Trying to get this one done in 7 days which means I can rest up a bit before the next one. I feel broken.
Usual thing of gutting and ripping out.
Only 3 walls to tile and for the first time I'm using 6mm ceramics (1st time since tiler school anyway) Only ever had porc + natural stone jobs. Can't believe how fast they are to work with.

Nice Pacific Blue suite:

Looks okay mate,if the inside of the window is under 26cm (trim+ grout+silicon) could of saved your self a lot of cutting. Main thing is, your customer is Happy and so are you! :smilewinkgrin:2Balls
 
LOL, there are no slithers, the slithers would have been at boxing in of soil stack like before so I reboarded and moved shaver socket so customer could still fit his cabinet in.
Like Chinese whispers in 'ere :lol:
 
Was hoping to be done tomorrow but looks like I'm working the weekend now :thumbsdown:
Customer decided to have 4th wall tiled too.

I usually really enjoy the final fix but the basin, and especially the toilet, proved a right 'mare to put in.

The basin pedestal was an oversight on my part; it goes all the way back to the wall but also had a backing plate about 8'' long at the back (think they put that on afterwards to hang and dry at the factory). I had only moved the hot and cold feeds to the left but hadn't shortened them so now I had no room to slip the pedestal over the pipes. My only option was to remove the backing plate by running the pedestal through my wet saw :lol:

The toilet also goes all the way back to the wall - what a pain that was to connect the feed and the waste when you can only reach it through the back and it sits against the wall. If I see one of these again I'll make sure I have a 2nd pair of hands. Found it almost impossible as you don't know if the waste is properly connected when it's in its final position.
First attempt didn't work and water spilled out from under it on flushing so had to start all over again.
All done now though and I've learnt a few things.
