You don't get much better than that! Outstanding quality workmanship there fella. The amount of work in all those neat mitres and all those awkward cuts you've done. Top top quality
Am interested to know how long did it take you? From initial setting out to final clean up?

Hey Andy,
comments like that make it all worthwhile, thank you!
Well I actually set it out in advance off site using images and measurements I took myself, whilst awaiting delivery.
There was a few weeks lead time whilst waiting for new stock!
Plus with the added issues of the failing floor that needed sorting and installation of new tray.
It was just under 4 weeks.
Might seem a long time initially, but when u take in to account it was my first solo project and not being allowed to start before 9am and on average walking between 3-4km a day between bathroom and garage, where all work was carried out, I don't think it's unreasonable.
(I know it was 3-4km cos my iPhone health app told me so! haha)
I often made more than one trip with a piece, making small adjustments until I got what I wanted.
Mistakes I knew would be costly, so it was gently gently!
Can't think of any other excuses for it to take that long, I just dragged my heels really! Haha
I wanted it to be the best I could manage, there was a lot of potential work hanging on it!
But, tbh, wouldn't of cared if it took 6weeks!
Clients were elated, I secured future works not only with the clients,
but with others too!
So yeah, pretty damn pleased all round actually!:rolleyes:
