today

1 Kitchen splashback, 8 boxes of tiles, 7 different dates of manufacture and, 3 different years of manufacture:eek:

hell, it was hard work!, only a 6m floor on bathroom I've been working on, but it took 3 mixes with the heat setting it so quick. I would've used standard set but I need the rapid so I could shift gear back in there overnight....now topping up my liquid with a coupla' ciders ;)

The 12m2 of 600x300 wall tiles that I put up yesterday in a bathroom has turned from being the best thing since sliced bread to suddenly overnight into being so unbearable that they had come back off(didn't like the white flecks in the beige,stone lookalike ceramic tiles):eek: So hence the...

I was sick of seeing the british gas flame in the recent sunshine and its getting on my wick that much I thought I would hand it over to my mate paul of pureshine detail. he usually works on high end cars but took my van on with no issues. I picked it up from him in alnwick at 7pm as Im up here...

I nominated myself for a day at work, more so because I knew it would be quiet with many others off and only the production and maintenance people in. I'm hoping to get lots done without interruption today. So, who else is working? Working on a job? Working on something because the wife said...

Did a quote last night. When customer opened front door I was nearly knocked back with the smell of a very powerful solvent. I could hardly breathe. Customer had boarded out shower room with 12mm Hardie and then covered the shower area in Everbuild Evercryl. Customer said it was ok to tank...

That emulsion is ok to tile onto, PVA primer is suitable to tile over, 9mm ply overlay is fine onto a 1st floor chipboard floor with vertical movement, Adding 6mm ply onto 9mm makes the floor even stronger, Ditra will also solve this vertical movement in the floor, That if someone says they have...

nice to get paid for walking your own dog ;)

A customer that I did 4 bathrooms and the whole ground floor of their property 5 years ago called me today. After the bottom clenching minutes she explained that her daughter needs some tiling work (approx 50sqm). Her daughter lives in SW16 so it's not something I am interested in. The work is...

I'm used to being offered cups of hot & cold drinks from customers, but not an afternoon in the hot tub!!!! A refreshing change from the norm I guess! So what things have we all had from customers of late?

This week I have been using Weber products in place of my usual Mapei in a porcelain kitchen floor & ceramic splashbacks. I must say I am very impressed! Have used set plus a few times but I think I may will stick with it (no pun intended!) And as for the grout, well what can I say..... Weber...

Today on Brighton seafront felt far worse than the supposed hurricane from a few months ago. This vid doesn't even do justice to how rough the sea actually was or how loud the wind is either. Really was mental today out there...
