So builders have pulled another blinder - looked in the downstairs loo yesterday and thought 'that boxing around the waste pipe looks big' and it is. It's so big that we can't fit the loo in next to it (close coupled WC, pretty small already). I've left DH arguing this point with the builders, but basically the waste pipe is already in the back left corner of the room, and the toilet was supposed to go at the back centre, and now can't. Builder seems to think that it will be fine to put it over to the right, but this will result in who ever sits on it having to press their thigh to the wall. NO.
I wondered if we could do a spot more boxing and put a concealed cistern in the gap between the boxing that is there already and then shove a short projection back to wall pan in the centre. This would mean connnecting the cistern at a slight angle though, but I have seen flexible flush pipes. The soil pipe would be a single right angled bend. Any experience of this? Should I just kill my builders and have done with it?
