but there are 4 bathrooms a large kitchen, and something I have not even been to in the basement!!!!!!......too many stairs!!!!!!.........
installed a floor today and installed another u/floor heating system......not screeded it yet!......so tommorrow is finish screeeding this room in the morning and start wall tiling in room 1.....then cut in a floor in room 2.....and so on!!!!!.....

but the stairs......Gary..........THEY ARE KILLING ME!!!!!!

hhehehehheheheheheheheeeeeeeeee

hhhahahahhaaha....there was a point where I thought to myself........this bloke actually knows what he is talking about...............but, now..............I am not so sure......you know I am not a day older than 18........hehehhehehehehhehee
 
Ello'........

still fighting those stair's.......but finding it really hard to persuade shops to give me pound coin's..........I need £33 per day.....IN COINS!!!!!!!!..........the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea has not yet moved over to pay by phone!!!!!!!.....
proberbly some form of tax dodge!!!! hehehehehe............My accountant always goes nuts at me about parking without reciept's!!!!!!!!!!.......hehehheehehehehheehehe

fitted an underfloor heating system in room 3 today:

Then I primed the heated area.....because the mats I have (Warm up)......refuse point blank to stick to the insulation board's!!!!!!

and even with the floor primed.....they still wont stick.....so I had to gaffer them also............I only ever have this problem with client supplied materials....the mats I purchase "Stick like s***).......oh well!

IMG_1221.jpg

Its screeded in and ready to tile!!!!! yipee!........

then I went back to room 1.......and the drawing's I had did not work out right (in the room)......they wanted a dado on the top of a boxing and around the perimiter.....no problem for me but the granite tops will have ended up sitting on the dado's........and that will look rubbish..................an hour and a half later we had a solution......and I had cut the bottom course of tiles twice now for "new" set out!!!!!!!............

IMG_1223.jpg

This was the last photo I took of the day........this travertine (and all the most recent travertine I have worked with for that matter!).....is out of square, full of holes in the backs and full of filler on the fronts............CRAP!

but dont worry mister owner of the Monsoon clothing brand......I will give you a silk purse out of a pig's ear!!!!!!........

best wishes

Lee!
