The advice by the emergency services is:



They also advise protecting yourself from the sun, advising people to "slip, slap, slop – slip on a T-shirt, slap on a hat and slop on some suncream" and drink plenty of fluids.


Fluids ? Now would that be beer :lol:

I love it, can't get enough of warm weather. I find a nice cold beer tastes better in the heat.

I bet you were the bloke complaining about the snow as well :lol:

I grouted a kitchen floor yesterday and it was dry before it hit the floor and nearly broke a tile :lol:

 

[AliGage]

I prefer the cold and rain actually. Hate the heat. Took me allday to 11sqm! Didnt get done until 8pm. Was like tiling in a sauna!!

 

[peteablard]

I love the hot weather and having just landed back in the UK after 10 days in Cape Verde I could do with some sunshine to keep my tan topped up!!

I was back in the sweatbox again this morning to grout up.

This may shock you but in almost 13 years I have never used a mapei product! Until today. My customer has purchased colour plus in jasmine, and I am now converted. I will not use another grout if I can help it. Lovely to mix, easy to spread, to clean, to profile. Everything. Said to only mix what can be used in 20 minutes but I found I was covering twice the normal area in those 20 minutes. Felt a little too easy. Definately made the sweatbox more bareable. Top marks all round :thumbup::thumbup:

Glad you like the Mapei jasmine.
probably lucky that it is on a floor rather than a wet area.
Nothing wrong with the grout but if you use in wet area then it goes back to that unsightly orange colour when wet till it dries out.
i have had to seal the grout to help,prevent this happening.
honestly it looks dreadful on a babthroom floor / shower areas when wet and I have had many complaints.
plus side is that it is rapid and don't always need a Swiss double grout to get flush joint .

 

[AliGage]

I'll bare that in mind JC.
That's one thing i did like is you get a good, consistent and filled joint with it. I've gone back to using Weber adhesives but always found their grout a bit rubbish. Use to shrink or slump a bit. But the Mapei was a pleasure.

Tanking about this heat at the moment. Can anyone recommend a lightweight breathable steel toecap work boot as my feet are dropping off!!

 

[AliGage]

Don't usually year them mate doing domestic work. Less rules. Might have to invest in some soon though.
