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????

YES !!!! SKILLS !!! ??

Hmmmmmm . Well if I did it that way the timber would still need to be at an angle to meet the timber frame . My way propping it’s height up - oh ffs ! - does it matter !! ? Ran out of screws so this is where it is at the moment .

So ....

Or ! Vacuum insulation. Much much thinner for same u . But much more expensive...

Not sure what you mean . I was going to noggin across to my new wall off the timber frame ; like this

So ! Starting on the false wall . As mentioned can’t screw through screed as ufh at the edge ( my fault ) . So ct1 in the middle - screwed at edges

Dewalt - quality

LOL. No, the screeder did the screed (even though it has some slight cracking). It's like less than 2mm out across the entire floor! - top job! I'll do the other screed bits; but ok will reduce the cement in my mix ... ?

Hmmmmm, ok. I need my screed to be level with existing - so perhaps no fibres - didn't realise they effected the spreadability .....

65mm. Yeah it has a few cracks at joints. So I could stick some mesh in my extra screed pour? ; and some fibres aswell ( to reduce chances of cracks ) TBH if I mix 'screed' it's just going to be like my concrete anyway! 1:3 (cement to sand ) ratio perhaps more water so it flows better.... Could make my screed thicker!. No mesh around but have some rebar spare so could make a rough mesh. As insulation under shower tray and bath is pointless - perhaps I could just go 50mm insulation and then screed the rest.
