But ! You could argue better to fix an old car than buy another with unknown issues . Better the devil you know .....

Oh appreciated. Let me help you now . My car is worth £400 at best ! What’s yours worth ? . Both do the same job going from A to B . I’m guessing yours is worth far more than mine and indeed cost more than mine . Just sharing my experience on cars I.e I don’t care as long as it does the job cheap as possible - I have no interest in cars . Perhaps bathrooms , kitchens etc. ARE more important to me ........

Sorry - not sure what you are trying to prove ! If I know EXACTLY which geberit cistern I want them yes I can online search and get the cheapest . Using your duff logic - I’ll just buy any freestanding bath ( as long as it’s the cheapest ) , any rimless toilet ( cheapest of course - even though YOU said rimless was pointless ) , any kitchen ( cheapest ) , any front door ( cheapest ) etc. Etc. Etc . YOU want cheapest ! I don’t ! . But that doesn’t mean I want most expensive!!! ; as there is no upper limit for these things . i am willing to pay more than “cheapest similar “ - that’s all . The savings on my build were because of my efficiency and work - finishes in my opinion are subjective and should suit the value of the property. Would a 1 million pound house be ok with a 5k kitchen ? . Of course it would ; it’s just as functional. But when you try to sell it - that would pop up as an issue...

Well ! I disagree . Went to bathstore got a quote . Managed to get the price down and match online prices . The number of times i’ve haggled PIR , scaffold boards , timber down etc. I can’t remember. Cheaper than ALL online almost certainly not - but near and delivery next day . If lowest price is your only objective then fine - shop around forever .

Quickly looked at Trojan baths - not a single freestanding one under 400 . Also you mentioned a ‘cheap’ geberit and toilet before . Nope ; doesn’t exist - unless you mean eBay with geberit walled cistern and cheap loo ( buyers complain how cheap the toilet is ) . So yes ! You can find cheaper ; of course you can - quality may be an issue though ....

Yep ; or haggle in store .

Hands back in your gloves please you dirty (expletive deleted)

Yeah but buying online means buying blind no showroom.

Can I buy it off you for £100 ?

Problem is I want to see and touch bath / sink etc . Nothing worse than something looks nice yet feels cheap . Haggling skills will be at the ready but SWMBO overrules such ability !!

Bet he had a few properties to remortgage against ?

I’m touched by the underwhelming support ! ?

How did you find the install ? Also the quality? . Any photos ?

Off to one tomorrow. Wish me luck ! Credit card has already started sobbing ...

Erm ! The steel beams are indeed powder coated I believe . The installer supplied bolts etc. - it was a custom job so I did nothing ?. I can later get a photo underneath so you can see the bolts - from memory there’s no sign of corrosion..... yet !

Water - water !. You lot don’t know the meaning . When we poured the slab in the subterranean mansion it hammered down . Water had no where to run so just sat there . Means the concrete will cure slower and be rock ‘ard ! ?

I will !

No ; I was brought up “wrong” ?

Ooooooooooo ! I like too much !! https://www.pocketdoorshop.co.uk/downloads/10mm-Glass-Doors-Pocket-Door-Shop.pdf

You must be in trouble to stay outside so late ..... ?

Get indoors man ?!

Make sure to record the conversation discreetly.....

Neat ! So I could just use a bit of copper at either end with @joe90 suggested clips just to hold the entire thing ?! So which ‘copper end bits’ do I need ??

Yeah ; something as simple as that might work ! But i’m Going vertical now !

Actually ..... If I build my manifold of manifolds and mount it vertically with water in at the top and end cap at the bottom .... I can build a shelf for it to sit on - still need some clips/straps to hold it in place . Then each pipe can just run horizontally off it through a concrete wall .
