Thank you guys, at least you told me straight up that making it from ply is total crap, not like other guys who just who will say- try and see and think to themselves- that idiot is in for a surprise 😀

I used to watch a programme called Holmes on Homes bit like that programme with nick Knowles. Can't remember what it is called . Anyway always going around fixing

Holmes on Homes, great show! If ever anyone was belt and braces it's Mike Holmes.

Watch him strengthen a floor once . Pretty British standards . Also did you ever see that heat Matt that was templated for and it was pretty much cable between 2 sheets of scrim. Stuck down with c2 then latexed over. No cables coming up through latex there .

ok what do you guys say about building the frame/everything from 18mm wpb plywood as my floor is on wooden joists so I'm not really sure how stable a cement pour/shape would be, but laying all the plywood construction in a fiberglass so it's more stable and totally waterproof?

Just make sure you get a good waste.
Google Harmer drains.
