I hate doing floors, Who agree's with me ?

[tysfoot]

Nearly finished two small fidley bathroom floors. think i done well for time but im working in the morning as a postman and tiling in afternoon so im nackered :mad2:


My legs and back are all pulled, cant move, and ive still got to walk 10 miles delivering tomos and grout up afterwards. :mad2:

dont worry about me im just having a little moan cos i hate doing floors, i wouldnt mind because i dont even have a beer belly and fat fingers to get in the way.

Give me a splashback any day of the week :lol:

Tysfoot,

Give it a go mate I was reluctant at first and I have to admit the first time it took me ages and felt like it was more hassle than it was worth.

I just have about 5 Push fit stop ends I( was sceptical about using them at first thinking this wont work but it did, a pipe cutter and some either push fit flexi pipes (with isolator vales preferrably as I think you have to fit them these days) or compression fitting.

Mind the toilet wastes are a mare if there isnt any play in them but you can buy flexi waste bits to use.

Suppose it depends on the job but I have to admit now its easier to do and looks much better mate.

On refits where the bathroom is being installed ask them to ask the plumber to fit flexi pipes and when he comes to fit the toilet ask him to sit the toilet on top of some wood to represent the lift the tiles will give.

Of course you have to time it well like, in case you get caught short and this is the only bog in the house :mad2:

I've had to water the weeds down the bottom of a garden a couple of times, though I've never had to fertilize the borders as of yet, thankfully.

even in a small toilet say 4 metres cuting round a pan and peditool @25m2
its still 100 quid for hafe a day plus materials.

 

[TheWrightTiler]

never cut round a pan, i always unscrew and lift so the tiles go under, far superior finish, even if had to cut its only 5 mins to gauge 4 tiles and fit, piece of cake

would much rather do a floor any day very very very very very easy money

[tysfoot]

not every toilet and sink allows you to lift cos lots dont use flexi tubes

In my opinion i think doing floors are more straightforward than kitchen splashbacks or bathrooms,not as many obstacles to overcome,but can be pretty rough on the old spine and knees,but really its easy money isn't it?

Not that easy at times, the 600 x 600 granites i laid a few weeks back have still left me sore, my right arm still won't fully straighten. Heavy $£"$$"%

[The Lowestoft Tiler]

Floors all day long, i love tiling floors as every one else has said, floors = more money. As for tiling around a toilet, i don't. I always remove them. there is no way i am putting my face anywhere near where some fat middle aged builder has had his backside sat for hours on end after a night out and a curry!:lol:

[TilingLogistics]

I must say when I was fixing floors for me all the way! I preferred them it was just me 52 year old knees and beer belly that didn't like them:lol: :lol: :lol:
