would be nice Qz. i have 40k of the buggers at a price of 313.

think i'll be retired by then billy,

because lemons suck maybe? Why would they want to buy a shrinking business thats shares (apart from a small increase this week only) have been in a continual decline for ages. Might as well wait a while longer if they were remotely interested.

Dont think any of us are normal on here Craig :) but hey it keeps life interesting.

your not wrong there Craig, i will be able to manage the breakfast by then though the way things are going, so partly cured and normalish - might even be 100% off the flippin yogurt muck.

Ian, might just be me i dunno, but find it a tad odd that you never post and join in on here with all the banter but want to come along if im being honest mate. The rest of us going have been trading tips/jokes/insults etc for quite sometime now and kindof know each other a little bit by now. Like i say just seems odd to me.

bloody hell George, that doesnt sound like to much fun. Hope the consultant has some good news for you and your on the mend asap. Any excuse not to carry a big tray of drinks i recon lol :)

maybe his mates, he lives near me

the locals would probably do that anyway, tis ruff in Coventry. im going on the bus

yeah i suppose so, just trying to get replacement ones to match all the mountings and cut the install work down, typically they dont appear to make my bars anymore and the new models look carp, nasty cheap looking things. Its a right PITA my motor looks pants now, right fed up.

scraped my transporters nearside side bar along a cornish fecking wall today when coming out of a narrow long lane after clearing a blocked drain for a friend. Saved her getting Dynorod out and cost myself £250 for a new one. Wasnt very happy earlier today. Van looks sh.it now :(

Before i sold up my plumbing business in Solihull we had a contract from an insurance company to follow old Dolphin bathrooms gangs around fixing the screwups so it doesnt suprise me one bit that you had trouble with them, earnt me and my partners a lot of money that contract did. Remember one awfull job, and im going back almost 10 years, that we charged £6k to put right, the original work was soooo bad it took most of my team - even had to get a french polisher in to sort out the scratched to death oak floor. God knows how much the original job cost - i do recall the lady of the house telling me the new kitchen fit out cost over £50k.
I recon your doing the right thing sticking with what youve got mate :)

sounds like its the uprights seal then to the wall, one of the easier fixs so thats good news at least. Wetrooms are a right nightmare to troubleshoot, look great but need a good installer to get it right.

NK, i inspect plumbers work for a living.. First a question. is the tray raised off the floor or flat on the boards or a wet room type.

If ts raised like most are, remove the trim panel and get access to the waste trap below, this is normally the best place to start and in my experience the main leak area. Dry that off with kitchen towel and place newspaper underneath it if no leak is obvious (newspaper keeps a stain mark if a leak is minor). if an obvious leak, remove the trap and either clean it or what i would do is replace it for the cheap cost. looking inside the cubicle at the drain there is normally a screw visible that nolds the chrome waste above the tray, try tightening that with a posi screwdriver (dont be brutal) sometimes leaks there.

As for silicone , there shouldnt be any silicone on the tray where the cubicle sits on it. If there is get a new plumber, the cubicle should sit inside the lip of the tray and water run into the tray from the inside. If you seal it with silicone (loads of people think you should) it will just trap moisture and promote mold. Silicone down the vertical sides is fine and normal. You can check for leaks from the cubicle easily enough by spraying water at those places using the shower hose (but start at the bottom where the tray is not at the top of the side joins).

Going in from the ceiling below (unless a wet room floor mounted tray) is bonkers and destructive , if the ceiling hasnt already come down dont make the damage worse by doing that, theres no need.

Also check the washers in both ends of the hose are there and sealing at those points, worst problem would be if the grout in the cubicle is crumbly or suspect, water can run down the wall behind the tiles then.

Good luck with it all, if i can assist anyway do let me know, am happy to help, just difficult without being there or seeing photos.

only good use for sand is either in glass or concrete, hate the stuff. Go surfing here in August and the damn stuff still appears in the shower tray in December, and its not due to a slack cleaner.

Aether, nhs gets my vote, spend the huge wages on holidays abroad :)

i tried reversing the charges. . . . sod's refused the call.

pete, need to channel those sorts of thoughts elsewhere somehow, fearing the worst can only mean you miss out on whats for the better.

As an example, my weakest point is my emotions, impossible to hurt me physically but emotionally with just words its very easy, im a soppy git. So i decided in the fight for my life my emotions were my achilles heel and not taking part in the battle. I told all that know me my 'emotions are in a box under the stairs' and i dealt with things in a kind of cold hoop jumping process type way, if my emotions had been involved i would have lost and i knew that.

Stupid thing is i live in a bungalow and dont have any bloody stairs, but it worked for me :)

:) exactly

pete, am not brave at all mate, lifeboat volunteers etc are brave i just deal with whats chucked in my direction as best i can, humour helps me. Thank you for the nice thoughts though, im doing ok at the moment and am determined to win through.

Nk, the heart is a strange organ mate, can make us so much stronger and also reduce us all to a complete wreck in the blink of an eye. However it always keeps beating, and that i feel is the secret. Its always there working away for us, we just have to find our own individual way of using it to our best advantage. Maybe one small positive step you would never have done before is that you are coming down to Coventry (better places are availible) to meet up with a load of muppets from a forum. Would say thats a step forward there straight away - although you havent met any of us yet so the juries still out :)
