With SWMBO’s smaller hands and greater flexibility plumbed the bath waste in ! . Lowered it - filled it - let it drain . No leaks ??

I feel @pocsters and you bathrooms are both going to take longer than the coliseum to build! I think that one's gone. According to historians, the Colisseum was finished in 8 years. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/colosseum/qanda/#:~:text=Answer%3A Between seven and eight,said to have been slaughtered. @Onoff's boudoir took longer already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Bathroom floor ready for de coupling mat tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 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 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
