I'll screw the bath to the wall (I can see the bracket may slide on the screw head if there's enough force though). I assume noggins are struts between joists? (I had to google...) Not too sure how to add them, is there a guide? I tried to google but my DIY vocab is way behind my googling...

I'm liking the soup idea... The skis can't traverse the room, I'd have wooden bumps in the floor! They traverse 2 joists. They are not yet screwed down and the bath isn't yet screwed to the wall, but I don't actually think that will make a huge difference. It'll be a while before I need to...

I screwed the bath legs to 2x4 which are resting on top of the floorboards. the 2x4 are the skis. They can't go directly on top of the joists due to the position of them, the 2x4 would have to come out too far. It's times like this I wish I had a camera.... I shall try to give more detail...

1: I was considering a bunch of shelf type brackets to support the rim on 2 walls, does this seem reasonable? 2: I'm really going off wood. I feel like replacing all the joists with metal! This house is a nightmare.... 3: My worry is that this doesn't solve it and the joists are just...

It's difficult to tell, but I couldn't see any when I pushed with a long piece of wood. The joists go into a gap in the wall and just sit there. It's actually 5mm lower at the wall where the joist sits in the wall. The bath is 170cm long with the legs at 49cm from the end. It's a center...

I'm doing up my bathroom, replaced a load of floorboards under the bath due to woodworm, treated the new wood and the joists (which did have a small amount of worm damage). The joists did seem to have some sideways movement but was told this shouldn't be a problem once the floorboards were in...

Ah, interesting stuff! I'll bookmark this for when I do the kitchen... Well, it's stayed on the wall overnight, I guess it'll be alright. Thanks Roughcaster :)

I did spray water onto the brickwork before rendering. I didn't scratchcoat as I've only just googled it. I didn't use any plasticiser. It looked well mixed enough, I spent long enough mixing it! Heavy to use? Not sure I understand that, how would you make it less heavy? The sun can't reach...

I've just attempted to render some areas after burying pipes into the wall. It's cracking after about 20 minutes, it hasn't set fully yet. I'm new at this and would appreciate any insight. The mix I used was 3:1.
