Wicked Nick!
I was gonna ask earlier were there any finished images, now you’ve added those extra ones that’s kool mate.
Stunning job

Cheers Marc

It’s that auto merge feature - dunno if I like it but I can see it must make mods life easier

 

[Old Mod]

Errrm What was that Nick?

That’s the movement joint in the screed going through the face of the tile.
You’re very warm, can you see the cheat and why?

Well the circle was meant to highlight the closer next to the expansion actually mate

Pfff chicken dinner.
Bit anti climactic was that. Just got myself a beer too

I saw that something was going on there !
This is the area I was wondering about

Damn you @3_fall! I was studying these pictures like hell wanting to find it, i seen that soft joint but there is another going to the boot room so i didn't think that was it

It wasn’t the expansion joints, it was the fact that it was actually a closer.
(A slightly smaller than usual piece to take up the slack when things don’t work out just so.)

Aaah that bit is to be carpeted and that shape allows his corner sofa to sit there and maintain an equidistance between his kitchen island and blah blah blah .... I’d switched off at that point to be honest but finally got him to tell me where to square my lines and at what angle. I’ve lots more to do there over next couple of months so will be interesting to see how it all looks.

Been back to do a bit more and the house is coming on nicely

 

[Dumbo]

Looks nice .
I've got eng oak on top of wet ufh in anhydrate but if I was doing it today with the quality of plank tiles around I would definitely be using them. With the plus side of better heat transfer .

 

[Old Mod]

Looks wicked Nick, well done mate!!

I went back to do the en-suite, outside wc. He also wanted the concrete step outside that surrounds the trifold doors finished with planks so it looks like the doors are sat on the floor.














Only thing I’m not keen on in this house was the wall tiles and mosaics he chose for the en-suite. Hated doing it cos it’s the wrong choice.

















Will be back in about 5 weeks to do the main bathroom. He’s being a bit cagey about what he wants and just says it will be challenging!
The bathroom has a little window in it but being north facing it’s quite dark in the daytime so I’ve got to wait till he gets a light tube installed like in the en-suite.
