Normally I would do a pour of self levelling but it was pretty good. I used a few of the levelling clips by the staircase as it was a little out.

I’ve learnt a lot and it’s given me a good insight to what’s to come eventually eg heat pumps etc

Cost is on the above link, hours involved I think it depends on how quickly you pick it up and get the questions right?

That looks pretty tidy to me. I need a dry day with no interruptions to sort mine. Long days and just throwing stuff into it is no good.

The optimaxx ones you can see mate? I use them on any woodwork I need to do. They sit flat to the surface.

The big ones I got about 15 years ago from a well known diy store with only 2 letters from the alphabet in its name. They were on offer. I think they were £12.00 for 3, so got 3 sets. The smaller ones I have I got for an absolute Steal. Got about 32 of them for £10.00 (and they are brilliant. They interlock with each other with side clips)What made you buy shares in Stanley?

Oh blimey. Blast from the past. As the good person above mentioned. They were for fixing toilet pans down. But I don’t use that version anymore. I use the Fischer version as they are prettier.

Yeah it's got another 300mm above it
Was best place for it, otherwise pipes below boiler would of needed to come lower to accommodate it there.

Well it's another rough as bulls lugs jobs that's coming out. Didnt look too bad until started pulling it apart. Cladding in shower on top of tiles, floor tiles under lino. Floor falls away in two directions. Bath and shower wastes running up hill. Ah well. Sandwich time.

Nice Mr Evil I'd be consered about the towel rad being there can see it rusting ? but the customer gets what they want ,9 days is a quick turn around mate well done regards kop

Yes you're probably right. A stainless one was considered, but at over double the price it seemed a lot extra. Considering that if there was excessive water down that end it'd be coming out the tray and into the room I was hoping it'd be OK, thrown in the fact good extraction, and it's a Zehnder not some cheap s***, fingers crossed
My personal preference would be next to basin, but as you say. What customer wants, customer gets. Especially with this customer too.

Not pretty so I will get my excuses in early
These were subbing jobs and I have to make what I’m given fit and it’s always a rush
I burnt the unit, didn’t have a compression elbow or a bracket to stand the expansion vessel upright

Got my tiling done today , plasterer came Friday so together we repaired the coving, bonded out the ceiling and wall to build out before skimming the whole area drying out nicely so all in all its coming together slowly, decorating hopefully middle of the week then the units need swapping over. Kop
