is there a reason why the basin pipes are,nt concealed within the pedestal where that should be


Hi pjtiler,

Yes - the cavity in the pedestal is very narrow and only just wide enough for the pedestal trap. As I was using chrome pipe with the stainless flexi tap connectors I didn't think it was too much of a problem aesthetically.

it spoils a very nice job mate
sinking them in the wall would have been a better option

it is his first job and he has done very well ,but that is a good point you make about the pipes and something he can think about on his next job.

ALWAYS LEARNING EH!:grin:

pjtiler & Brian C - thanks for the comments.

I totally agree. Unfortunately there would have been a conflict with the waste pipe together with issues with the stud wall construction. I would have much rather put all of the pipework in the walls, just as the feeds and waste for the bath are through the new stud wall :grin:.

But as you say - ALWAYS LEARNING.
