Ouch :mad2:

Thats a job for the fein me thinks.........cut a narrow channel under edge of tile...........whack a bit of no nails type stuff and bang it in

 

[Fekin]

No problem then, strange he didnt want it done properly though if it wasnt going to cost him ?

Yeah, it would have been fitted at the time the last row of time was laid, but he said from the start to just finish he didn't want\need anything as the tiles came flush to the garage door rubber seal, then changed his mind after the tiling was done.

Ouch! I hate it when such things happen.

Some time ago, I was removing an old, ugly splashback with a hammer and a tile bolster. One of the tiles cracked, in a bad way, and sent splinters flying through the room. One of them hit my arm. It wasn't a big piece, and the cut wasn't particularly wide or anything, but it was deep. I bled like a ****ing pig; blood literally poured down my arm. I couldn't find my first aid kit, and it wouldn't stop bleeding, so I borrowed some super-glue from the customer and glued it shut :rofl:

That stuff was originally used to stop bleeding, so I mean, why the hell not?

And oh, I ruined a carpet while at it :rofl:

 

[hillhead]

very sore indeed,
about 2 months ago i had a full house to start,had only 6 days to finish it
.I got in another tiler and my usual helper,anyway first morning the tiles arrived and i thought we better all help unload the trailer !!!!! i jumped up in,armed with my lovely snappable blade stanley knife to cut straps holding boxes of tiles together,i cut away and handed the boxes down,near finished when i slipped the blade into my thumb !!! ouch !! throught the top and down 1/4 of my nail or more !!
damn sore.I'v had a few slips with them lately,have to be more careful.

Stanley Knives ! - ahh memories....my best one...

when I was a lad I was helping to rewire a house - having marked out the conduit runs on the walls I had to score the plaster and paper with a Stanley prior to chopping out with a bolster - it did give a neater finish.

I remember steadying myself, one hand on the wall, fingers splayed, pulled the Stanley up through the line and sliced the end of my finger off, blood everywhere.

I had seen a programme earlier about some chap chopping his arm off in an accident and taking it to the accy hospital in a bag of ice where it was successfully re-attached.

So I put my finger tip in a bag with ice and arrived at the hospital. I showed them the finger and the bag and watched several nurses stifle laughs as they pulled out my finger tip about the size of a pitza from the bag.

Rule one - pack limb etc in a bag and then in the ice - mine had absorbed the ice cubes.

Finger healed up - just a bit flat at the top now

happy care free, risk assessment free days:yes:

I couldn't imagine using a stanely to cut the backs off,like Dave says a wet(electric:yes: )cutter cuts through them like a knife through butter.

I like to use my imagination :lol: no matter what the end results may be

 

[White Room]

It should be who hasn't cut their self with a stanley blade:yes:

 

[faithhealer]

When I sliced myself up, my customer was so sympathetic she wrapped my hand up in cling film so I could finish her tiling without getting blood every where!

 

[White Room]

Their all heart:yes:
