As a retired plumber I always fitted a backing/strengthening pad under the bath taps to 1) make sure the back nuts would be completely tight when run up and 2) make sure the bath rim would not flex when operating the taps.
I just love to see your eldest daughter being really helpful in every video. her learning that she can do whatever she sets her mind to (despite beeing a girl - I hate society for that mindset) is so wholesome! and she matured up so fast. I am really impressed how she manages, also with the lambing last video. Great girl! girls! of course all of them are wonderful!
Our double ended bath was the same, waste drilled 15mm off centre. Complained to the store, who checked the warehouse and found they were all like that! Gave us £200 off and I managed to find an over flow cover that was much larger and fit it off centre to disguise the mistake👍
Panels should come down on top of the bath with a seal band around perimetre and then silicone. Only thing stoppjng water this way is the silicone seal
Sometimes, sometimes enclosed toilets are the worst purchase.... an old plumber used to just fix these to the floor with silicone, job done he would say...
Known in the trade as a “point and hope” toilet as you never quite know whether that flexi connector has stayed in place when you push it back to the wall 😂!
How about an unusual placement of the taps: In the inner corner, then you can sit down at either end of the tub without banging your head against the tap?!
How has the seal between the bath and wall panels held up ?? I intend to fully strip out and panel my bathroom with 8x4 panels then fit the bath up to the wall . Alot of people frown upon this saying the panels should come down onto the bath . Im planning on squeezing the bath into the walls with a good amount of silicone around the sides that touch the wall then once in position fully seal around the perimeter and finish off with a profile tool. As long as there are no voids in the seal i can't see there being much of a problem and wonder why it's not recommended .
Did exactly as you describe. I would tile down to a bath but finishing walls with full sheets first worked great and with the amount of silicone between bath and wall when fitting it, there is not really any chance of a leak. Also no need to scribe panels at bath ends.
Be wary of the flexible sagging . . . ours slowly sagged and opened the seal to the soil pipe - solved by making a wooden block under the flexible to support it and keep level. (It did take a while to twig where the smell was coming from!)
Too late now, but when I’ve fitted those types of panels in the past, I’ve used a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade, cuts straight with no shattering whatsoever. 👍
Lucky for you guys you don't have any boys 😀 That unsealed toilet on top of the floor would become really nasty quick. I guess caulking around the base is a no go if you have to be able to pull out the toilet to turn water on/off.
How is the water proofing done here? In Oz we would need a painted membrane up all the walls and across the floor to the floor waste under the final finishes
How about a mirror, toilet roll holder, cup holders, shelving and the all important heated towel rail??? Maybe a bit more lighting too, it does look rather spartan. Also can you really have an extractor fan so close to water like that, it seems an odd place to have it.

Yes everything is so wonderful now, modern society in the west will tell her she can be a boy now
Brilliant video , nearly there its looking good now,better when finished. Keep up the good work see you on the next one. take care.
Some great points on the full bore and flow rate of bath. Learnt something new. Thanks!

Does it allow for tiles overhanging the side of the bath?

Loving the 3D Twister game that you played to mark the board out in the bathroom 😂

Not only stinking, sewer pipes can have carbon monoxide in them.
Love your work 👍

@@TheRestorationCouple thanks for the reply, that's given me more confidence now 👍
I think you should of added a big slice of marine ply under the legs of the bath, spreads the weight better! on top of the flooring
Really starting to come together!
Pls can you share any details re the sewage treatment system? Looks ideal for my ‘needs’ Tia 👍🏽
It’s an above ground system from Marsh. It’s smaller than most but great in our situation.
Really liking the grey wall board. Do you have a link for that?

Sized this one up so its not flexible/extended at all once WC is back otherwise it would be more of a concern. 👍

I did top and bottom in the end but just wanted it super clean where it is butted and siliconed against adjacent wall. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple I have just done my shower used a track saw worked perfectly. The ribs were not perfectly vertical so kept crossing them
Hi just wondering where you sourced the shower panels?
Just wondering if you could have found a shorter ruler for cutting that panel?
What is the make model of shower panel being used ?
👍👍👍👍👍

May be, should of fitted a couple lengths of 4x2 under legs, so you dont have to much thread legs
Yes, may have been work doing. 👍

Just fitted a bath and had the exact same issue… overflow 12mm off to right (when in bath). £400 for the item as well🙁

Should have put some wood under those legs to spread the load.

09.30 ... Karma Sutra u2 really !??
Why didn't you just buy a larger outflow? Then centre it
Joe sounded ruff, hope she well enough for your next vlog.
What brand bath did you go for?
No idea! Probably some generic online bath retailer. TBH it just needs to be simple and on budget for this build, nothing fancy until the house! 😂
@@TheRestorationCouple fair enough.. ☺️
I was taught to run 22mm to a bath.
Turned out that any more flow and our boiler wouldn’t keep up anyway. Definitely 22 from a vented system though.
First 😊
