Not ANOTHER bathroom - this is too much :)

[cornish_crofter]

Just got in from getting my van back from the main dealers and wife said "I'll feed you but I need to chuck you out again".

An elderly couple around the corner from me need a bathroom swapped.

It won't be a big job but it's work.

Thats the 2nd such enquiry I've had since new year, both this week.

Hi Jimmy, this bathroom was tiled a few years ago in 4 inch rustic edge tiles, not brilliantly I might add but they want to keep the tiles they've got.

They are going to see if they can find some tiles for the area behind the old low level cistern (suite is 40 years old they tell me), plus because the pan outlet goes straight into the floor and the soil connection can't be moved, the new close coupled toilet will have to have a boxed in area behind it.

The cast iron bath should be good fun! :smash:

It seems I'm getting a lot of work through an unlikely source, a village magazine! Plus my wife works in the post office and is often asked for my card.

It's likely there will be a max of 2m of tiling, plus the boxed in area to do.

Will a swan neck not help CC?

Good point, but I don't think there is the room for that. I'll look into it though.

Just handed them the quote this morning. I think they were impressed it came so quickly.

Good for you Cornish, your reputation seems to be spreading, well done mate, you see, its not all doom and gloom. :clap:

I'm not worried about lack of work too much because:

1) Financially we are structured to live on very little in the way of work.
2) I have worred in the past not having anything firm booked in, then all of a sudden I'm telling people they can't be seen for months.

I did 4 quotes today.
Got a 70m2 & a 25m2 porcy floors to do. Also waiting on 2 bathrooms (she wanted to get another quote before saying yes) and have to confirm my quote via email for a 12m2 kitchen floor. Got a new vets practice to quote sometime next week, too. Oh, and I had a call today to do another bathroom but don't know when I'm going to even get time to quote it.

It def seems to picking up round here!
Hope it's getting better for everyone else, too!

With interest rates on the floor people are spending, if they've got it to spend.
