Evening fella'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
