They might be able to glue it down, if they have the right glue.

You've got ot be kidding - that's " the way of the future" ?
How much lower do they expect standards to drop ??!! Do they have to drop to the lowest possible denominator ??? WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH PEOPLE ?? aaarrrgghh quote] I don't mean the archs (yes looks ugly) but apparently it is the way things are done now with pipes under wall frames at that stage. Re: Is this a plumbling issue? please advise 23Jan 16, 2009 4:15 pm Not acceptable….. and in my books a very bad trade move.

Then I will be going to the builder with the client. That’s not happening on any build I have been contracted to look after!

It is the drain for the washbasin in the downstairs powder room (I keep calling it the downstairs dunny - uncouth I know, but let's face it, there won't be much powder being used in there). I was horrified when I first saw it, but the SS explained that it's supposed to be in the wall, because the washbasin drain goes into the wall, thus avoiding the unsightly pipe going down into the floor. It has had the reducer installed with a length of smaller pipe (50mm?) sticking up ready for the washbasin. Now after seeing this post, I need to look at it again to check that the reducer is flush with the slab, because it does appear to be visible in the family room, which is on the other side of the wall from the dunny, sorry, powder room. We have no plaster yet. Built the C£arend0n Cambridge: Moved in. Happy campers. Here's our story on HomeOne I might be old, but I have no trouble finishing my... er... I am looking for someone who might have tackled a similar issue as me. I have a few rendered interior walls, the surface condition is hardly flat. I can see all the bumps… 0 7964 thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 16268 |
