We went past our house yesterday just to check up on the progress of everything.... We made an alteration to our shower head height in our home as my partner is 6`4 and the standard level was 1800 (which was not high enough) so we asked to have it moved up to 2000 which was fine and it was no extra cost to us! BUT when we have gone to check it out yesterday discovered they have installed it at only 1800! oh no Hopfully this will work in our favour as we are going to ask if they can just upgrade the shower head for us to one that adjustable so we can play with the height ourself instead of making them pull down the plaster and fiddle with the pluming to change the height to what we had in our contract.... We should find out the result of the mistake today! Wish us luck!! we will keep you updated on the outcome!!

We have a similar situation so our heights are set to 2m and the benches are all taller too. Re: Wrong shower head height!! 5Dec 01, 2008 12:42 pm hmmmm well we originally were going to upgrade the shower head because the standard one that comes with the house you cannot adjust but instead we raised it to 2000 instaed of 1800.
Hopefully we can just get them to upgrade the shower head so it will work in our favour anyway... will save then ripping up the plaster! Our Building Administrator is looking into it now and will get back to us! Building Urbanedge Larne 002 Re: Wrong shower head height!! 6Dec 01, 2008 1:12 pm OK update they are going to Amend it to 2000, which was stated in the contract! they wont upgrade the showerhead because this would be a variation.......hmmm! oh well at least we will get it fixed Building Urbanedge Larne 002 Re: Wrong shower head height!! 7Dec 01, 2008 1:14 pm ok so they said they would rather adjust the height of the shower head to how it is in our contract rather than install an adjustable one... seems to be a more expensive was of solving the issue doenst it?

They put it in so that the maximum adjustment height is 1800mm. Haha sorry but that is too funny, the guys installing it must have been pulling your leg Re: Wrong shower head height!! 11Dec 01, 2008 3:04 pm Lol Bel (me) posted this topic and Chris (my partner) and i have both logged in at the same time (im at work his at home) and we both replied to it!

Haha sorry but that is too funny, the guys installing it must have been pulling your leg Yeah I think the guy installing it must be a dwarf because seriously how many people are over 6' these days. It's just so stupid... I'll look into different shower heads and ask the plumber about some engineering and see what he says. Thanks 2 9578 i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16026 If you can calculate the reasonable charged head from let's say 100mm below the gutter to the top of where the vertical riser's horizontal discharge pipe will be, that… 11 17540 |
