Yeah what I'm saying is I haven't put water through it at all..so the first time I open the gates it'll either be 2nd fix and behind spenny marble or easily accessible. The reason it's a question/risk is because to plumb it in, it'd be much easier to kill the old bathroom.
What "man jobs" have you done today?

I am in so much pain but it's done. Will have a moan tomorrow and get a refund on a pack of planks - two were misprinted and loads were damaged on the grooves so I have to really plan my cuts to make sure any waste was on the bad bits. Looks great though.
@dlockers did you resolve your toilet waste issue?
Yeah - well, you may have to be more specific
. My issue was I didn't have the core bit and didn't fancy buying it. So had to wait until my brother was available. All sorted now. I can see why the plumber wanted a grand tbh. Lots of messing around as I needed to retain the old stack temporarily (the boss has a mechanical fixing for the bath waste, which is still in use). If you mean reducing the 110 down to 90, I had forgotten the adaptor is in the box. So I have a nice push fit 110 out of the wall, which I then tickled with the heat gun to make it wide enough to get a solid a solvent weld to a 90 degree.

replied to the thread but thought I'd gone crazy when it vanished.

Sobered up from yesterdays excellent session at the football.....does that count as a 'man job'? 
The 110 adapter
I vanished it, on request
to save dlockers from admitting the error of his ways, however; he's now admitted the error of his ways. I feel redundant

Built an IKEA Kallak unit
Ban. Project from start to finish in one post is just outrageous.Taken far too long to complete, recap plus big job on the hallway now
Haha yeah but now you've told everyone I reported to mods my incompetence so it's balanced outI vanished it, on request
I feel redundant
Edit: continued incompetence
Built an IKEA Kallak unit
I built one at the weekend too. It would have been sooner but Ikea sent two box 2's and the fixings are in box 1
. They finally sent a box 1 and told us to dispose of the spare box 2 as it would be uneconomic to be sent back.Wondering what I can build with half a Kallak unit now...

Get someone to contact them and say they're missing some bits, and request a box 1.I built one at the weekend too. It would have been sooner but Ikea sent two box 2's and the fixings are in box 1

Was just about to bite the bullet and glue the Hardie backer down. I haven't primed the chipboard. Is that a problem?Test it..
Test it all, test the flush on the toilet as well.
The adhesive is just to take any bumps out, the mechanical fixing with screws should be fine. That said I prime anything that moves.
You should see my dog.

Spent 2.5 hours in Wickes. (With the kids as well) Going through a kitchen that ended up 20k.
Now I'm sat planning in my head on doing it myself. But trying to think of plans so the Mrs doesn't end me.
