Why couldn't the pan have sat further forward? Door in the way?

Asthetics lol
No way was i leaving the pan sat forward and wasting my good work.

Soil pipe couldn't go any farther back as there is a 4" rainwater pipe running behind it.

Like butter. 10 bob diamond blade in a 4" grinder

What could be viewed as a bodge becomes a noble and artistic effort when you consider you did it solely to avoid budging it forward by the length of another pan connector inside the swan neck.

I did it to avoid "thats you mrs, you can paint the bit 3x2 jambed down the back of the cistern, You'll get used to looking at it. That will be 1800 pooonds please" lol

You do know that someday in the future, some plumber is going to come perhaps to change a fill valve on that, or replace the loo, etc and is going to comment - "Who did this bodge?" :grin:

Is the 4" in the floor at a funny angle ?

 

[WaterTight]

£1.8k? Pfft. I make 3 of those a year.

Less than 10º. Dwarf wall below stopping it from being plumb and no room too get a bend in.
You can't notice it now its all sealed in and if you do you need to stop lying down on the toilet floor.

So no manufacturers warranty on the pan now it's been cut then?

 

[oz-plumber]

I dare anyone to put those photo's in the "Hall of Shame" thread.

 

[lame plumber]

hope you filled under the pan with cement to make up for the lack of strength in it now, but mainly to **** off the bloke who replaces it in 10 years time
