I'm coming to the end of that job now.
I've realised that I have of late been taking ridiculous amounts of time to do the simplest of tasks on this job.
What gives? I thought.
Then it dawned on me. I am absolutely drained at the moment. The mere sight of the job was sending me mad.
I must have had a mini brain storm. It is almost as if I had forgotten how to do stuff.
Whenever I came to tile, it was like I was doing it for the first time
Whenever I came to grout, again I was thinking "What do I do now?"
I'm by no means a specialist tiler but it wouldn't have been out of the question for me just to plug on with it. Sure I take longer as I don't do that much tiling. However I was actually thinking hard about every single tile. OK there was quite a bit of cutting, but this was ridiculous.
I refitted the sanitary ware this morning, then connected up and tested the new plumbing to it all. Toilet went in a treat, sink was a bit harder. It's the old stuff going back in, and the basin and pedistal were never a pair I suspect. Silly me for assuming that the waste in the basin wasn't leaking. It is, and most likely always was. Having already been in there of course it was fitted before.
Oh, and tiling. Spending some time levelling out the walls pays dividends.
