I’m worried (and I admit: curious)… this “wee shower” thing you’re talking about, interesting, but is it something you really want to be sharing on the internet?

He’s looking for someone to provide the ‘shower’, so where better to advertise than STW…..
Final photo before xmas, with patio door partially fitted. Need to fit wood plinth above doors to close 3/4 brick gap and provide something solid to screw the top of the frame to. Currently some Celotex is filling the gap to keep the rain out.
Patio is on the list for spring but need to sort out the neighbours drainage first- washed away the last attempt at sand and cement between the slabs- weeded it a few months ago but as its not exactly been BBQ weather couldn’t be bothered doing it again..
Take on board comments about regs- was just thinking it would be a good wee addition to the house.
Shower room/wc there if we use it as a guest room or for use after muddy rides on the bike.
They’re a right pain fittings doors / shutters to as you get such a variety of widths, there are no straight edges / flat surfaces, so you need loads of packers to manage all the offsets, then a can of foam to fill in all the remaining gaps!
No where near as exciting as DrP’s Xmas edition, but in between inlaw visits etc, managed half a day to sort out the floor insulation.
There’s a tiny amount of damp creeping in one side as there is a load of slab overspill concrete outside which is holding the water against the wall. You can just see the damp in the photo below:
Given that’s all the damp I’m getting, even in this wet period, I’ve decided not to lay another DPC and just use the Celotex foil covering as a Vapour barrier, using expanding foam to get a good seal against the stuff on the walls.
For the pillars and the doorways, where there isn’t Celotex on the walls, I’ve used pieces of DPC which will get bonded to the DPC in the brickwork, to keep any damp away from the floor.
Smaller than my garage then thats why it looks narrow…..i wish my garage was another metre wider……ill be trying for it when i knock it down and rebuild it 2 story for my master bedroom and en suite 🙂 ( in 10 years time…..ie in my dreams)
It’s been a while, but spent a couple of hours sorting out the back door. Tidied up DPC, added a ply-wood step and fitted plaster board round the returns (just bonded to concrete with glue).
Not a lot of progress recently, it all slows down once you get onto lots of fiddly jobs, plus I knackered my hand this weekend using a core drill for the soffit vents, caught on a rafter and nearly broke my wrist:
Other than that, I’ve been faffing with cutting Ply to make a sort of door alcove thing tied into the RSD and around the Patio doors. Turns out 18mm ply exactly fits into the rear slot on the RSD, so I get a clean fit. There are two slots, one for the RSD to close in and one behind.
