At the end of last weekend, I'd started the frame and it took me a week of pondering to sort out how I was going to do it, and after all that, when I went to put it into practice it had to change.
The idea is to use the wheel arch over as a support for the toilet and provide enough room so that a person can not only get into the cubicle, but also have a reasonable shower.
I started off with the cubicle being a planned 1300mm x 700mm, but when I marked it out and saw the size I decided that it was too big. As you can see pfrom the photos, I have decided to make the back part of the shower into a floor to roof storage cupboard. To leave it as shower would just be a waste of valuable space. Anyway its done now. Have a look at the finished product, well the framing anyway.
The first frame to go in was this side one, probably the easiest of all of them.
The finished job, a bit a battle and 2 days work but at least its solid and won't move.
This is the space for the cupboard behind the shower cubicle. You can see the benefit of the pocket hole joinery here. It makes life so much simpler. You can construct alot of the frames on the bench, but being able to add in supports etc as you go is great, and the joints are always accessible.
This is the base for the toilet built on top of the wheel arch There is storage space under too. I intent to line oout the bottom of the shower with exterior grade plywood, seal it then cover it with fibreglass to make the base. That's the plan. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them.
