Next job is removal of the adjacent basin, but that is far more

Should have left that handy drain in the floor open. :-)

grin Yes! Having said that, this is a ground floor WC in our ex

the Ladies, which has not been used for several years. The cold feed to
the basin will be straightforward, as the tap is direct from the mains.
