Onoff Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Nasty Wickes wood battens on and plumb/level. Quick coat of white in the bit you'll see if ever accessing the pipe/valve to the wc: Ran out of gun foam Will get a can in the morning and try and get it all insulated and boarded.

Onoff Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Scored some 30mm Kingspan leftover on a site. Original wall in the cupboard so out of plumb I did two layers of 30mm on the top half with blobs of low expansion foam. Lower down 1 layer of 30mm and a full bed of nom 20mm expanding foam behind. I'll let dry, cut level then wash the bird sh!t off before foil taping a bit of vcl for good measure and boarding.

Onoff Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Some foil tape here and there. Probably overkill insulating these internal walls but SWMBO has commented more than once how quiet the new bathroom is! I need to make a removable / hinged panel feature to access the valve and get my hand in to the right to access the Geberit connections. Sod's Law the panel edges won't fall on grout lines! Maybe do a full width, removable ply panel 3 tiles high and just screw in place? Still fancy something hinged...

bassanclan Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 It's coming along. Go for a fully removable screwed panel, hinged might get on the way whilst working and I doubt you'll need to get in there anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 B@ll@cks! SWMBO has just decreed that she wants to use the 51 leftover grey tiles in the yet to be started upstairs ensuite shower. Nom 1200x800. Said I, "But there's not enough love!" Apparently we're going to use tbe leftover mosaics to make it work. Looks like I'll be plastering inside this cupboard then.

Onoff Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Couldn't find my part roll of green vcl so pressed a 1200mm long, clear refuse sack into use: Really can't fault this Parkside drywall gun: Can't decide on boarding this back bit...thinking down to and up as far as the green arrows and have a full width removable panel. Or do I overboard the narrow bit on the left too and have a smaller panel? This is all going to be plastered. Edited May 9, 2019 by Onoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Got to decide how to finish this reveal off and not see the plasterboard edge. White upvc trim maybe and leave projecting by 3mm so the plaster comes up level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
