Hi all,
Thought I would post a couple of pics and get a bit of a critique.....i struggled a bit getting my head round the setting out as the sockets could not be moved and the customer didnt want half cuts next to the aluminium splash back. The pics are a bit out of focus as my camera:lol: ( I think) had a problem with the reflection from the mosaics. The outside edges of the single sockets are actually over the grout lines onto the next tile and the double socket on the far right had enough gap to get a small cut under it. The main issue that I had was the small cut in the right hand inside corner...I just couldn't find an alternative and not end up with some really odd grout lines around the sockets and have half cuts next to the aluminium. Would you have done differently? worst thing was that the eye level cabinets are not level and that threw me initially....the tiles are nice and level. Overall i was happy with this-the silicone was a real pain though-may have been me but I used BAL microban and it does seem to be a bit more hard work than Mapei that I have used most of the time before-any one else experienced this? in fact i think I have been a bit heavy handed and just not totally happy with it, i have offered to redo it over the next few days(client has paid good money) but the client is happy-surprised me with a lovely bottle of champagne when i left....thoughts welcome...
On other news good and bad...was made redundant from my 'full time job' last week, a bit of a shock but then i figured that I could pull forward the 3 jobs that i had lined up over the next 6-8 weeks (previously fitting in around days off and weekends) and get myself going full time. They are not small jobs, so should keep me going- I guess every cloud has a silver lining!
In view of the above, I got myself around the tile shops wed/thurs/friday and finally managed to get into my local CTD (Hampton Hill) what a revelation! is it just me, or are they the most helpfull and pleasant bunch of guys? i love brochures and samples and discount booklets! Even if they where the most expensive out there, i would still buy from them with such a great attitude...but they are not, so yippeeee :hurray: see you Topps!rrr:
and lastly....Weber adhesives and systems? Am I missing something or is not enough mentioned about them? I am going to have a crack with a couple of products on the next job and see. Any feed back from anyone who has used their products?
thanks for listening folks!
