fast tiling

[Ian]

Your work looks spot on Deano, I don't think anyone has called you for being fast have they? I know for a fact that if I tried to do that much in a day, I'd **** it up somewhere and I reckon the reason is, because I have a short attention span, I find tiling to require quite a lot of concentration which means I have to stop every 90 mins or so to let my brain recover, sounds daft I know but, it's the same reason I don't work longer than 8 hours a day, I know I'd end up pulling something up the next day.

As my old man always says when asked by a customers what time he's going to work to "When i start losing the tools in front of me' it could be 4 or 7 o'clock.
As Bri says that's when you start making mistakes.
Saw your work at Martins, Deano, it looks fab, considering what you had to do to make it right. They are delighted with it.

spot on Dean,, slow tilers??? (you know what's coming next ha ha!)

 

[John Benton]

Can't fault that Deano, why didn't you use rapid and grout same day? I'd have kicked you off the job for that :sofahide:

Seriously though, it looks spot on, I could never have got that lot down in a day, what prep did you have to do?

Floor looks lovely Deano, the only way I could have done it faster than you would be if i painted the floor white then just drew grout lines with a black pen...................thinking about it, you would have probably still beaten me, as I would have to wait for the paint to dry.

Are you sure you haven't just dry laid them! Only joking.

I would be over the moon to achieve such quality tiling in a day.

it was me and a lad we had to scrape all the plaster snots of first then give it a sweep with a stiff brush then i got the cordless grinder with the cup grinding disc to take off high spots then tree goes with a soft brush and then two coats of primer. started at 7.30 prep done for 8.30 cup of coffee or two started tiling at 9.30 packed tools away 2.45
and was at home having a coffee with the wife at 3.45

That is good going Deano, I said in a post from Ash that fast doesn't mean good but I also stated that slow doesn't mean good either..
It's pleasing when you can get a good run at a floor..
You will have made enough money from that floor to add a few tools to your ever growing makita collection..

Thank you for being honest and up front about this deano, connecting to the post you mention in the o.p... It clearly can be done and is done on a daily basis. Job well done and will look great once the chippy goes in to fit the skirting
