Big tiles anyone?

[hillhead]

2.3m x1.3m x 20mm polished marble slabs!
Some fun laying these.
Back breaking work and some weight.
I started this yesterday for a while then back today from 11am.
2 borders to go into this floor too, that's 2 big floors with double borders I have on at the minute.
I'm seeing a different side if tiling these days. Lol.

Jesus! - Niiiice. Rather you than me but I bet the finished article will be spot on!

The finish will be top class, the client is a multi millionaire and the house is absolute top class.
On that floor I have a 1m centre piece to cut out and a red marble border and marfil to skirting then.
I'm under pressure galore at the minute and was even working to 9pm last night on another job.
I have 3 helpers while laying these slabs, they also are going to be resin filled and grinded, polished etc. Butt jointing going on too!!

jeepers joe , what kind of wetsaw are you using on them, they look as if they would break easily.

Sigma 10m sitting in van, lol.
5" grinder/polisher and 4.5" grinder with a superb blade.
I lined the floor and ordered the slabs in correct size so little cutting apart from borders.
Id love a week at that but I have jobs to finish elswhere too.

That will look a crackin job when its finished, in safe hands joe.

My back's hurting just looking at them! What size trowel have you gone for?

 

[hillhead]

12mm round notch, floors are very flat lucky enough.
That floor should be finished by Tuesday hopefully, I'm trying to get another tiler in for Monday. I have another class floor on and need it finished too.
I'll be back in that slab floor house week after next too.
I also have to slab the shower walks in bathroom and ensuite plus I have 2 marble shower trays already fitted.

wow!! big muthers..


That suction cup will not lift those though..:lol: and rather your back than mine FFS..

 

[hillhead]

Hi Dave that's a raimondi suction cup and I'm tellin ya you'd never believe what they can lift.
I have two of them and they can pull them slabs into place!
They can lift them slightly to wedge etc too.
