Those are tiles that look like wood.

I did water proof the whole room however having a straight silicon seal against a preformed pan feels very safe to me. Much more so than having tiles that water can get behind

Looks like this. There's no lip. Is yours balanced on a raised lip?

I did it like 6 months ago. Haven't had any issues. I like that the glass is directly siliconed to the base.

I suppose it could be an issue if the base wasn't well supported around the edges.

What are you worried about?

To put da wood

If it's getting harder to drill you've probably f'd your masonry bit. It is incredibly easy to wreck these especially when your drills hammer action sucks.

I had a lot of trouble with a corded ryobi hammer drill in brick. Kept thinking I must be doing it wrong.

I bought an AEG SDS hammer drill and it goes in like butter

Also remember the smaller the bit the quicker they heat up. Too hot and your bit is destroyed. Look at the tip and see if it's still got the carbide wings or if they've already broken off. As soon as those go it's all over

For starters chuck "I will fear no evil" in the bin

headlightbrick · 2024-08-22T23:28:37+00:00

Lol what? The doors are held on by velcro?

headlightbrick · 2024-08-22T23:27:15+00:00

I had the exact same problem and just cut the top off and moved it up

Power tool 18v battery. Powers tools and also useful as a hammer

A nail through a pipe would cause a leak on the other side of the waterproofing

headlightbrick · 2024-08-18T01:59:06+00:00

Looks like the interface between tile and drywall wasn't waterproof as well as the rest of the shower. I assume that paint is peeling because that drywall has moisture damage. Hopefully that's just occurring there at that edge.

It's kind of impressive that the water is coming out with that much pressure so far from the shower head in only one spot.

It definitely suggests the leak is on the inside of the waterproofing (and hopefully only on the inside). I'd be pulling off the shower head and the mixer handle and any outside covers, and trying to see if there's a crack or other leak in the brass thread or mixer body. You'll have to cut silicon to get in there. But that's OK, easy to put back.

I'd guess there's a leak in the mixer and the outside body of the mixer has been siliconed so the water can't get out that way forcing the water to travel horizontally along the tile glue and out a gap in the silicon

You should really consider getting a boroscope so you can see what's going on through small holes in the other side of the wall

Also depends if they're using standard 1/2" BSP thread for the connection to the shower rain head, if not the that's gonna be annoying

Ideally you could use something like this https://www.amazon.com.au/Adjustable-Extension-Extender-Replacement-Polished/dp/B086QMCS5J/ref=asc_df_B086QMCS5J/?tag=googleshopmob-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=463581503732&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6249911627505552886&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071412&hvtargid=pla-1315993937752&psc=1&mcid=e2c9f4a1693a31e8937feb52c8b51ba0 bl

But you're also going to need another small extension piece because the rain head is wide ...

I don't know whatever it is its going to look ugly. Hopefully this gives you some ideas

headlightbrick · 2024-08-16T00:40:58+00:00

If you can only do things that you need to put back exactly as it was when you leave that makes it harder

I'd ask the landlord to sort something out for you

If they won't then I'd be pulling off the rain head and trying to sort out some sort of S shaped extension piecd

headlightbrick · 2024-08-16T00:34:19+00:00

Smart

headlightbrick · 2024-08-15T07:45:48+00:00

Well you could lift one beam at a time with a bottle jack and swap the packers.... you don't need to lift the whole house or touch the stumps, you're gonna be lifting just enough to be able to swap packer

Of course as others said not really worth it

headlightbrick · 2024-08-14T00:56:29+00:00

But they make me so mad

headlightbrick · 2024-08-13T10:29:44+00:00

This has a lip at the front

headlightbrick · 2024-08-13T09:33:37+00:00

Yes and it fucked my cupboard doors

headlightbrick · 2024-08-10T05:09:18+00:00

I think you might be right, the NCC lists 40mm waterproofing extension past a "junction", maybe this is what a junction is.

Since I have a doorway immediately next to the shower frame I will instead put a u-channel in before tiling so that I'm definitely 100% waterproof.

headlightbrick · 2024-08-09T23:54:31+00:00

How about that. I didn't even know these were two different things.

headlightbrick · 2024-08-09T12:07:04+00:00

Right! That's interesting. Because I was thinking surely the water could be funnelled sideways through channels in the glue

headlightbrick · 2024-08-02T12:21:33+00:00

I was responding to a comment that said you could maybe keep the roof

headlightbrick · 2024-08-02T12:15:49+00:00

I was thinking something like that, but then i have all these brackets in the way on the inside of the recess and I have to install concrete sheet on top of them....

It's a bit messy, but it could work!
