Phil's latest Geo Job

[Dan]

We can't reply to posts in that forum as it is setup only for the thread starter to reply to their own threads to keep the job followable by others etc.

So I thought I'd link to it: http://www.tilersforums.com/wall-floor-tilers-work/71616-latest-geo-job.html

And then say - Reaaaally nice work there mate. Well done. As always.

It's gonna take a whole bunch of even highly experienced guys to take over your work when you hang the towel and retire on that beach mate.

Sorry Dan I thought I had done something wrong there my brain is fried. As for the beach, unless my lotto numbers come up, my trowel will hit the floor a split second before I do lol, I think I will die with my boots on.:yikes::yikes::lol:

 

[Dan]

Thanks Bri for your kind words, the floor is about 9m2 in total, the border is 19lin m, It took longer to prep than it did to tile.

I had to sort the t&g out first overlay with Hardie board, then 8 bags of levelflex floor is out of level by 40mm over the length.

It was hard to create a constant fall, but I managed and now you can't see or feel the slope, I will have spent the best part of three weeks getting it right. I hope to finish tomorrow/ Saturday, I have probably lost money on this one but the client is happy so that is the most important thing for me.

No wonder I can't retire lol.

phil, you get some people who know how to make money and others who know how to make beauty!! I think you fall in to the later!! Look at it this way though, when your working, your not really working ;-)

That is a lovely craft a real skill fair play to you, and all the hard work in the prep shows in the finished job.

Tilt fillet Ash, usually a piece of hardwood tapered from tile to lower hard floor eg. laminate etc.
