Digicams are a godsend for this arent they? hatch location: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/645...119931200p.jpg Another technique I've used is to directly write dimentions on the bare wall and convert that to a pseudo drawing in a photo editor Fixing screws for basin* and radiator brackets: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3585/t301012135b.jpg converted to 'drawing': http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7420/t301012135c.jpg * The 'keep off' indicates an area carefully moulded from the basin, so it won't get skimmed over.
