Thought I'd revive this thread, as I'm now the proud owner of a Box 4 Blox. It has transformed my life, if you see me walking down the street smiling it's because my Lego problem is no more. The children think I'm mad, as does my husband, but it is the most satisfying piece of kit I've bought in a long time.


Not only does it make tidying up "fun", it has really encouraged the kids to play with their Lego in a more creative way, as the pieces are more accessible. I have spent the last two afternoons sitting with them and helping build things from their books and really enjoyed it too, and up until now Lego has been a complete no go area for me.


Highly recommended!

I remembered this thread from ages ago and actually looked it up last week now that we are in the (early days!) realms of Duplo and playmobil - found it hilarious! Don't quite have the need for this hallowed box yet but did finally get an Expedit for our open plan downstairs and it had changed our lives already! It's so much better having the toys in easy, ordered bliss - I agree it makes them easier to play with for both parents and children alike!


Really recommend compartmentalising over massive toybox of junk! So much better all round and turning untidy me into someone who quite enjoys tidying up my son's things now!!

I also feel like I am winning the war with lego.


I went to Poundstretcher and bought some of those clear plastic drawer unit things for about ?2.99 each. I then spent a few very boring hours the other Saturday night sorting out flat pieces, bricks, people, weapons etc etc. I used to go clubbing on Saturday nights!

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
