... 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 just cheap method but never have the flat and level tiles with adhesive like with sand and cement after vibration....Nothing wrong with the old methods , still the most economical way of fixing tiles in my opinion 10 sqm floor fixed in sand and cement at 25mm bed depth will cost under £20 for the sand and cement
how much would it cost for levelling compound and adhesive with that type of build up 20 bags of leveller and 2 bags of adhesive around 300 pounds
Would carry a tilley lamp as lot of jobs had no electric it was a pain riding along on my moped with my tool bucket strapped on the back and the tilley lamp swinging on the handle bars my, boss only supplied one mantle a week so if it went then it was down to you to buy them,also remember using pitch for the joints,did a few battery rooms at telephone exchanges,did not have a pitched pot had a old copper boiler,one day left it on to long melted the bottom the pitch caught alight and set the ceiling alight.
Anyone use spinks tiles....they would come with perforated cardboard sheets that you broke off to use as spacers....
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.
