Bathroom project - Work in progress

[davemul]

I AM SOOOO SLOW AT TILING!! and why do I always make such a mess, no matter how clean I try to stay

dry adhesive in chest hair HURTS!

oooh also..

can anyone advise how I am best cutting curves in tiles so I can tile flush to the shower mixer ???

Angle grinder always good

 

[Mike]

as blocko says with a grinder. cut as much out as you can then grind the round edge smooth

 

[davemul]

So glad the laying out work on the stud wall with the niches. Well laid out mate

Coming along Dave, I didn't know you could plaster as well, are you sure you work in the city?

Let me guess two coats of Thistle Board Finish and plaster all down your front from the downlighter holes?

I do my own plastering and I'm at the same stage as you in my current bathroom.

Vodka definately later Geoff! thanks for the kind comments mate

Bob, deffo a city dweller unfortunately!

was putting it off.... first time plastering!


had loads left over so I decided to plaster the downstairs loo aswell!

used to look like this..

Dave i think your pulling our leg, 1st time plastering? ive watched a fair amount of plastering being done over the years & the 1st time i tried i had to phone my m8 to come & "rescue" me, still wouldnt attempt it now. I tile, my m8 plasters.

Forgot to say, the bathroom is looking well, keep up the good work. put a few so called "tilers" too shame!

 

[davemul]

Haha, ok ok ive practised in the garden on old plasterboard and I did the kitchen splashbacks when I removed the old tiles and it took half the wall off! but thats it, I promise! It always ooks good wet... im waiting till it dries!

Got the hang of curved cuts today and a few more tiles have gone up. Im seriously going through adhesive!

Time for a large vodka and a film I think! night all, thanks for the feedback... its much appreciated... wouldnt have got this far without you guys
