Yeah I used caulk to fill the minor gaps to the wall and then silicone for the floor. Only a tiny bead required thankfully!Looks good I was going to say if you (must!) seal to floor I'd use silicone rather than caulk.
Have you managed not to scratch the floor after moving about so much furniture on ita good test..
Yeah so I hate plumbing. Replacing the tap was actually really easy but the failed right angled valve was a pain in the rear."So @Uhtred, what can you tell us about what happened here"
"The missus wanted a new tap and...well, you can guess the rest"
Stop wasting your time and just plastic it
I watched a video and thought it doesn't look too bad. Then realised I'd have to redo ridge tiles. As a temporarily/semi permanent fix I've blathering it in a rubber sealant. I even thought ahead and went with black so that it blends in. Next man job today is the neverending weedingI had a similar issue - dodgy roofer. He only sank it like 15mm. The chap he sent to see what the issue was starting flapping about what a crap job the previous person had done, and how it was meant to be sunk at least 35mm. He didn't realise it was his gaffers work
. 134 deg I think
I agree about them not throwing the heat as well.
I'd never looked at plastic before, but i've done a quick orientation and it does seem more diy friendly. I'll go for that next time...if there is a next time!
The fittings are quite a bit more expensive, but for an occasional plumber it isn't a meaningful cost increase (versus the cost of a plumber anyway!). They just removed 90% of installation errors that cause weeps/leaks etc. I use the Hep2o stuff because I was having zero luck with compression fittings.
Or do what my uncle did in the 1980s with his il-gotten wealth and lower the floor to create a conversation pit.You'll have to raise the picture rail and redecorate then, that just won't do....
