Hating this bathroom !

[Chalker]

Started a bathroom on Monday, it was a small bathroom and next to it was a small shower room. Now knocking it into one larger bathroom/ shower room.

so far everything is a pain! Floor tiles were onto 6 mm ply screwed every 4 inch, and when removed the floor was a patchwork of badly fitted boards. So took the whole floor up. Relaid with 18mm ply and levelled.

plaster was dead as a dodo! So removed with a shovel! Hoped plasterer would be able to dot and dab newscaster board onto the wall. But checking with my laser its 3 inch out from top to bottom! So have had to profile cut individual timbers to level it back up.

hopefully getting two days extra from customer.

having to work tomorrow to be ready for plasterer so mighty pixxxed off!

Just think, by the time you come to tiling, you could get a child to do it. Nothing better than tiling your own walls, no point to point cutting, 6 mm trowel even with larger formats. The extra time you put in on the prep side you will save on the tiling... Good job

Good job. But it wouldnt be easier and quicker IF you will use metal studs/drylining system?

I'm just messing
I'm aware of them lizzard, The only downside is you need to start off with a full width stud, whereas in timber, they can be cut down to start off with a sliver/feather edge, perhaps saving 2-3" into the room

 

[lizzardtong]

There is a way around it. You can start wit dot and dab on let say half a board and other half can be screwed to studs

Didnt have space to use anything else as its tight on the shower tray. As for the ceiling, it was easier to take it down. See pic!

 

[Mr Tiler]

would those walls be strong enough to hold tile lizard? cheers
