I have employed a plumber to fit a new bathroom suite and retileHowever the method he has used is different to what I believe to be correct. Instead of spreading the adhesive in a combed screed horizontally, he has applied large 'blobs' to each tile which has meant that all the tiles are spaced...

The "7-day" fibre reinforced sand cement screed, was poured without any "7day additive" in it so we...

i was looking at them with the idea of using them as tool boxes in the back of the van. clearly i won't be carrying my gear in with them but i thought it would be a good idea. the big ones like the bazuka box and mortar shell boxes would be great for holding the tile cutter and powertools and i...
