He said when things settle down he'll sort me out.. Tbh I'm not bothered, I don't get to see him that often so it was nice to spend some time with him, got some great experience from it and enjoyed it.. But I'm sure he'll chuck me a few quid, he did do when I fitted a shower for him - he bought me a Makita radio too 🙂 bless him

Well done Jay! Hope your brother thanks you for all your work.
Just a couple of things I notice I would have done in a different way, although nothing wrong with way you did it - could you not use a bender to bend pipes square plus a kick upwards at the valves near floor and also bent square bends through wall near floor (with pipes out of line to allow verticals). Much quicker and easier one piece and less solder fittings. Square bends are better as you don't need to worry about bending an exact other angle

Well spotted.. he's taking the rest of the bathroom back as it's a pile of pooh!
It's weird, I normally only bend kicks and offsets, but not for 90s.. dunno why really. I could have done but I just didn't think about bending the 90s 😉
I fitted a bathroom suite a couple of weeks ago with the same bath. I thought the toilet and basin were fine but I said to him he should of let me get the stuff as the bath was flimsy as anything.
Yeah the outer legs are crap! Bath feels pretty solid though.. but then I've not stood in it lol my brother went to assemble the units and none of the holes matched up.. got a replacement and same thing. He's gonna get a refund and go to howdens to get a different basin/toilet suite
I'm doing the rest of the bathroom today - toilet, basin and towel rail. The toilet is changing location to the adjacent wall. It's connected to an asbestos stack - I keep telling my brother to get rid but hasn't done it.
The pan connector is connected to a weird soft 110mm piece of rubber..
My question is: if the stack isn't changed, what can I do to put an elbow on this rubber connector?
I think I'm gonna refuse to do the toilet and make him get rid of the stack but I want to see if there actually are options.

What that is Jay, is an extension Multikwik you can even still see were they have cut it to the required length.
As with all Multikwiks I would never try to re-use one, for what they cost always buy a new one.
Not quite sure from your description where is the new pan going ? I take it the new soil will have to turn 90deg to the left or right then what?
