[Ian]

The door has been removed, it was in my way and needs a little trim.

 

[cam_low]

[John Benton]

Kitchen walls 10x10 3 colours wavy edge western stone. Hate doing them loads of switches, heating control, wall units etc etc.

Made sure the customer wanted random fixing rather than uniform, my pet hate

Multi-tool comes into its own now Bri. I would take bottom off architrave, cut about 10mm into casings and knock out with chisel and take bottom off skirting just in that corner.

Think your going to have to slide the tile quite a bit on this one Bri.

Good luck

Can you see it in the back of the picture John? I've only had the fein a few weeks and its a godsend, makes fitting tiles like this one, ten times easier.

Can't see it Bri, it's a bit dark, can only see what looks like some sort of magazine that says BUSTY on the top

 

[Mr T]

if he does that tho it would of been a waste of time doing those other cuts wouldn't it?

Think you didn't get my drift on cutting off architrave and casing!!

 

[Mr T]

ok bri thanks a lot mate... yeh john well I just got the impression you meant cut away the architrave and sit the tile underneath but if that's the case why didn't he just do that with the rest of those funny cuts he had to make. but i more than likely got the wrong idea as usual lmao

I'm guessing that's what Bri has already done on the other side of the door opening!

 

[Mr T]

ohhhhh haha thought he had done the cuts... ok well ignore me lol

 

[Jeff the tiler]

Had a pretty tough one today. Left Windsor at 5.30 just got in from South East London at 7.24pm. Back bar area needing to be tiled in really poor 200 x 50 x 15mm thick tiles. Yes 200 x 50!! got line blindness after fitting 13 mtr and probably 5 mtrs of this being rake cutting Tile quality awful just one of those days me thinks???????

 

[Mr T]

did ya do 13 mtr in one day? dam thats a lot

 

[Jeff the tiler]

me and a labourer i need to add

 

[Ian]

1300 tiles, I'd have been in the loony bin by lunch time! Sounds like you've had a fun day!

 

[Mr T]

that's some serious tiling lol 15mm thick what were they?

 

[widler]

This.
Had to take out quarry's around the steel covers,then screed in
semi dry s/c ,floated it,then laid the quarry's in the screed and cut back 20mm from the covers.
Grouted in s/ c then cleaned off.
This was at a sewage works,what you call a quick smash and grab,get in and get out ,stunk 🙁

 

[Mr T]

lmao!

 

[Jeff the tiler]

Bri only circa 1170 tiles with a 2mm joint but yes drove me mad and still have another 6 Mtrs to finish in the morning and then grout!!!!

[Dougs Third Go]

been working at home today. Tomorrow starting on roughcasting a big semi-detached house (both houses) due to two time wasters that I quoted for that liked the start date I gave them for 60m2 floors, but never got back to me to discuss the quote.
