Those City fans are everywhere Poynton Phil
We are Paul, C'mon yooooo Blues, bit of a iffy start to the season though, not a big fan of Pearson. Where about's in Leicester are you, I originate from Croft, near Narbourough
I butter the backs of around 20 tiles then throw them against the wall wiv my eyes shut! This keeps everything messed up just the way i like it!
Well thats what i may a s well bloody do!!!!
You can have one that is exactly on the tile line or one that is levelled round at a random height.
If you are using a random height line make a gauge, use a tile off cut or a marked piece of wood to check if the tiles are level with your datum, bit hard to explain.
The brilliant thing about the laser is that you can check at any moment how the tiling is height and level wise by sliding it up or down the pole.
I get a bit confused on datum lines Im under the impression that the datum line running around a room is the point you tile up and down from ? Then I've always read it can be used as just a reference point ?? So do you have 2 lines running around 4 walls one being datum another being one from your staff detailing tile + spacer size ? For layout purposes !
Thanks Pete yeah think so I guess you tiled upwards on that line
No Pau,l as Pete says the datum was a gauge for everyone to use, and now he can use it for tiling too.
The screed was going to raise the floor by 150mm (15cm).
Say a socket was need at 170cm and was measured off the floor 170cm before the screed went in then it would too low by 150mm, so every one would measure off the datum at 1 metre to allow for the raise in height after the screed.
Ta! It's bloomin hard enough to show someone on the job let alone try and explain it!!!
