this can’t be right can it ? ( pipe is 42mm )
-
F * ck no
-
Probably get taken down ; but I’m bored

Single finger one even better

My toilet cistern will fill quicker ! ?
