Just been in there for a shower in the wet room corner.....15degC. Not saying it's cold but a polar bear ran OUT. 

 

Please, take her.

225kg you sure ?? ?

Couple of pics of the underlying detail where the LED strip is:

 

2 strips of ply to give depth:

 

 

 

Then a capping piece. Sort of forms a shelf the LED channel sits on. Tbh it's sat up there "loose" 'ish:

 

 

Back to back trim on the capping piece:

 

 

 

 

When you're lying in the bath you can't see the strip, you just get a "glow" washing the mosaics.

Just been playing with my rgbw controller . Got everything working crudely - could do with a colour picker in the HA .

But pretty , pretty ...

Go (expletive deleted) one 

[Pocster]

For reasons I now remember! Toilet flush plate a little to recessed ! . Don’t have any geberit flush plate buttons to hand but assume I can extend the presumably plastic plunger . Reason this is so recessed is I had problems getting the waste in as right next to concrete lintel on one side and ufh in screed on the other .

[PeterW]

Yep they have screw type adjusters on the plate mechanism

The Geberit mechanisms look complicated to start off with (imho), then when you've figured it you wonder why anyone would do it any other way!

Ummmmm , I think so ! Need to check original order to be certain.

I thought it was a really good job ?

 

Sad thing is I went round pushing the corner of my tiles to see if they moved ...

[Pocster]

I swear one corner moves ! ( outside the shower area ) . Not like in the video though - perhaps a fraction of a mm . Or my eyes are tricking me !!! . I need to walk away from the tiles .

I was confused how he suggested water / vapour can get behind the tiles ( assuming no gap of course ) . Surely that simply shouldn’t happen ?

[Pocster]

Right ! I’ve knocked the corner of every tile ffs ! . One is hollow . @Onoff stop putting up these tiling horror movies ! They scare me too much

Pre grouting you can use maybe use this if it bothers you:

 

 

Tbh you can even do it after grouting which is what I think it's really meant for. (You drill a hole in the grout).

I’m not worried ! But yes ! If my floor was like that with movement- it’s a good thing to be aware of

My sister had her bathroom tiled like that, I could have done better with my feet!!! (She didn’t want to ask me as she knew I was busy) I found her a “proper” tiler.

I think that video was one of Nicks efforts when he was on holiday in the USA.....

[Pocster]

Doh ! . For reasons unknown I put 2 tiles in the rear of the recess . If I just rotated the full tile would of got rid of the grout line . What was I thinking !!

If SWMBO says nothing then that’s good - if she mentions it I’ll just stick a tile on top ! . Those ain’t coming out an easy way . 
Must be getting tiling fatigue syndrome ( TFS )

Are the angles going to lap over the 4 tiles that line the reveal?

[Onoff]

Herringbone would have been much more forgiving..
