Hi folks, me again - seems I was accidentally suspended from the forum (lols) so had some time over the weekend to leave all the other jobs half finished and start another. Edition, water closet! I had held off of this one due to Part 7 Wall Knock Through clogging up brain cells and one option would mean the WC would be knocked down. Anyways, interest rates has killed that idea - so onto a quick refurb.
1. Super tight hard-lined sink. Spent about 45 seconds trying to get to the water connection.
2. Used a hammer instead
3. Toilet was a pain too:
4. So used a hammer:
5. Full bore and PTFE because that's how I roll, regardless of modern advice on compression fittings:
6. First fix:
Toilet and sink get delivered Tuesday. The radiator will likely stay in place but just get painted. Just trying to work out what concoction of waste fitting pipes I need. Luckily I have a bunch thanks to past endeavours. This worked but was obviously ridiculous:
I think I'll grab one of these:
(The floor is concrete/it fits into clay).
And then use the Grohe 110 to 90 converter.
OCUK: Should I yolo and drill the 10mm hole in the floor and pray I don't hit any water or clay pipes?
