Time's Ran Out
Are you sure that's it now!
Ok - it's one of the best jobs ever to be posted on here in the 7 years I've been viewing.
One could tell from the model to installation it was going to be a bit special and those pictures just show that there are new developments happening in our trade all the time.
This is work of the highest quality and you deserve all the praise (along with your team) for an outstanding project.
Well done Marc.

Yep think so mate!
You're dead right John, our industry is developing at a rate of knots at the moment.
I appreciate that there was a lot posted about the job, but one of the ideas behind the posting was to show exactly that, and to try and take away some of the mystery away in fixing it.
Because a lot are weary of it.
And the fixers that do have a go generally have a
"I've been fixing all my life, I know how to do it!" attitude, which then often ends in tears and they blame the product.
When instead, they should be taking the blame themselves, because they've refused advice.
There's nothing wrong with the product at all.
Certainly not Porcel-Thin™ anyway.
You may think I'm biased, and maybe I am to an extent, but, every job I've been involved with, the tiles are perfectly sized, square and not at all bowed. Which as we all know is common place now with large pieces.
Large formats are here to stay, and are growing in popularity with developers, architects and the general public.
Before long, fixing these types of materials will be common place, I genuinely believe that.
And if flooding the forum with posts helps to educate one more fixer or helps to change the way the product is viewed by a fixer, I've done my job.
But deep down, I want to be the only fixer in the world that can do it!
But that would be selfish
and irresponsible of me!
....and I thank you for your kind words and appreciation John!
Everyone who takes the time to comment, has my full respect.
Cheers.

Now that is real class, and it took a class act to take the job on and finish to that level of perfection. The attention to detail is impeccable. So much care taken over the project from start to finish (even though other trades have tried their worst to mess it up). You stuck with it Marc, and I know sometimes you feel like walking, persistence and patience on your behalf. Well done mate, an absolute credit to you and your labourer
