Do yourself a favour while you are behind the shed - Put some guttering along that roof to stop water coming off and splashing up bottom of shed -The builders that did my bathroom tiled into my bath so you get two good seals. They started tiling from a bit of stripwood after working out the layout and the hight of the bath so they only needed to do a single row of tiles with the bath in place. I was unsure about it but after seeing it for myself it made sense and you're not just relying on that single bead of silicone.
Today was tarting up the garden and protecting the back of the shed that gets hit with the most sun (lol) and rain. It was so dry I could go left to right three times without stopping to let it dry. I hate the colour but I never actually see that side.
I want to replace the decking but i've got enough on atm so we'll have to go with home bargains grey for now.
What "man jobs" have you done today?

That's a great shout...
Would the sides and bottom look naff if they were green? Even if the back of niche is whiteThanks -- I'll batten the wall and I did buy some CLS to batten the front out too but used it for the tile batten. A trip to Wickes is in order anyway as I ran out of adhesive again lol.
^^ this is marble dry fitted which has confused me about doing the back in green a bit. It is a bit of a pointless niche as it isn't tall enough, so I am thinking to "hide it" versus make it a feature...

I tidied my (tiny) workshop over the weekend, so it's ready for me to do a few projects in the coming weeks as the weather improves and the evenings get lighter.
Oh and I used my new soldering iron and helping hands to solder pin headers to an arduino nano!

Not a bad idea, I'll get a water butt so it doesn't flood the side of the concrete base.

Bottom is marble (that's glued) but sides being green might be that subtle detail I am looking for *chefs kiss*

3 trips to Tool Station today, gave up at work at 11am because it felt futile. Managed to get the second fix bath plumbing finalised, I have gone to the effort of hard lining which I may end up regretting.... it is probably just a click too "tight" but it is probably considerably better than most people would find acceptable. I did chance a straight bit of pipe on the 15mm but then bottled it and did an emergency trip for the 135* 15mm.
Also got the vanity and mirror in so it looked like progress.

Started tiling my bathroom floor this weekend, never tiled before but got them all cut and laid out, so just got to take them all up and stick them all down now. Wish me luck.
Really like how you've worked out centre and cut and numbered.
Thanks, much appreciated. I know the 'pros' would be WAY faster than me, but getting the last tile in was really satisfying. I already self levelled the floor, so I know it's absolutely stop on. Next job is obviously getting them all stuck down.
Not keen on the slithers personally
I was originally going to do it with 2 full files and half a tile, but it would have meant the tiles were offset with the door and it just looked wrong, so went with this instead
Rather that than a 1/4 tile that looks really odd.
Couldn't you do one column in the middle and two either side?
I guess not as you need two full tiles at least?

Could do 3/4 of a tile each side and one centre, for total 2.5 tiles

I like the sound of that.
Factory edges would still be on the inside?
