How was your week ?

[Gazzer]

Anyone done anything nice this week ?
I have been working on a new house, Bathroom, Ensuite walls and floors, Kitchen, Hall and WC floor.
It was nice to work which some decent tradesmen and made anew contact anyway , maybe 2 ?
When I started on Monday it was an empty shell, just a building. The clients have been painting on the evenings and during the day, Myself, a carpenter and plumbers ( central heating) have been working. In just a week the basic shell of the house is looking more like a home. Should finish off tomorrow except for a few extras and afterthoughts.x

How was you week ?

Kind of posted a few pics of my current job on another thread. Full bathroom fit.

Start of the week looked like this

By the end of today it looked like this

Few bits & bobs to finish off on Sunday. Facing, new door, gloss work, Silicon etc. Customer has been great to work for & has gave me the rest of the house to do. 3 bedrooms & hall to be stripped, artex removed, plastering then decorating. After that, the downstairs bathroom & then the kitchen. Pretty chuffed. She even brought her friend over this afternoon to see her bathroom & she took my card for a long list of jobs to be done!

Nice tiling.
about the last picture. what showerscreen is the customer fitting? Doesn't look like much to fit a glass screen onto the tiles. Might just be the angle?

Nightmare of a week for me,bathroom refit working in the prefab from hell! Not a solid wall in sight, spaghetti pipe work done by the numpty who done the job in the first place and made a complete botch of the job!

Working for the less able and elderly there is nothing I hate more than seeing rouge tradesmen (employed by local authorities) making a botch of people's homes! They might not be paying for the work but that's no excuse to make a complete pigs ear of someone's home!:mad2:



Thats my rant over

How was you week ?

It's a curve top glass shower screen & your right, if I were to mount it on the tiles, it would be at an angle so will have to be mounted on the facing. That's why I am renewing it to make sure it's completely waterproof

Handy enough week. Had two kitchen splashbacks and a half height bathroom then a small tumbled travertine floor to do tomorrow.

Not a dig Diggy, just fixing tiles in new build, like being on a production line, would send me to sleep. Don't think I could do it anyway.

not a bad week until yesterday morning. Woke up and my leg/hip was hurting, steadily got worse to the point where I can't put any weight on it unless it's straight, no idea what's brought this on, only thing I can think of is that I did a small 8m2 floor without any kneepads and maybe somehow that's affected my hip. According to chemists alcohol is a solution,,,chemists are my kind of solution guys:lol:

 

[area tiling]

Self levelled a 20 m2 dinning room on Monday, tiled it on Tuesday ! Went back to grout on Wednesday expecting the clients tiles to be in for her kitchen , and guess what they hadn't arrived! So had to take 3 days off, what is at the minute with customers tiles not arriving on time , this costs me money everytime it happens !
