How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

they said they are worried about maintaining the space between, if the roof was somehow pierced and something got in we would have no access.

It does sound like a valid concern. If you built the same distance from centreline as them wouldn't you quickly have a horrible soggy mass of leaves etc in the middle?

Potentially yes. Bit I’d think joining the roofs and a filler piece would seal it.

But yeah, washing our hands of this shit show this weekend.

you will need something to fill that gap

Expanding foam, obvs.

missing cement/putty from when it was re-leaded I think. Guy who did it is going to pop back and try fit some more from the inside. DOing it from outside is a project due to neighbours

Thank very much for the offer but @Mucker is kindly sorting me on this occasion

@Mucker - great Bristol name!!

Is there any reason to keep an electric shower? incoming water pressure is good and hot water obvs comes from boiler

I'm in the planning stages of getting our bathroom so need to decide whether we keep or do away and I get an electrician to isolate it or use it for light mirror or something

Doesn’t sound the most straight forward of jobs but you should get change from 2k

I liked the idea of an electric shower in the en suite so there's a working shower if the boiler ever goes down or needs work. The main bathroom runs off the boiler as it's in the cupboard next door, but the ensuite at the other end of the house has an electric one. It's also one less thing running off of gas in our current gas-reliant configuration.

With regard to the actual shower, it's good, but I was a bit disappointed with a £400 Mira not really feeling any more premium than the £100, aside a different colour.

2nd time we’ve had Mira grumbles on this thread recently - we loved ours for the price (mid range.) in our last house.

Is this the one you were thinking of?

Ha ha yes! Lovely little place.

Their kitchen is almost the same as our pimped children's ikea one!

Bar the splashback 9retty sure that's close to my OH's ideal kitchen.

I was going to do this as there was enough light coming in from both ends of the house to make it work, with the kitchen in the middle, living room to the back and dining room at the front. Would have been great. Moved though and never saw it through :( can dig out a doodled floor plan if you’re curious but not as useful as an actual real thing like that TMH link

Not convinced by square sinks and chrome finishes would become stainless steel.

Yeah would agree, looks perfect for clipping hips on.

U binned off the loft for now ? Would like to be a fly on the wall when Al gets that email. Would probably learn some new words for sure.

Hopefully “professionalism”.

When the room is small, tile it all.

Terma heat Easy might be a better towel rail (I don't like the ones that have the bars that close together.)

Other than that, looks fine. Its a small bathroom, don't overthink it.

I haz that Terma only shorter in a small shower room. Works good and is nice and narrow and unfussy.

Careful where you buy tho. I didn’t twig it came without the heating element or oil.

Will PM you

Maybe a big mirror from waist height on the wall opposite the shower?

Yes. I too like to watch myself shower.

meh, it steams up. can make a small room feel bigger. just my £0.02

I'll move on with my kitchen part II, and bought and got a white DuPont Corian table top – wondering how it will be to work with, need router bits and a saw blade, maybe if someone has hints & tips and findings.
