Well the beams are all in place now and a lot of the anchors are fitted up already. I have places for 27 and 17 fitted so far. They”re rated at 80kg and each have two 100mm screws through the beams and up into the joists in the ceiling above. This same method was tried and tested in our main bedroom and the sling was fine there.
My next job is to place the shower tray on a short plinth to allow for the drain to slope. The bathroom is next door and it’s about to be ripped out and replaced, so my en-suite shower will be plumbed in at the same time as that gets done.
I had a though today and I’ll need a fridge. If I need a drink or snack, I don’t want to have to traipse downstairs to the kitchen in whatever gear I’m in at the time, so I’ll buy a small fridge to keep some drinks and snacks in.
currently the floor is bare boards with no deafening between them and the ceiling below (our dining room) so every footstep can be heard in the lounge.
I’m going to floor the room with a black rubber matting that comes on a roll and is used in workshops and garages and use it like a wet floor surface, gluing it in place with black silicone sealant and bringing the edges up to the top of the skirting boards and securing with black silicone and a staple gun. I’m not after a full wet room, but I need the floor to handle spillages of lube and body fluids.
I’ll get some photos in daylight and post an update in a few days.
