I did look at that, but the ones I've found online (excl. a couple I didn't find too reliable), seem to adjust down to 960mm. Which wouldn't be sufficient for me.

Ended up with a 930 - 945mm gap in the shower. It was supposed to be a walk in, which meant I never measure to closely as it wasn't going to have a door. But in hindsight it really needs one. I've fitted a number of shower doors in the past, and have typically not had issues adjusting down a...

Follow up question. Why would they do that?

195 newbuilds are going up behind us, and I noticed that there are a number of missing bricks one row up from the airbricks. This is just one of the houses, but they seem to have this all. Does anyone know why they might be doing this? It's an incredibly wet site (groundwater at surface level)...

Measured up and all the slightly raised edges are approx. 6 - 7cm wide. So if I take off 2cm each side there's plenty left. Underneath it would only impact the riser kit fixing holes. But as I'm not using those, it would just sit on the raised bits that are built in to fit it flat to the floor.

Looking at this Mira Flight shower tray, which is exactly what I'm after. Or almost exactly what I'm after. Somehow my blockwork walls ended up 4cm too narrow. So now I'm left with 96cm walls and a 100cm shower tray. I can see 3 options: - Cut 4 cm of the shower tray (would prefer to go 2cm...

Went a bit more belts and braces, especially as my insulation in that area wasn't great. So dug it out, fitted some solid sheets and filled all gaps with expanding foam (not pictured). And also fitted a lintel as I had one lying around anyway.

Council seems to be bending over backwards to progress a local development, and will seemingly quite happily apply dirty tactics. I.e: Designated the piece of land a core refuge for Brent Geese and other migrating birds in 2019, but never published it. So when it came to approving planning for...

Exactly what I had in mind. Good to hear that's a valid option! PS: Starting cutting in to the walls to fit that concealed cistern (y)

Was hoping to flush fit the large sliding doors, so kids (and me, really) wouldn't trip over them when going in and out of the house. Trouble is that after having done my last calculations, I'm consistently 1cm (10mm) too low. So the finished floor with stick up by 10mm above the doorframe. I'm...

I assume that recessed wall is a stud wall? How thick is it and how did you create the recess? Loving what you did there, so now trying to figure out how to copy it ;)

Thanks for sharing these. Very insightful and good examples of what we can achieve with the space. Is that a towel rack above the door?

I've taken out some old doorways, so have some spare lintels. If I end up going down that route, I'll definitely put one in. Considering how little added effort and cost there is, I might as well.

I like the idea of a 600mm door too, especially if there's no building regs saying it's not allowed. The 10 - 14 cm I'd gain would come in handy.

That is ingenious and impressive. Is that yours? Did you fit a lintel above it?

Open to alternative layouts/ideas. Doorway has to be on the long end though. Toilet is located against the external wall as there is already a toilet there. Shower drains will run under sink and toilet cistern cupboard.

I am planning on repurposing part of our family bathroom to be an ensuite to one of the bedrooms by adding a new door and putting up a stud wall. I've not created the new doorway yet, so am still somewhat flexible as to its placement along the long wall. Space is tight and the ensuite will...

I'm not planning on filling the pond or lining it. I just want to dig a hole for the groundwater to go, instead of all over the rest of the garden. If that would make a difference. Otherwise I'll not go through the effort.

We're on heavy clay, and are right next to the sea so there's pressure from the sea on ground water levels. The garden is often waterlogged, so I'm trying to think of ways to provide some relief. Thought a pond would create more space for water, as it takes out sand/clay and makes more room for...

How did you measure where to cut? 'cause part of the appeal of it is being able to lay the sheet on a flat surface, rather than figuring out where to cut the EPDM (and the worry of cutting it in the wrong place.
