Zinc roof cost (not going timber clad)
Pocster replied to gc100's topic in Roofing, Tiling & Slating
Yeah I noticed that and thought “eek!” . But as I know there could be method to the madness -
In my experience most “builders” when they appear to be ripping you off or lieing do respond to being stood upto . I use the exact language that I can’t use with a tenant who is confrontational. It’s very therapeutic to release all that frustration and anger . You also effectively drawing a line in the sand . Then it becomes shut up or put up . I know confronting people and potentially the risk of that becoming physical isn’t appealing , no one wants that . But it’s YOUR build , YOUR money - take control ; whether you are wrong or right . Alter the course of the builds destiny relies solely on you making it happen . ??

See our Kev’s fecked up . Liquidation ?

One thing i’ve Noticed when I screw these guys together sometimes you can’t get them lined up I.e you can’t tighten it any further so have to loosen it to get alignment. I presume some plumbers tape on the thread beforehand is the answer ? Equally the brass end cap has no rubber washer or anything. Tape again ???

I reckon this thread could beat @Onoff ‘s for the longest eventually . @zoothorn stay frosty ! ?

Oi ! If they started filming grand design on the start of your bathroom it would of been in black and white !
-
Everyone suggests to me I should of gone on grand design . Can you imagine . Firstly you don’t get paid . Secondly kevin CockCloud saying “ but will it leak “ , “ when will it be finished “ etc. Etc. Just before every commercial break - would hiss me off massively.

Yes ; I was the same ! At school I was known as the boy with the big cock - we used to live on a farm ...

That’s a roger Roger ( if he permits ! ) . It’s been sanctioned by DUP / Nick - remember! No political crap here !!! @Nickfromwales be prepared for more questions once purchased!!
-
Yeah . I know . More the product than Soak - but appreciate the heads up !
-
@joe90 you really are Joe90 . I’m sure there was an episode where you were given the brain image of a welsh plumber !!
-
You know it will be MY fault ! Awaiting Nick’s input .....
-
BOSS HAS CONFIRMED APPROVAL!!! That might override @Nickfromwales comments (assuming unfavourable!). 1200x800 with the 250 'flange' to reduce spray/splash. Nice black tray 1200x800 (unless Nick you think that drains a mare - then I would change to a different drain arrangement) More exciting than waiting for the DUP to YEAH or POO the Brexit deal. Hopefully Nick won't take 3 years to respond.....?? it is mid week!

Bloke at Soak suggested this https://soak.com/en-gb/shower-enclosures/shower-screens/1200x250mm---8mm---designer-easyclean-wetroom-panel-and-return-panel/2000994.html#q=1200x250&lang=default&start=1 With a glass return Then this https://soak.com/en-gb/shower-enclosures/shower-screens/900x800mm---8mm---designer-easyclean-wetroom-panel-return-and-side-panel/2001085.html?q=epw But I need what; a 300->400 gap so then we're at 1300/1400 full length..... So this to save 100? https://soak.com/en-gb/shower-enclosures/shower-screens/800x800mm---8mm---designer-easyclean-wetroom-panel-return-and-side-panel/2001087.html?q=epw WelshWizard going to shoot this down in flames for sure!!

What do we think of this? I'm worried if there's a drain issue you are pretty much stuffed!; or not?? https://soak.com/en-gb/shower-enclosures/shower-trays/designer-trays/1000x800mm-luxe-ultra-slim-stone-shower-tray-and-hidden-waste---black/101466.html#start=8

Actually looking at @Onoff 's photo. Doesn't the toilet get soaked when someone showers??? Whats the distance @Onoff from the corner to the toilet?
-
Yeah I wanted the loo on the wall because a) It's an external wall ; so better noise wise b) There's a false stud wall there to hide mvhr pipework etc. so made sense to use that space for a wc cistern. That part of the build has passed the "Project item commit" stage!
-
Do they have to run vertical? Can they twist and turn to get to the roof vent ?
-
Ah right ! That’s why I don’t see great dirty pipes everywhere. So does the vent have to be as ‘high’ as possible up the roof ? . I guess i’m Asking what’s the min height from presumably the ‘nearest’ toilet ???
-
Every house i’ve Lived in had one of these ; not particularly pretty . On large building sites I don’t see any . I assume it’s a requirement so how do they do a ‘hidden’ stench pipe ???
-
There is no keen price anywhere!!

Can’t you invent a noiseless flow regulator for at source? . Dragons Den will back you ??
