Macten is a real snazzy dresser.

Keep up the good work lads.

Any new pictures?

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.

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:

Lovely floor guys btw

Border for glazing started, should be finished tomorrow:

Part of the Hallway after some joint cleaning:

Last tile will be laid tomorrow. We would like to get grouted but floor really could do with professional cleaning
and then sealing first. Have found a product by BAL that is a 'temporary' sealer that sounds ideal - that way me and Phil could
get done and let the owners clean and seal to their liking in their own time.

Last week Phil - WHOOT WHOOT !!!

 

[peteablard]

Looks suberb, definately one for JOTM!

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Be nice to get finished Nick, it's been a real challenge, but the end result should be worth the effort. All the getting wet and freezing cold will be forgotten, one day we will look back and laugh, but not for a long time mate. Lol.

 

[hillhead]

Not good weather for cutting etc outside!!Get that grouting started men and get outta there. Lol.Superb work.

 

[macten]

Just a bit of progress before the big push to finish.

Last bit of hall cleaned up:

Last tile being bedded in :hurray

Bolt holes for folding doors using 1/4 inch brass female plumbing connectors:

PS: Phil's been whistling along to Jimmy Sommerville today - apparently he's a big fan!

 

[kendo1]

Don't leave me this way...:lol:

Nice work.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Nice one Nick, I think my exact words (regarding Jimmy Somerville) where "I would like to punch his lights out. It may have sounded like I was whistling to you, I think all that salad cream has effected your ears mate. Lol.
