Macten is a real snazzy dresser.

Looking good Nick and Phil, its great to see such a nice floor being re-cycled
I like the wee bridge you have made too

I have some dark brown 6x3s it the shed, but they are new OS tiles though?

Phils' been in this game for long enough to insist we knock up some bridges - 3 toddlers at various stages of toddling are toddling around !!

Think we have a solution for the buff and brown shortage but now desperately after some whites!!
Again, reclaimed if possible.

I think the cover bridge is to stop me toddling on the floor.:lol:

I will vote for you guys JOTM when you finish. In April. :lol:

 

[macten]

LOL Andy, hope you're wrong - think I've developed trenchfoot today!

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Just a few more pics of the job in progress, we would like some feedback from members if poss. We are trying to talk the customer into having a plain black border ( variable), he had in mind a fussy pattern for the border. We think it would detract from the floor pattern, were as a plain black would bring out the colour/design. What do you guy's/gal's think?

As you can see we are having to make a lot of the pieces from smaller tiles (white triangles, buff squares). Most of the other tiles are being made on site by Nick.

Looks great guys. I definitely agree about the border Phil, it needs to be black. Hopefully you can talk them round! Look forward to seeing the finished pics

Going by pic 11, definetly a fixer with that bum hanging out :lol:

Phill did you make that brew? is the most important duty on a job looks like a good one :smilewinkgrin:

Agree with the border hope he goes for it and good luck with your quest for the white tiles

 

[macten]

Thought we might be done by middle of next week but I doubt that now.
The day when me and Phil discard our spent Silicon cartridges can't come soon enough.
Phil even said today must have been one of his most challenging tiling ever!
Just want to say thanks again to Phil - the end IS in sight! Good job as well 'cos I'm bloody frozen!

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Never mind Nick, I'm sure ther will be a place set aside for us in tilers heaven. Full tiles everywhere flat Walls and floors, I will be there long before you, so I will let you know what it's like mate.:lol:

 

[macten]

My idea of heaven is already fully tiled!

 

[hillhead]

Keep up the good work lads.

 

[Ian]

Any new pictures?

 

[macten]

I'm sure Phil will take some tommorrow - Hallway should be fully tiled by then. Fortunately the customer went for the black border and it does look good. Still got an 8m linear stretch of border detail to do infront of some glazing which needs shoring up first.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Just a few more pics on the Nottingham job, Nick and I found out that the tiles came from ten different floors, not four. We are fixing tiles from not only different era's, but from multiple manufacturers, some of the pics show the size and thickness we are trying to deal with. We are good, but not that good.

This job has pushed my experience and patience to the extreme, and Nick's ability to withstand the elements.

Looks like a real patience tester! Is that a reminder to do a quote on the piece of wood in pic 4? Write it on whatever comes to hand :lol:
