Alright Chaps!

its the end of another day so I might as well bore you all with what's been going on in my life..........
For starters today I made friends with the Labourer's......I got them a few soft drinks from the shop and handed them over after lunch.......it was hot.......and I felt a litte sorry for them!

but my day started with a dry lay.........



after working it all out I moved on to sticking!!!!!







I have busted out with a 15 x 15 mm square notch trowel.........no real reason over my latex floor.....but I am not a fan of my 20 x 10 mm round notch......and I dont know why.......personal preference?











Managed to drop in the floor in this room and clean up the other two rooms ready for grout and seal.........



and I do hope my blue peter badge is in the post........but I am sure I will be upset again......just like last time......Bloody jim'll fix it my ...............

Best Wishes

Lee!

[Tony73]

My day was proper bad today, hope will be better tommorow :lol:. At least i got chance to go back to house, which i did not long ago. Marble master bathroom, master bedroom floor and wall etc

 

[Tony73]

yeh, where is the donuts????????? AAAA? :lol:

 

[Protilers]

Evening all.......

its the end of another day.......and we are getting closer to the bank holiday!!!!!! yipppeeee!!!!!

after adjusting all the boxing (in the picture below) yesterday......today I started to tile it....



I carried on using my 15x15mm square notch because the wall is not perfectly level....nor is it flat!!!!!!
and that dont help when the customers want mitred edges etc............Builders EH?











starting to look like a bathroom!!!!

best wishes

Lee.

 

[Tony73]

looks good Lee but why did you star wall with small cut, and finished tile to ceiling with small cut? :dozey:.

 

[Protilers]

because the architects drawings wanted 3 whole tiles from the floor and then the baden/dado.....but that could not cover the boxings that had been build by the builder and it left horrible cuts all over the place.....
the main one being where the boxing is......so i split it so that there is half tile on the face of the boxing and half tile on the wall behind (making it a whole tile visually).....and then the baden/dado.....

like this one in another room:



hope that helps Tony

Best wishes

Lee

 

[Tony73]

[Protilers]

Alright all!!!!...... it's a long weekend!!! (for some!)...........

here is what has gone on Today (and a bit of yesterday!).....

First off I finished a couple of the rooms off...Silicon and everything......here is one of them:



my proud moment....a mitred corner:









and what I am doing at the moment....I had to fix this corner because it did not match with the drawings.....and therefore screwed up the set out......no biggie..........



job done.....and then there is this wall......as rough as a mountain face........mmmmmmm..........i will give this one a bit more thought.....



after a moments contemplation I decided.....rather than skim with adhesive or replaster I will break out my new 15x15mm square notch..........







job done!!!.......

I am going to Belguim over the weekend but will be back to work on Monday..........

so its sweet and sour for me......

enjoy your weekend!

Lee.
