House where i was working yesterday were having Italian lessons when I left yesterday . So I thought I would be clever and said cazzo as I left as this is the only Italian I know from you . Was it a good word for goodbye .

My own gaff. This job near killed me as my defibrillator went off half way through it. Hence why 4 months later there is still a bit to finish.
Ps never using level clips again. Have done a better job without them

Can you tell us a bit about the skirting

I-lumos from Hartington Heath. Cheap and good quality. They were the only led lights I could find with a continuous flow of light. 8x16mm and come in any length from 1m up. For out door so coated in a very thick hard silicone which made them a pain to work with.
Can only be cut in 1m lengths as well.
Just wanted something different and I love lights as a decorative feature.
Lights were 16mm deep which was a problem but wanted the clear light part sitting out in the tile.
Just split tile, stuck bottom half in and any end tiles which couldn't be split, then glued lights in with sticks like rubbish turbo as needed fast setting because the lights were all out of shape. Had to prop and then hold some parts for 20mins lol. Stuck top tile on (tiles were bedded in with 4x 3mm tile spacers, one in each corner, so I could get a flat level finish) and just got 14mm tile trim to cover it.
Had to make all my own connectors mind then wired it up to a dimmer switch run off an adjoining socket. They were to bright to do with out a dimmer tbh. Put my head away at the start but now I know how, it's easy done. Just the 1m cuts only is annoying.

@Schlüter-Systems Ltd have a light system liprotec which might be worth you looking at.
