Thanks, I did have a couple of little hiccups along the way. The textured tiles although swish - are a nightmare to work with. The ends are interlocking as so will always need cutting at the edge of a wall. Grouting is a pain as the grout can't be smoothed off with a rubber float. In the end I...

I used a cement residue remover to clean the tiles, the dark tiles needing several applications to remove excess grout which wasn't always easy to spot. The pipe cover for the shower waste was made with QBoard and then tiles over. Installing a B&Q shower rail was problematic. Not with...

The window was done with my system for holding the tiles in place Grouting the lighter tiles was easy enough. The dark grey ones were difficult with them being textured. Radiator anchoring points were fitted into studwork. I'd already measured where the anchoring points would be prior to...

I used dot and dab and plastic dowels on the solid wall and screws and Wedi washers on the stud wall. Wedi 610 was used on abutting ends. The floor was covered in Ditra matting and Kerdi band. Maybe a bit of overkill and it's only a bathroom - not a wet room. Anyway, we decided on a wall hung...

Following on from my previous cottage bathroom renovation, my wife decided that the main home's bathroom should have a more contemporary look. Another part of the reason was the state of the shower enclosure which had had a persistent leak over time, it was also took big for the fairly small...

I have that version of SwiftKey installed and can confirm that it's fixed the typing bugs. Sadly it looks as though the bug fix on the chromium site hasn't progressed any further.

The pictures aren't working .

As above, hard to tell without seeing pics. Is the bath sealed to the wall properly ?

It happens to me on another forum I use - from the looks of it it's a Chrome bug. It's when a RichTextEditor box is Iframe editable rather than DIV editable. Xenforo.com which I assume makes this forum software has a test example here: https://xenforo.com/bugs/android-rte-autocomplete-bug.html...

It is THE Department of the Bleeding Obvious, most of it is common sense. I have an office job, less than 10 of us in a the office, but still required to stick up H&S notices! Quite a safe environment I would have thought.

I bought a sink jig and used that along with measurements of the sink. Did the cut in a few passes.

If there isn't a radius on the worktop then I would butt join. I did this on my solid wood worktop. No reason why a butt join won't look neat (y)

Update: I've finally finished the bathroom! Carrying on from where I left off, I got the wall painted around the shower area, I installed the rigid riser and shower curtain rail. It was a little awkward holding the rail in position while marking the drill holes and ideally I could have done...

Yes I am! Although it works just fine on a different forum which uses the same forum software.

Thanks Doggit (y) in hindsight I probably could have cut back the worktop given the damage was only about 3mm deep. I'll stick up a new thread in DIY projects once I get a more up to date picture of the kitchen :)

From a bottle trap with a compression/pushfit outlet to a bare vertical 32mm pipe you would use a 32mm conversion elbow. A picture would help in any case :)

I thought about trimming slightly further back but that would have brought the front out more than I was happy with. Also it would have been awkward to fit an upstand without trimming it because of there not being much height to the window cill as shown below. In the end I got my dad in law to...

When I fitted my water butt I cut the drain pipe in situ, it had enough movement that I could get the diverter in easily enough. If the drain pipe isn't co-operating, just temporarily undo one of the pipe clips.

Last summer I carried out a kitchen refurb, part of which involved replaced the sink and worktop. The sink was a ~50kg Belfast style and the worktop made from rubber wood. Therefore I needed to cut a neat recess. The worktop came with it's own router bit which blunted after only a couple of...

Would it be possible to get an air brick fitted? It would help with the ventilation.
