here you go.. lets hear it lol...

No Ali checked floor for movement wont say none but very little had to put a few nails in the boards to secure tho... Glued n screwd hardi. Sealed with sylicone and scrim. Then tiled n grouted next day even tho I used rapid set. Cheers.
 
is your husband pleased with it ? not bad for a diy, the window needs a lot of work to improve it but i guess when you hang your curtains up they will cover up the bad setting out and no need for coat hooks just hang your bathrobes on the edges of the tiles that are sticking out
Cheers for the feedback mate.
 
An l shape cut is not hard you can do one with just you're nibblers after scoring on your dry cutter with a wet cutter they are a piece of cake

Score them before hand! Why didnt I think of that cheers mate thats one for the books....
 
I spread the floor adhesive onto the floor boards.. And then fixed the hardi backer to the floor boards. The adhesive wasnt to level just to fill any voids... Is this not the correct method mate? Cheers
 
its been finished since... my cousin doesup houses for a guy and he heard I was into tiling so he gave me a bathroom to tile lol.

My cousin is a doctor and she knows I'm into first aid, but I wouldn't dream of diagnosing her patients knowing I would probably get things wrong!!!

Is it housing for the less able sighted?
 
Mr T Bag, is this one of the 'small' jobs you intend to take on? To be honest it really isn't an acceptable standard to be charging for is the simple answer. Regardless of the cut you couldn't do with the tools you had, there is a lot more wrong with the install.

Now this chap you did the work for may be happy with the job as i'm guessing his standards aren't very high if he didn't feel the need to alter the abortion that is the towel rail tails before it got tiled. So you may be happy with it and this customer might be happy it with it, but it is well below acceptable standards for most and another customer may well insist you rip out and start again at your cost. As for not having enough tiles, a good tiler could have spent an hour jigging the setting out which meant more cuts could have been used in other areas and I can see at least a whole row of tiles that don't need to be there once the bath is installed... which btw is always better to be installed before tiling.

Back on to the plumbing... who put those isolating valves on the shower tails? The plumber is going to have fun with that one when it comes to putting the shower valve on. No need for those to have been cut so close to the walls. Options are now limited.

F- Must try harder
