If its any consolation i don't think bal level max can take a spiked roller, it raises the fibres

That's not one I've heard before, was going to highlight but it's already done🙂

Yes, sorry about that!

from bal level max tech data sheet:

Usage procedure
1. Prime the floor surface if required and allow to dry before
mixing BAL LEVEL MAX. Note: Timber board joints where
gaps between boards are open, use thin heavy duty tape
to bridge joints, care must be taken not to over
everywhere in tape (this will help to minimise the leveller
disappearing beneath the sub-floor).
2. Pour mix over sub-floor and spread to required depth
using a suitable steel finishing trowel or long hand blade.
3. Surface should be sufficiently smooth to receive floor
coverings without further treatment. Note: Do NOT use a
spiked roller; this will pull the fibres to the surface

Not a fan of this slc, used it twice and found it hard going although the finish was good.

So started tiling the other day but because of work not done any more. Went back to it last night. Spotted some bits i was far from happy with so took a few tiles up to relay them. This is where i'm carrying on from this morning.

Using the tile easy lip clips. But have found that turning them too tight can move the tiles. You may spot one grout joint in the picture that ain't perfect because of it, but its not too far out and won't be spotted when its grouted. I can live with it, but its another "lesson learned" to add to my list.

I promise, the red case is not mine. Borrowing it from work. However, i'm used to rubi and it hasn't let me down....... yet. Wanna try other cutters before i fork out for one. Just don't know anyone local with a sigma.

As for that dog, he's been a pain. Keeps getting in the way. I shut all the doors to keep him out, and missus thinks its hilarious to keep letting him in.

Nipped out this morning. Got some food in me and cracked on. 2 hours in and only laid 12 tiles (3 metres). But trying to keep accuracy over speed.

And while i'm taking a short break (yep. Still bloody hot in there) wifey has offered to do one of my blue jobs. Gardening.

Looking good Paul, just a little tip mate...always best to finnish a row completely before starting the next, and clear the room of everything that doesn't need to be there..like the big red suitcase 😉

Thank you. Enjoying it, but keep getting interrupted. Would have liked to have got the tiling done tonight. But i've been told i must go to the pub tonight. But i'll behave (maybe), do the last bits in the morning and grout in the afternoon. Like the idea of no pressure when doing your own house, but kinda want it finished now.

Look good, but take your time and enjoy your drink in the pub
