    Started to layout pipework for drum today...The plan is for the pipework to come under the floor and feed into the drum, I am trying to do it in a way so that there is a minimal amount of bends...

    Feeding into the drum I've got two 4" bottom drains and one 3" skimmer, from there into the flow-friend then over a set of double bakki showers. The pipe feeding over the shower will be 3" pressure pipe and will have machined slots at 45º angles to each other..

    The pipework for the waste shute, will be plumbed in 4" pipe.

    Looking really good Gavin.

    This is exactly what I'd be doing if I was starting again (and I could afford it)

    Can you post any smaller pictures?

    There's gonna be a serious clash of colours Gavin.

    Pics are good but larger pics are better! I will offer to paint the drum red for you, just to add a splash of colour.

    My Plan is working I'm trying to use camo techniques to disguise the drum from the missus..

    Will get the hosepipe on it on Monday, but the laser indicates I'm about 10" out.

    Will be getting the kango out first and digging up some of the concrete to route the pipes into the drum..
