Cat5 me any day !

Find this all very stereotype sexist - most offended !! Admin ! Can we please have more !!!

Oh I really really like them ! . What idiot would even contemplate making their own !?!!!

You don’t . So shit , hair and wine corks pile up there !

Just trying to do it properly. ???

Ohhhhhhh ! For hiding beer and wine in the bathroom!! https://www.protilertools.co.uk/product/schluter-rema-magnetic-access-panel-system-pack-of-4?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyouZlISD5QIVFuDtCh2YFAS8EAQYBSABEgJa8_D_BwE

Yep - almost identical to mine

Yep Schlüter is the dogs . Uncoupling and waterproofing in one . Think that’s the way I’ll go . ?

I obviously did a secret under the table deal with admin to provide content for the site . They requested threads on my attempts at bathrooms , kitchens etc. - even just screwing 2 bits of wood together relatively straight . As @PeterW said in his private message to me ” What’s Netflix without content ? ; it’s nothing . Membership to the site has increased because of your and @Onoff‘s benign efforts at workmanship. As you know once we reach our target membership our intentions are to sell the site whilst paying you our agreed percentage for your efforts . It would be of great benefit if you could f’up some more glazing , leaky toilets or just do something really stupid like extend your underground utopia . Yours Faithfully The Management “

Oi @Onoff stop using technical words like ‘sole plate ‘ and now ‘mrpb’ - I can only guess that’s moisture resistant plasterboard . But yes ; I post just so this forum has content . Really admin should be paying us !!! ££££££££

Top job Mr. Twat ! ?

I quickly looked on eBay for just ‘rotating laser’ and £200 ish ... Amazon also £170 for kit - looks similar to mine . Also if it’s crap you can just send it back - foraver I think amazon one is .

I can check later it was some time ago !

Schlüter stuff seems recommended with a nice price tag of course . So ! walk in shower form tray water proof kit ( presumably de coupling tile sheet goes ontop this ) Aquapanel or similar board for the walls ( should I use this on the ceiling also ) ?? Sounds easy (ish) enough - not sure why @Onoffmade such a meal of it ?

Right that’s pretty much it . Some extra noggins to support plasterboard at edges required later . Space infront of the vertical white pipes to allow for tv screen at end of bath . Space above where geberit cistern is going should allow for some recessed storage .

Yeah but that requires skill . Listening for a beep and tapping a block down requires very very very very little skill ...

Lol ! When I first started with metal I hated it - screwing it together and cutting it a right pain . Then I got into it ! . Loved every piece is dead straight - get a magnetic level and you are laughing . Back on timber now - prefer it . TBH as I will end up swapping between them it would be hard to choose one over the over . Do both ?

Ahhhhhhh I have ! All below ground is metal stud ( though I’ve only done a tiny portion) . Ground level just went with timber because it’s a timber frame ( yeah I know ! No logic there ) Underground metal stud photo ...

Stud work going good . More to add - but it certainly isn’t going anywhere !

I was getting ready to email eBay expecting it to be crap and get a refund . Worked really well . When my timber frame went up on the dwarf wall to support it the guy went “Wow! 2mm out - better than a professional “ . Have to be honest I laser checked every single block !

Ok : looked at these on line . Does that mean the tiles aren’t actually bonded to the concrete ? . Or does a decoupling mat have ‘gaps’ in it to allow the tile adhesive through ? Happy to use one if it solves potential problems later ...

Was looking at https://www.wetrooms-online.com/ for the walk in shower - any other recommendations or suggestions; any particular brands ?

Appreciate the heads up . Was going to set the shower tray level with the screed floor . To avoid cracking can I not use flexible tile adhesive on the floor ; and flexible grout ??

I did purchase a spinny laser initially for foundations and stuff . Very hard to see the dot in daylight but had a beepy sensor handheld unit - beeped when inline . All very expensive; so I bought a cheap eBay job straight from China . About a fifth of the cost - still works great now .

You mean it hasn't already????
