PITA job

[macten]

4 days in and I don't feel I've made much of a dent in the huge piles of tiles I've got!!
Spent a day sorting out the concrete to get it level - had to hit it quite a bit with SLC (this was suppose to be all sorted!)
All the furniture still in the lounge, set of stairs that I had to take down with joiner (they had to go in lounge), fridge freezer, 2 dogs, kitchen units etc.. all piled in the lounge. Wanted to get all the ditra down on first day but fat chance.
No outside tap so I put one in last night to make my life easier.
Managed to finish hallway off today and get stairs back in - so managed to get more matting down so I can make a start in the lounge tomorrow.

See you haven't had that finger fixed yet!

 

[macten]

Ha - my fingers have bled everyday so far!
First cut of the ditra and I managed to go into my thumb 😳
Today was taking the bathroom door off and it has one of those tensioned chains (can't remember what they're called)
but it was fitted at the top of the door so max tension - that bit me bad, as I was wiping all the blood off the ditra one of
the labradoodle puppies rocked up and emptied its bladder all over my fein :rant:

What did you do after dinner! :sofahide:

 

[macten]

Hurrah - I'm in the lounge!

That Ditra doesn't half eat up adhesive - good job I added the word 'estimate' when it came to the materials bill!

Looking really good. ..

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Ok - what does PITA stand for?

 

[macten]

pain in the ***

Though in all honesty my *** is the only thing that's not hurting :sick:

As an Acronym I thought it was 'perfectly installed tiled application'!

I thought it was bread....
