Nice work there kilty and blocko very nice jobs and yes blocko just a slight improvement on that last one haha. I'm on travertine job at the moment I'll post some pictures when it's finished but I don't really like the colours in the stone it's a bit dark but it's supposed to be light if you know what I mean

Kilty you've done a nice job on that fire grate but I just don't like fired earth tiles I can't see the appeal with them

Nice bathroom Geoff. I'll bet the customers were pleased with the result especially looking at the old room. Do you mind my asking how long that job took?

9 days start to finish. Problem was that it was the only bathroom in the house and it was a family of 4 adults. Rip out only took 3 hours...... The tiled bath wall fell on me in one whole sheet!!!! Just as well I was fitting a new bath!

9 days for that kind of quality is going some. Well done. I've got a similar one next week, only one bathroom in the house so I have to re-install the WC at the end of each day.

I had my spark do all electrical related work, plasterer skim ceiling, a willing labourer to help with lugging bits and painting of ceiling. I did motor on with it though....... totally knackered at the end!!! Mostly 10-12 hour days!
