I am rubbish at chilling out and doing nothing, I more often than not tidy up the garage and wash the van, I made a vase out of travertine the other week 😀 fixed the toilet seat yesterday, it had a dodgey hinge. Today I'm putting. A best mans speech for next month on to crib cards, might make another vase this afternoon!
I'm an expert at chilling out....lol

Silicon, not the best to be honest, it has worked though. I used sandstone grout to fill the edges and it's a bit dark, I'll use jasmine or limestone on the next one. I made it as a customer said they might be interested in one so I had to see how long it would take to get a value for it. One thing I would say is a good quality stone is essential, this trav was a bit holey, which made the edges look a bit untidy after bullnosing. Not bad for a first go.

If I'd had some to hand I'd have used it, it was a bit of a "use what's in the garage" type thing !
I don't believe you then.

Events over the last 18 -24 months have shown me there is more to life than work. I do what work I have to do to pay bills etc and sometimes a little extra but rarely work weekends and if there is time off in the week then I can always find plenty to do .

Me and Widler tiled a 37m floor yesterday and Craig god bless the lad was back there grouting it by 7 o'clock this morning...by the time I turned up with the brews and sausage and egg butties this morning he'd finished it, just a final swipe over with the washboys and we were away...then off to tile shop to grab some ady for tomorrow.
Day off......PAH!!!

You better bloody big me up as well, I don't do weekends , but since I'm in training for total warrior it kept me off the beer Friday and Saturday night 🙁

I was off on monday so decided to knock up a garden table in the afternoon, seeing as my other is at the bottom of loads of stuff in my shed.
