Onoff Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I've a few ammo boxes here I'll likely never use. All different sizes. My brother used to get them for me when I was a kid. Started off with spent shell casings! A bit of sentimental value maybe but nowt else. The 5 gallon fuel can though I do use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basildons almost on the way to you. That could be a very useful trip..... Are you still looking for a mirror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be 700mm wide, no more no less. 700x700, 800 or 900 would work. Tbh just haven't got around to finding one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is actually about the size for a above bowl medicine / makeup cupboard. Just a plain mirror. I've a back box there ready as I was just going to put a demister pad on the rear. For about the width of the sink it's an outside wall, brick cavity. So behind the white painted wall I've 2" battens with pir in between. With hindsight I'd have brought that studded wall out further and fitted a flush cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Check at Ikea, where I am currently looking. They always have good value mirrors; I have one of theirs in my hall. 650 x 650 at £17 https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/nissedal-mirror-black-50320320/ Have you considered a bigger one extending over the bath, or two separates - they currently have one that is just under 80cm x 2m for about £90. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/cat/large-mirrors-24859/ Anyhoo, here is one from Ideal Standard that looks good. May have better price elsewhere. https://victoriaplum.com/product/ideal-standard-framed-mirror-800-x-700mm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I wonder if a big, long one over the bath might work well, and a 600mm round one over the whb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to view a house, years ago, that had a large mirror above the bed, on the ceiling in the main bedroom. The bed was covered in black satin sheets. Even the estate agent showing us around was giggling a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
