Good thats made it a little easier for me.Thanks

Do i have to bond the backerboard down or screw it direct to the floor.

Another question where is the best place to get the backerboard from.

Gaz

You can just screw directly to your floorboards after securing...and the best place for backer board is...well...I will give you 3 guesses lol:wink_smile:

Evening fella'sSorry for the delay but have been a wee bit busy with a few other jobs awell.

Managed to get the studding up a treat, now have to move some pipes etc and the wiring (just incase anything goes wrong in future.

Having removed the bathroom wall skin means i can put some extra sockets in the bedroom (now she wants the sodding tv mounting onm the bloody wall).

Took some pics of the studding (boring) and after ive sorted the pipes out i can the get on with boarding the floor and make a start on the tiling (I hope).

Any way so far ive strenghtened the wall, moved some mains sockets, changed the rad for a slightly smaller one and mounted a tv.

See ya's later.

Sorry guys heres the pic's

Well its taken longer than expected as ive had a few rush jobs on (typical)

Gaz i rang on the the shops earlier enquiring over the Backerboard and the guy didnt seem to sure as what i was asking:-( (probably me).

The floor has been screwed down well and the wall studding increased from the last picy, i was wondering if i needed to bond the board down as the floor is pretty flatish but was wondering about bonding it down to get it really flat.

I was going to use a flexible adhesive but was unsure which to use, as he didnt quite know i rang another branch and the guy said he was just with a customer and would ring me back, but he must have forgot too.


Anyway earlier on further up in the thread i was said that i could screw direct to floor, but would feel better sticking it and screwing it, what do you think?.

Ps

one quoted me £56.00 for a bag of adhesive? is tthat right.

Many thanks again fella's
