Onoff Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Again looks better in real life: Been messing around with the angle of the LED strip to light the mosaics. Hoping to fit the end panel on the bath once and for all next. I'll white silicone the joints around the removeable panels then grout the rest. Tbh......could I just white silicone all the joints instead of grout at least on the long side and end and just grout the top? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I would do. Must say, its all coming together nicely . Yes to the silicone around the spots, not grease. Silicone would clean off no problem if needed, whereas the grease will just end up doing nowt. 5 LEDs across the front is 'spot' on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siliconed in with some Dow Corning 785+. Got Forever White to do the "grouting". Will have a fair few leftover, part used tubes of various (decent quality) silicones etc left over I reckon. Don't reckon they'll still be in date by the time I start the en suite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should of done RGB LED then you could change the 'mood' when you're rub a dub dub in the tub! Edited January 31, 2019 by pocster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the long pocket it is an RGB strip, see the remote sitting on the shelf. The 3 pocket lights and 5 along the base of the bath are plain blue, cheapo deck lights.

So now if you enter the bathroom whilst SWMBO is in the bath and the lighting is red ; you are in trouble . Red = anger ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all pretty relaxing lying in there (listening to a bit of Deadmau5). Although I've multiple points in the ceiling missing insulation between the joists at the mo, the room holds the heat. Also really quiet which I didnt expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 That's the Geberit wall drain in. Push the brushed st/st plate in, bring it down onto 8mm packs, take the plate off and lock in place with the Allen key. Push plate back in. The brushed finish doesn't really match the chromed mixer, riser rail, flush plate etc but hey ho. Tbh the simple look belies the work that went into this and what's hidden in the wall & floor: Geberit never cease to amaze me. I invariably look at the instructions and first think WTF? Then I figure it out and think how bloody clever albeit simple. It's just good design. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) With downstairs looking like this: There's still a bit to be done in the loft. More "with hindsight" moments at every turn! Tonight's fun getting mains cold to the basin! These are the pipes going down to the basin and bath: I've cleaned and fluxed the Yorkshire elbow closest to the camera but yet to solder it. First could have done that better moment: I was impressed by the way the 15mm pipe clips clipped together. Never gave a thought as to how I might insulate them and this in a section of hip end that's totally uninsulated. (Yes I bent all the pipes in one go). The middle pipe is the mains cold. It runs down from the bottom of the picture... ...and at the mo a scrap bit of pipe is just abutting the concrete padstone: The Pegler valve is on the incoming mains. It runs to the tee I'm pointing to. The bottom of the tee feeds the new Geberit wall hung wc in the bathroom downstairs. Out the top of the tee, where the pipe cranks, it goes up the side of the dormer then across the ceiling of the dormer to feed the kitchen the other side of the house. I need now to crank that bit of pipe touching the padstone and bring into the tee I'm holding. I don't want to upset the existing tee soldering for a start. Thinking maybe I move the Pegler valve back and put the tee in there. Should I put another, separate, valve in the run to the sink mains? Then again should I change the Yorkshire tee to a compression. I say this as "later" I might want to feed the upstairs en suite with mains for the wc and basin. Thanks for looking.

Onoff Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Another valve, off of a tee after the exising makes sense I think. Means I can shut down the bathroom basin cold without affecting the kettle supply in the kitchen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 At least we have some certainty HOW and WHEN this bathroom will end, unlike the "other subject" Okay the When is a little harder to pin down, but I think it might end before that we shall not speak of on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
