No seat

Were you in my house to take that photo?

A nice dark wood, definitely not white, but possibly black

Anyone got a recommendation for a structural engineer?

Ours is ghosting us, and we need an urgent modification to some calcs...

Not in London but I can recommend someone we’ve used in Glasgow.

WHUT? Whats going on?

Nothing lol, we just used 3x 50x150mm trimmers instead of 2x 50x175mm as part of the ground floor flat roof, so building control now require revised calcs iMmEdIaTeLy to sign this off.

Oh phew.

White seat

Votes in and split. Much like in my household. Likely to be dark wood I think. Thanks all

Custom aluminium hoppers and downpipes arrived.

RAL1017, complementing bricks, window frames and crucially, the purple quarry tiles courtesy of @dbr

Designed the hoppers to a similar shape and dimensions as the small rectilinear Lindab ones, but compatible with smooth recessed pipe fittings so the joins won't be as visible. Wall brackets are vertical mullion type, so won't be visible either.

This is next level attention to detail considering you're doing all this yourself! Well done!

Yeah. Madness. In a good way.

I don’t know any of the words he used but feel I need them all.

Work has progressed at a snails pace on the bathroom. I now need help. Do I tile the bath panel? Or do I do something with wood (stained marine ply to match the sink unit)?

I'm starting to feel that the not so "off-white / mostly grey" tiles might be a little too much on wall and panel and I do like some wood in the bathroom (fnar fnar).

Thoughts? It will also annoy me that I can't start from a full tile from the bottom as I wanted to start at full tile around the bath edge. So I'll have 2/3 of a tile as the bottom of the panel and this will be most visible.

Whats your plan for a mirror? My sink is half in front of a window, so kinda struggling (have a sliding door cupboard).

Will have one inset to the left, you can just make out the hole. Will have a wood trim and inset a couple of inches with some glo balls on either side.

Ahhhh so not above the sink at all. Maybe I need to do the same.

I’m only doing it this way as I’m lazy and didn’t want to move the existing pipework for anything. I’m retaining the exact layout of the bathroom we inherited.

You can get some decent looking small round suction ones that can go on the window. Just anticipate the ladies in your life complaining about the lack of a mirror over the sink, ask how I know...

Let’s not focus on Chris’s mirror situation. We need to be discussing tiled bath panel or non tiled / potential wood bath panel…

Tiled

+1 for tiles

Could you cut them all to half the height of the bath so they are the same height? Don’t know if that would be more or less jarring contrast with the walls than one longer than the other.

I’d be tempted to run the boards vertically up the bath

Can’t tell if that would look good or shit
