I am working for this guy at the mo......

[Protilers]

I turned up this morning to start and was informed there will be four different colour's of tiles on the floor....plus decor's.....oh and they need to be "cut" to a point....and all lines in the decors must carry through..........GREAT!
I went to the room and it is under a glass roof......and it was exactly the same temprature as HELL........so off I went.......confidently I knocked up a bucket of rapid......stuck one tile.....and then turned around and i had a concrete bucket!!!....doh!...
it gets worse........he starts taking the micky....telling me I need to go quicker..............his mate threatened to get me a cold drink......that took three hours.......and I was sweating like my body did not want any water inside it.......
here are some pics:













And to add insult to injury......he said I was going so slow.......he is going to help me out..........HERE HE IS WASHING THE FLOOR DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



the worst thing is I am expected back tommorrow!!!.........hehehehehehehehehehehehehheheeeeeeeee

yes mate...tile on tile......

 

[ian158]

yes mate...tile on tile......

but..but..but..is that allowed !!

 

[Protilers]

but..but..but..is that allowed !!

why would it not be allowed?....if a substrate is solid, deflection free, and there is no chance of lateral movement.......guess what!......you don't even need a decoupler or anything!......hehehehehehheheeheeeeee

now on walls there is a different issue......WEIGHT!......I personally am still mulling that one over.....hehehheheeheheeeee

 

[ian158]

I suppose not..if it dont raise the floor too much where it meets the adjoining walls..
