The bathroom fitters we have working on our place at the moment we’re on a call out Saturday for drain issues. Put one of those claw things down of much faff/cameras etc.

Claw caught hold of offending item and everything that had built up behind it. Pair a giant ladies pants had been put down there!!

@seager what underlay is that?

"To double click"

A phrase permeating my workplace when people just want to talk about something in a bit more detail.

A dangerous phrase with poor kerning.

Right yeah it wasn't actual tile trim. I have found what I think I was after, 15mm square edge oak strip. Wouldn't be in a shower, would be a fairly short run across waist height tiles behind the sink/toilet etc.

Wood is all about the vibes. Just need to convince the bathroom fitter its a good idea now...

also is it a terrible idea? I have seen some lovely small oak ledges that sit atop the tiles - kind of want this vibe but not the actual ledge.

I'm thinking of adding an oak tile trim (maybe 15mm) rather than a traditional tile trim/edge thing. In a mostly white-ish bathroom (some pinks maybe) - but I can't think of the life what to search for...if I search oak trim it just comes up as quadrant stuff or faux wood tile trim.

The stuff this guy jammed in was like pink putty/bubblegum (maybe it was!).

I am far too cautious/scared/often searching in Google to validate my concerns to run it like that for any amount of time and would constantly worry especially with my kid and wife in the car.

Yeah over the weekend I barely lost any air when parked, when driving was when the car flagged pressure loss.

I watched the guy plug the tyre this morning and its quite a "rustic" process. It's what lead me to believe it wasn't a permanent solution.

Am booked in for a new tyre tomorrow - I don't really drive but when I do its for long journeys and I don't want to risk it for those more significant journeys.

I think it was a screw from my driveway so I can only blame myself.

I'm pretty sure its not in the "safe area" due to a repair I needed a few years ago that meant a new tyre.

I think I just want someone to tell me I don't need to spend a load of money...also being tight 🤣

Needed to get my tyre plugged as I parked on a screw. Are plugs a permanent solution or should I go and get a patch. And, are patches permanent or should I get a new tyre...?

Ooooh, interested about the seal system? Our single shower outlet arrived and it felt very good quality, heavy etc but I didn't mess around with it too much.

Still waiting on the taps.

that is absolutely genius! And I agree there are loads of cheap MDF/Veneered things out there that just don't do well with water over time...

Goes to ebay to find a gramophone cabinet

But, we’ve pivoted from a Lusso Stone sink to some sort of vanity unit as storage in our tiny bathroom is at a premium.

Anyone got any experience with vanity units? We got one from Tikamoon year ago, love it but it’s well over budget for this bathroom.

The taps weren’t in the box of bits, apparently they’ll arrive tomorrow so I’ll delay my unboxing video for a few days.

Mine have just arrived too! In a box with the builders but I'll do an unboxing video later and put it on youtube.

We have these too. I rate them and with a bit of faff you can get them flush against the wall (I have scribed around the faceplate on some uneven walls)

I fucking hate needing deeper back boxes though - our place had loads of surface mount sockets/switches and I have slowly replaced them but one led to me smashing through to the next room as my house is made from 200 year old cheese and hair apparently.

My boiler is about 15 years old I think, leaks but I have some tupperware that collects the water just fine (unless I forget to empty it).

I'm just waiting for it to fall off the wall before I get it replaced.

Oh nice, good to know. Thanks

Yeah I took a look at MUJI, the range is super limited and they look very basic more-so than IKEA unless I am missing something - maybe they are really well made but hard to determine from their website.

Haha!

BEDS.

Has anyone bought a bed from the Natural Bed Company? https://www.naturalbedcompany.co.uk/

They look like lovely beds. We’re looking for someone quite low in oak…

Afghan Hounds?

Cheers! Doubt it was primed with anything other than the standard primer a cast iron gutter comes with. He also painted an extra section that was pre-painted with a gloss of some sort as it’s the OG gutter.

It’s not big deal but the insurance co want me to sign a thing to say I’m happy etc - I’ll have zero come back after I sign it.
