Wall-less wet room sounds a bit exposed. Pocster will be making like David Blaine.

Wonder if this boss will take responsibility for the decision if it doesn't work ? ?

For a serious moment, you could gain 200-400 by turning the loo through 90, or going for a corner throne, and moving the whb.

He won’t fit, unless there is nothing behind that crisp packet.

A note that the pound has just jumped by several % against the Euro in the last 48 hours. If you have been sitting on your hands waiting, now may be the time to gain a bit and minimise risk on purchases or moving funds. It is really a balance between 3-4% in the hand, or +- 10% in the bush. Depends on your judgement. If I were spending 5k in Euro imminently I would take the 4% saving. It will jump significantly one way or t’other depending on what happens with the Brexit negotiations over the next 2-3 days. Now may .. or may not .. be a least unhappy medium. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cx250jmk4e7t/pound-sterling-gbp To take advantage you will need something that works off current rates. F

Maybe ... needs a watching brief. Mentioned on here from time to time. With a risk of having my head chopped off for sticking my neck out (said the giraffe), you could perhaps should be maintaining your relationship as you do your house; little and often with rituals that enforce regular attention on both sides. Suspect that most people do stuff anyway. As I understand it, one thing is not to drift off from knowing each other as well as you did before the build whilst you both change, and a regular whatever to stop the underpinning resilience of the relationship being drained away. So to speak to evolve together rather than in different directions which potentially creates a ‘gap’. F

Whilst also on the topic of maps, some Council website maps have some surprisingly large scale maps. Until recently mine had maps that would blow up to about 1:300, and allow quite reliable measurement of eg width of drive etc. F

This one is fun. This is where I used to live - the centre one not the Google pin. It is Grade II listed. The thing in the red circle is a 40ft refrigerated lorry trailer that dad parked up in 1995 for storage ie 320 sqft ish on plan, with a row of former pigsties behind it. It was dismantled and removed in 2010 by me. Presumably in 2009 I could have turned it into a row of haysheds if no one could see the difference, and then into a house under Section whatever later. That pond was filled in in the 1970s. The path across the fields does not exist, but the one by the LH fence is a public footpath. So I think this was updated from aerial photos. Ferdinand

FOI?

The two I have fitted recently have B as 900-950mm, but longer trays and full screens on the end. The latestalso has a 20mm upstand. Had a chat to the fitter at subfloor level, and I wanted it to be minimal and water retaining but not flat, and wheelchairable. You can always take 5mm off by using more screed or glue, but not add it back on. This tray is 900 x 1800. The sloping roof also means my shower is positioned so that spray would stay in with no door. I will probably remove that door and cap the screen end as I think I will not find a magnetic door seal easily. You could make A into a shower curtain or a hinged or multifold screen.

I did not mention it specifically but it comes with a thermostat. We used to have a single wire version of one of these that was about 5 feet long behind a run of wardrobes at the old stone farmhouse.

Welcome to the forum. On this subject I am just the annoying voice in the Passive Cat Flap, however.

One option not mentioned is to put a traditional tubular loft or airing cupboard heater behind your bed. About £25. Say 40W or 80W and could presumably go on a timer. https://www.screwfix.com/p/dimplex-ecot2ft-wall-mounted-tubular-heater-80w/1796F https://www.screwfix.com/p/dimplex-ecot1ft-wall-mounted-tubular-heater-40w/3951f May be just the right amount to rebalance things, and raise the temp of that wall. Everso simple: F

Green Building Forum ... long running forum ie 10 years plus. BH seems to have largely taken over their self-build segment. GBF has for me generally been a bit more boffin-y and good for detailed howto questions where methods are not very widely established or accepted .. so eg for confirming by educated guesses. Best way to navigate it is via Google. (imo)

Actually doing my new bathroom took the fitter 13 and a half days, including a totally new sound insulation layer, subfloor, floor, ufh and tiles, and an entire @Onoff of pfaffing. F704A76E-1B3F-4540-B885-AD03DEA530D4.MOV

Milano Rasa sounds like a type of ice cream. Certainly not at all ascetic unless you plan to line it with sandpaper.

Back in the Spring I posted a planned design for a refurbishment of my main family bathroom. This is now 96% complete, and this is the After video. AFTER

Yep ... if you do get a walk in you have to be well-enough controlled to avoid spraying the water out of the gap.

i have one of the Lillangen sinks from Ikea in my tight bathroom. Available in several sizes including 400 x 400, 400 x 600 and one only 270 deep. Big enough to be very comfortable to use, and also good shape for washing and soaking things. Also inexpensive. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lillangen-single-wash-basin-white-00135419/

I would think that 1000x760 could be Ok with an entry slot, not a door, would be Ok depending on where you put the shower head. F

Edited.

Interesting. GBF and no one called it. Inthink it assumed that the next person would have checked. should I edit?

You need to consider your chimneys carefully. The blocked off ones will be uninsulated spaces exposed to outside, depending on how you choose to block them. Summary copied form here: http://www.greenbuilding.co.uk/GBF_Forum/discussion/comment/213675/#Comment_213675

Welcome.

No. This. Remember it has to be green or brown so the baby effect will not show.
