Don't think all the subscribers are from here - got some friends to follow me and picked up some followers off a renewable energy website. 

 

But I think Buildhub is by far the best "expert" site I've come across for DIY advice.

Looks like you did a good job, have you been inside with the door shut to check for any other obvious gaps ?

Those little off cuts on the back look s**t. ?

Always good to use up off cuts so well done and as you say it’s on the inside of a shed so no bother.

Looks a good job.

 

I think the only thing I might have done differently would be to treat/paint the battens first so that the back was also fully protected. If doing a lot more I might have created a temporary long thin bath out of 2 battens and some polythene.

I assume they he is using treated timber so should be fine.

 I did think of doing that and then decided against it. Now that the project is done, I kinda wish I’d done that. Won’t skip this step next time.

Yes, the timber was treated Cpd, but I guess you can never do too much to protect wood. I’m starting to learn this.

Yeah, I know. Didn't want to waste a lot of time cutting neat little pieces and no one's ever going to see them ?

 

Lift my floor boards up, where I'VE worked and it's all clean and vacuumed. No sawdust or other debris. Under my bath, behind the panel, is as neat as the bathroom itself.

That's respectable.

 

The house we moved into was gutted and completely redone by the previous owners. They cut so many corners, which you only find when you start looking at things closely, but the one thing that we have found astounding has been the amount of rubbish, packaging and filth that has been hidden behind "finished" things, which we find shocking given that they had a skip here to dispose of all such crap during there rebuild.

 

We found discarded packaging under the bathtub (see attached image), general filth and rubble behind the kitchen skirting boards, and I'm not even going to address what we found up the chimney stack. 

 

I find that kind of stuff disreputable and lazy.

The idea behind my bathroom build was that it's a bit of a "retreat" from the rest of the place that's so badly done. Sort of gives me hope that one day the whole place will be like it. People do comment "...just the rest of the house to do now then!"

 

For instance I've 4 (was 6) different ground floor levels!
