5Ft Tank In A Block On Flats.... Hmmm

[michaelh]

okay, so maybe I'm being a bit of a girl here but how much water does the average bath tub take? Something like 100 litres or more? Then add to it the weight of the actual bath + the person layed in it ... surely a 5ft fish tank can't weigh that much more than all that can it?

Surly a bath would be 200+? And very good observation. Suprised nobody else clocked that.

how much does it cost to get one of those structural engineers in, like the ones yuo get to check your house before yu buy it to make sure you roof isnt about to cave in ? might be a bit extreme/expensive, but it'll end all your worries one way or another.

This or you be moving to the ground floor

the express route if the floor dont hold up!

Don't bath tubs usually have extra joist supports under them? Also need to bear in mind that a tank and its water is a more of a permanent pressure point, a bath will only be filled for ~1 hour max and say three grown men will only sit/stand on a piece of furniture for minutes rather than months.
