Started repairing a few floor tiles today and most of 1 half came up so i spent the day taking up tiles and addy and checking rest, night shift at my local mcdonalds replacing tiles but this could turn into a big job as i suspect the whole floor will have to come up, back to lay and grout floor i started today then bathroom suite change and probably full re-tile for rest of the week and hopefully a couple more nights on the mcdonalds job if it needs it. all exciting stuff!

when you going to sleep......lol

Nothing exciting for me this week today just finishing off a fair sized job I have been working on and going back to another job I did before xmas to do all the silicone work tomorrow ,might be starting a rip out of a tiled floor where the previous tiler had unibonded the anhydrite floor then used a cement based adhesive the whole floor is loose so its all being skipped and I am relaying it

i had a nightmare start to a new wetroom today,i was enveloping the floor and i struggled to cut 600 x 300 porcelain (very hard) on the 45 degrees as they kept breaking on one of the grout lines running through the tiles. i got the wet cutter out only to see my marchrist blade was damaged so after a quick call to dave at tradetiler i've ordered a dna montiblade at £120 :yikes:. i eventually got the floor enveloped with the sigma then got the wall tiles out (also 600 x 300) to find the 2 colours 4mm difference in length and width. after trying all ways the customer wants the dark wall tiles in the wetroom on 45 and the light tiles eveyrwere else. i think this is going to be a bigger job than anticipated. all day work though so i guess that's some consolation. i think a drink is required :8:
