It perhaps wasn't clear in my original post but the bath will be boxed in, aquapanelled and tiled down to the bamboo floor. There is no removable bath panel as such (I have access to the waste and overflow from behind because it is in the eves of a loft conversion).

We have decided on having a bamboo floor in our family bathroom. One wall and the bath boxing will be tiled with large format porcelain tiles. I'm planning laying the floor first and then tiling down to cover the expansion gaps. Having just watched my 20 month old pour a bottle of water out...

I have a Bosch GLL 2-50 and have successfully used it outside for brickwork, foundations and oversite levelling. A set of red tinted laser glasses make a significant difference to the useable range and only cost £10. Admittedly it can be a bit of a struggle in direct sunlight though and beyond...

£180 will buy you a decent professional self leveling cross line laser suitable for your job, red glasses will help to see the line outside. See my thoughts here: //www.diynot.com/forums/tools-materials/laser-level.337192/ Before I poured my foundations I bought a couple of packs of...

I'm currently side extending and loft converting a bungalow on a, where possible, DIY basis. I have a couple of dormers to build, one has a relatively simple flat roof. The second has a largely tiled pitched roof with hip but to stop it extending above the ridgeline is topped with a small...

Its got to be said I hadn't considered the stuffed dog factor ;-) Many thanks for the responses, think I know what needs to be done for a belt and braces approach. Best dig out the shovel. Are there any other recommended storage boilers the Valliant 937 looks good but the 15l storage...

Hello, long time lurker, first post so go gentle with me. I have run-down a 50's bungalow which we are planning to extend both sideways and into the loft. This will result in a 3 bed, 1 bath, 1 ensuite and possibly downstairs shower room. Currently there is just the two of us but this will...
