That is not your run-of-the-mill tiling job!!.........looks very neat!!

 

[beanz]

He can't tell you because it's all top secret and a risk to national security if such information is divulged in a public forum.


BTW Bri I'm guessing the tanking is Mira 4400 multicoat but could be wrong.

Is that a "No Comment" Lee??

And what happened about the lights?

 

[Protilers]

Hello Beanz.....

well, could be wrong.....or he could be right.............but I would put money on Colour republic putting a good quality non-woven vinyl wallpaper on the tanking and it and it surviving!......and as for the lights there are 2.5mm feeds.....makes you think 240V....

but i have found the ends of the feeds (for the master bathroom)and instructed the client to install 12v transformers there.....and then back to 2.5 twin and earth to the consumer unit.....
the one I am working in (ensuite)......I still have no clue!

all the best

Ooooh you're so secretive!

Glad you've managed to sort somethng with the lights without having to rip it all out mate (in the main bathroom anyway). Nothing more soul destroying than wasting time doing a good job, just to rip it out and do it again because of someone else's ****-up.... It never goes as well the second time for some reason lol!?!

Here is what went on with me today!...........

first off, not a lot got done mainly because I had to get plasterboard props from my warehouse (6.30am) pick up the labourer (7am) and then I needed to get extra tiles from F.E.E.T.......
and today Rays brother Ricky was Late........8.30am (in fact he was early!...they open at 9am.....but he usually gets in at 8am (we were there @ 7.30!)...I was in a bit of a daze (dog tired) but that's another story........

Anyway,

got over to the job at 11ish.........I hate starting work late!........at one point I was going to abandon ship!............here it what I did:

I am going back on Monday......should be tiled and grouted by then...............Enjoy your weekend chaps/Ladies..............

All the best

He works in London, it can take 2 hours to get to the next street in some areas!

 

[Protilers]

Evening All....... I hope you are well!............


I did not go to work yesterday.......must have hurt my back on Friday Because I was laid up all weekend.....and driving to work on Monday I had to abandon mission and go to the osteopath's.......
it was killing me!!!!...


Anyway I turned up there today and started to do this (really slowly!...hehehehh):

when I turned up I knew I had an awkward cut to get around that weird boxing/pigeon hole/ shower valve thingy!!!.....

I finished the main wall and realised how far out of whack the boxing was!!!...not just the box but the holes also!!!!!!!!!!.....so I had to square it up in tiles!!!.......

I cut the facia and tiled on tiles around the edge of the boxing (no choice really IMO).......but here is how it turned out:

Tommorrow I will Silicon and grout!......


all the best
