Timber shortages . Found some but delivery not until next week . Not nice but a combo of steel and marine ply ( both which I have )

Yeah . That’s for about £70 ‘s worth of timber . Will over order to about 100 quids worth -delivery £50 . I’ll just do it . Will recoup the extra delivery cost when I sell my walk on glazing ?

£42 delivery ? Still ! What else can I do , except order !

Just called them Have timber and will deliver !! Apparently have to wait for their website to be updated today or tomorrow to allow this . I did ask about stock levels , she said good !

‘Dug up’ some metal stud - will use and mix with what timber I have for additional strength where required

Neater than @Onoff ‘s effort . Will screw and glue toilet delta board

No , your retirement is helping finish my eternal project. You know you want to secretly!

I don’t . Do you have one ? ( and yes I’m being serious )

Ok , I can’t find any timber left on my site ( cls or similar for stud ) Wickes have some but no delivery - can’t collect in a smart car ! Looked online - but struggling to find any suppliers operating and with national delivery . Anyone found a source ??

Yeah ; I thought of this - certainly would be cheaper . Other issue was I have to do something similar at the other end I.e connecting to shower head - stem then wall plate . Parts ordered now . Whilst I’ve been trying to avoid joints think I’ll have to in order to get the water in pipes to connect to thermostatic valve - 90 degree tees I guess . No way they are going to bend that tight ( nor do I want to try ! )

I did sorry , yes . Shower is female . Didn’t know you could do this with Hep2o , guess it saves having 22mm pipe and inserts to join it all together !

So this to the shower https://www.screwfix.com/p/hep2o-plastic-push-fit-adapting-male-coupler-22mm-x/5653f Then the 1st stem will simply push fit into this ( at 22mm ) . Leaving me a standard 15mm Hep2o connection ?

So the 1st ‘stem’ one you link is just a reducer then ? So I’ll still need some 22mm pipe and inserts ?

It’s for a thermostatic shower . I’ve quickly looked at a ‘stem’ fittings don’t get how that works / fits . ?

Doesn’t exist ! So will need to go 22mm Hep2o to 3/4” Male straight connector . Then 22mm Hep2o reducer to 15mm Seems daft . Guess there must be some historic reason .

Is it me ? Does a 15mm Hep2o to 3/4” bsp bent tap connector not exist ? Can find 22mm and to 1/2” . Perhaps everyone bought them before the virus !

Today’s efforts

I was being facetious....

I’ve no idea who you mean .

Girls push fit ( hence up North ) , real men always weld

Worried, I inserted a strip of marine ply where the shower door will fix to . Should of done something on the other side similar . But that’s got delta board all over it - best remove all and do it right.

I’ll bite .

Because the answer to f ing everything is CT 1 How do I mix cement? Use ct1 How do I stick these pipes together ? Use ct1 I’ve got haemorrhoids . Use ct1 How can I fuel a manned mission to Mars ? Use ct1 There’s a global pandemic, what’s the solution ? Use ct f ing 1 !

Important note ! For anyone using delta board . As I was advised ‘printed’ side out . I did have a board that appears to be printed on the wrong side . So check first . Not sure if photo will show the difference between 2 printed sides ....

Yeah in a wet room I understand. I was going to delta all walls . Tape joints , then I believe you smear tile adhesive along the taped joints .
