[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Stick a pool in your garden then im sure you will get motivated

i was thinking of building -one !!! but one with a completely new way of approaching it instead of traditional ,( it would make millions if you could build a really cheap in-ground pool for the common people ......

Looking good Bri

You can lay Rolawn all year round as long as there is no frost about.

Quality Lawn Turf from Rolawn: Medallion Turf

I have Rolawn Medallion grass and it is superb, I do most of my lawn work roundabout now. Scarify, aerate, top dressing, overseed with ornamental grass seed.

This is the result

lost a bit of momento now though with the bad weather and busy at work

 

[Mr Tiler]

you guys moan about having no work on.... look at that house lmao!

 

[Ian]

So 2 and a half years on, the wall isn't finished! However, the extension I've been threatening to do is out of the ground so, it'll all be getting done in one big job. I'd like to think we'll be somewhere near by summer time.

 

[White Room]

Is that a single storey @Bri or the double.

Double Mark, an extra 60 m2 in total, we needed more room and this was way cheaper than moving. I'm trying to project manage a fair bit of it as well as working! It's quite stressful at times!

Breaking through can be a dirty part of the work....

You're not kidding, I have found out that the worst people to deal with are scaffolders! Bloody hard work even getting a price from them!

Doing a full rewire in the house as well when the shell is up, that is the bit I'm pulling my hair out about, it's going to be a nightmare. I think moving out for a few weeks might be a good idea! Every utility is being relocated as well, water, gas, electric, BT line, moving the boiler! If I can get through that lot it'll be fine.

Have you chosen any tiles yet Bri?

Yep! Silver travertine for the ensuite walls and I'm actually going to have karndean on the floor downstairs, we're not having UFH and believe it or not, I actually prefer karndean/amtico to tiles on a floor.

Do you need the number of a good tiler, Bri ..

No it's ok mate, the guy who does my joinery says he can do it for a good price. Don't worry though, I've checked if he has suitable tools and his jigsaw is top of the range, perfect for cutting stone, I'd imagine his router will be able to do the bullnosing as well

 

[Ian]

A momentous day today, the scaffolding is down, so now the internal work can get going. Rewire and windows next week then some serious hours getting all skirtings and architraves changed, plastering, new kitchen...........
