House bashing

Although not house bashing as such, i have been on a site for the last three weeks and it has been good to have some company and banter for a change.... And it is bloody handy having so many places to dump your rubbish at the end of the day. not too sure i would like it all the time though.
 
the 10mm is about the joint to the wall on a floor it will not be seen as the skirting is fitted on top of the tiles. it helps to bash the floor down quicker:smilewinkgrin:[/QUOTE]

this is the best way to do it any how, looks clean and sharp, plus room for movement,
 
We start house bashing for a contractor on Monday.

Haven't done this since 2004 when we did Battersea Reach for St George.

We are starting with the Town Houses, so will post some pictures - they are high end.

Best Wishes

Anne

As promised I have posted a few pictures of this project,
 
Loving the house bashing at the moment. I'm on a site with fully tiled bathrooms and en-suites and floors totaling 75m2 per plot all in 600-600 and 600-300.
 
I am mentally knackered just reading this thread. All that meterage in a single day is very impressive. I'm sticking with domestic and they are mostly in loft extensions. Two flights of stairs etc. I can just about manage 12sqm in 2.5 days (maybe 2 at a push), but that's working around all the other trades too. Thanks Deno for sharing your skill with us. At 48 (49 tomorrow!) I will never never never reach a quarter of your speed. The main thing from this thread is that you are happy.
 
its funny if you had said to me 12 months ago i would be back on the house bashing and loving it i would have said you was mad. i was loving the freedom and the kudos of the high end domestic side, but to be totally honest the game is a bit of a minefield at the moment and every one wants to blame the fixer for everything that may go wrong. there is a lot to be said for domestic work and i have respect for the people that get involved in that side of the trade as i know full well how it all takes time and a substantial amount of effort to keep the client happy and playing the game. for me i have lost interest in playing that game and am finding a new enthusiasm for the site work. The pace is faster but there are reasons for that. You can fix a lot more in a day on site than you can on domestic work but this is reflected in the price so it is swings and roundabouts financially. if you are happy in your work it is all good.
