I'm just thinking about building a carport I don't want a centre post so the timer needs to be 7m wide would two timbers bolted together work or will I need an aluminum or steel lintel. Cheers Richard

ED - I completely agree, but sadly there’s another sofa on the side wall, so it’s a bit limited. Ideally I want a new sofa that’s not quite as heavy looking (lusting after all the lovely velvets around at the mo), but the leather one is super comfy and generally absolutely nothing wrong with it - it’s pretty much billet proof and I can’t justify it at all!!! I’m trying really hard to reduce my impact on the world, and buying stuff that we just don’t need is hard to justify! (Please note that the plan for the existing curtains is to reuse them elsewhere!).

Will just one side of the shower be open (ie shower in a corner with 2 walls) or 2 sides open? Do you have an image of the bathroom plan? Also, I would always consider adding a hand held shower head along with a rainfall shower for easier cleaning.

There are a few "small bath" suppliers out there that do you thereabouts 1200mm x 700mm tubs. Many of these are "sit baths", a few others Japanese-style soaking tubs. Using that format would allow you to place the bath "across" the side where the window is, and the toilet next to the sink. A few houzz links that show something like that: https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/ensuite-cannonmills-edinburgh-contemporary-bathroom-edinburgh-phvw-vp~153870589 https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/the-vicarage-modern-dorset-phvw-vp~31481857 https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/bath-box-terrace-contemporary-bathroom-sydney-phvw-vp~143625363 https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/aquatica-true-ofuro-freestanding-stone-japanese-soaking-bathtub-asian-bathroom-miami-phvw-vp~125288588 A common UK supplier for this kind of bath is Omnitub. For sit baths, can't find good houzz links; two manufacturers come to my mind: https://www.carronbathrooms.com/public/bath-range/urban-range/urban-sitbath/ https://www.my-bette.com/en/product/baths/labette Hope this gives you some ideas !
