Do you remember when ....

[Time's Ran Out]

With central heating you usually find that the tiles fall off ( but if they don't your onto a loser) but the cement pads bring the wall down!

And also make sure theres plenty of water the water level,

I wonder how many today even know what a water level is - the original revolving laser light!

They still sell them john, they still have their uses! I would have thought most have one buried away somewhere and only use it when they need it to get them out of a hole

Water levels are very common over here still.

Like the 3/4/5 triangle , the water level is a tool worth investing in !
When I bought my 3/4/5 triangle I wondered how I was going to get the 15 foot length in the van!
And how many times has the water level been cut to syphon off diesel ?
Can't get more accurate than gravity to keep your tiles level.

Ha ha i could never get the hang of the water level at the beginning of my apprenticeship i used to have the water shooting all over the place, (oh no another slap round the back of the head with the gauging trowel) lol

can you still use them if there's a drought...:sofahide:

As far as I'am aware if the water has been passed by the management apart from the colour it is perfectly legal even if there is a hosepipe ban.

I still use a water level now... Far cheaper than buyin a laser....

And you can see the level even in the sun!

... You had to break the ice off the drum to get to your tiles, you used sawdust to polish the floors and you got 10shillings a yard for fixing tiles with sand/cement!

By those were the days!!.
Who else used to push their bike up the cobbled streets and eat Hovis jammies.

Not quite that old but , did used to fix quarries in S&C with beating blocks and muslin cloths for cleaning followed by silver sand for polishing.
S&C still a good method for falls into gullies etc though.

Diggy :0)
