I live in the Midlands (Walsall/ West Brom) and I would choose Snowdonia over anywhere else in the world. I did many plumbing jobs there back in the 80's (even thought I was an electrician) and I was shocked at their obsession with micro bore piping on central heating systems. I'd never seen it before in the Midlands.

Cracking work as ever 👍 One thing I wonder is whether the shower unit and riser / head should be better swapped round so that the head is pointing more straight down the bath (or angled slightly towards the wall as I did with my own recently) rather than towards the outside of the bath.... reduce the chance of water soaking the floor. Love those tiles though!
