Now that we have a lovely, flat, bathroom floor, time to put some things on it... I didn't mention in the last post that we were about half a dozen wedges short of a 6-pack when we almost finished the floor, so having bought the original (yellow) wedge system from Amazon, we got the final few (red) from Topps at an eye watering price. The wedges are reusable - once the cement is set, you pop them out with either a mallet or feet, then the spacer tops break off (mostly) leaving a clean surface for grouting Fitting the toilet was fiddly, to say the least. It could only go in one position (because of the soil pipe) and the back wall was precision engineered to take the close coupled cistern. The floor fittings were hidden and required drilling in to the floor in exactly the right place so they could be pre-fitted, then the toilet placed on them and screwed in to place from outside the pan. Then there was precision plumbing and getting the cistern attached to the pan in a way that we could still manhandle it in to position and so it wouldn't leak.
It was a fun day.
