tell me more about the leveling system. yesterday i orderd the starter set from karl dahm. i don´t need it really but in the german facebook forum all tilers screw the tiles on the wall so i have to try it really. wish you good luck for your job. now i go to work. second job today. no problem. the oster rabbit works too.

this the job with the strange dark stains on tiles.
Ats advised correctlty that this is romanian limestone.
Have worked out now that it could be the diesel heaters on site. still to find a cleaner that works .
making a feature around a circular table with a steel decorative grate set within a frame underneath.
here are a few pics of work in progress.
a very old compass brought in by an old friend and employee of mine made the setting out much simpler.
a bit of batten and masonary nail to scribe a groove in loose laid stone to set outer radius.
made a template for inside radius and cut oversized.
loose laid the ring to hold steel grate and then marked around perimeter.
ring and grate not total perfect circle so better to do this way.a simple design but nice feature to circular table and grate that client had been keeping in garage for tweny years waiting for a new kitchen !!

just been back to the church floor we finished about a year ago . i have been told that the floor has only been washed once in that time !! in which case it is looking pretty good still.
few pics of how the finished article looks now.
i dont think i showed many pics of the finished church before just the floor laying process.

there may seem to be some dodgy cuts but there is a logic to all of it if you could see the layout drawing we had to fix to.
got another one to quote for now in london.
whole different religion and and lay out design.
very intricate design utilising 5 different marbles .
very interesting work but also very difficult to cost
