2012 year of action!!! (tiling)

[inkwell]

Hi Folks,

2012 has been dedicated as my 'year of action'. Ive packed in my day job and am taking the plunge in the world of the self employed. Have ambitions to be an all round competent DIYer.

So....... my 1st job for 2012 is to tile the kitchen floor. Gulp! not as easy as the missus thinks. (why do women underestimate the complexity of jobs?) From reading some of the messages on the forum, the tiles need to come up as they have been stuck down directly onto weyrock flooring. Guess I'll also have to cover with ply too.

Whats the quickest way to get them up?

Cheers all

I worked for 25 years in an office that was like the 'Office'. Time to quit when you become David Brent!

Welcome along ink, good luck to you and grab a Milwaukee kango with a 4" chisel.
It'll keep you warm and annoy the neighbours but do the job, lol.
That's what I use by the way.

Keep your kitchen unit doors covered to avoid any loose pieces causing scratches.
