Right @Mr Punter I’ve got the offending tile off . But I do know from experience getting the adhesive off will just destroy the delta board . What’s the best option here ? ( spoil sport ! ) 

 

Right first time...

Super happy today !

With SWMBO’s smaller hands and greater flexibility plumbed the bath waste in ! . Lowered it - filled it - let it drain .

No leaks ??

 

Why does that entire wall look like Sam the Eagle from the Muppets?

Such is life . A sequence of errors with the occasional success .

[Pocster]

Assume this is better . Nothing fixed yet . Guessing these geberit pipes go here ?

A bit of silicone grease is your friend on those pipes and round the rubber.

Sure thing. I was just checking it's all correct. Tiles not even stuck back on the wall yet....

Taking ages to finish is considered a good thing in some circles...

Saga? - you've obviously been spared @Onoff 's biblical bathroom thread. We are only at 50 pages here. I think @Gav_P ; you need to read it and get caught up with true Saga's. ?

Possibly, but in most cases it’s better to finish before dying of old age... I feel @pocsters and you bathrooms are both going to take longer than the coliseum to build!

would it not be prudent to tile the floor before you fix that tile? ?

Why’s that ? . I was going to start on the floor anyway but only because I’m still waiting on the wall tiles to arrive .

Go on ! It’s like War and Peace - but even more boring . I’d also like to point out in the time it took @Onoff to do his bathroom I built an entire house ; so I’m ninja fast !!

I  think that one's gone.

 

According to historians, the Colisseum was finished in 8 years.

@Onoff's boudoir took longer already.

Bathroom floor ready for de coupling mat tomorrow.

[Pocster]

Though I notice that the floor tile grout lines cannot match the wall lines . Out quite a bit on one side of the room . I assume have one side line up and the other not ;would look wrong . If I shift it along a bit then none will line up on either side - this better ??

[Pocster]

While I debate what to do ( though assume shifting the whole floor up so no line up with wall grout lines is best ) 

Bought some of these ‘corner’ spacers to go with the wedge system . 
Just feel happier knowing the corners are level .
