Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

[Dave]

Edit May 2024: THIS is a New Show Us Your Work Thread for 2024 Onwards

This is the new Tilers Showcase Forum where we want new tiling work added, with each tiling job you complete having a thread of its own so people can see what kind of work you do, and potential customers can find your work

I thought it was about time we had a thread dedicated to all members of Tilers forums to show us any work that they do.

Be it from installing a kitchen to garden decking. Show us your work! Get those pictures taken, but then do something with them! Actually add them to a thread and some facebook groups with your website link in them etc and it'll help spread the tile love.

If you have done a job then please do share it with us.

Pics are a MUST as what is the point of sharing a job without them..:smilewinkgrin:.

So if you do a job and you take a few pics then please do share it with us.

Lets make it a big thread for all to view and input in.

Thanks Dave ..

I'm on travertine job at the moment I'll post some pictures when it's finished but I don't really like the colours in the stone it's a bit dark but it's supposed to be light if you know what I mean

9 days for that kind of quality is going some. Well done. I've got a similar one next week, only one bathroom in the house so I have to re-install the WC at the end of each day.

I had my spark do all electrical related work, plasterer skim ceiling, a willing labourer to help with lugging bits and painting of ceiling. I did motor on with it though....... totally knackered at the end!!! Mostly 10-12 hour days!

this is one of the trickiest jobs i have done i guess.
client wanted a 1 mt wide stone surround to kidney shape pool, but did not want a separate coping stone.
he wanted the paving to hang over pool and effectively become the coping in one piece.
I put disclaimer in as was worried that the stone that bridged the shell and concrete surround would crack on bridge join. builder tied in concrete to shell with steel and remarkably this has held for 5 years.
First we fixed 600 x random lengths x 30mm over hanging pool edge by at least 50mm .
We did not let stones overhang by more than 200mm as the tool my mate had made needed to hook over the front edge .
pool was not constructed accurately enough to simply make two external and one internal radius as per drawing for kidney pool.
For the tool ,Dave used 4 wheels off a shopping trolley and welded on to base plate
then he made a 1200mm arm welded to this that hooked over edge of pool with two running and lockable steel sleeves that would take a pencil that would be locked at desired distance back from edge of pool face .
furthest was 1000mm to mark the back edge of paving and nearest was 30mm forward of the pool face to allow for bullnose overhang.
we then got on a trestle in pool and run the tool and trestle along around the whole inside circumferance of pool wall approx 300mm under top edge of shell.
this tool marked by pencil followed the contour of pool exactly to front face and back edge.
we could then cut the front and back of stone off to an even 1000mm surround.
last job was to set the tool and template up to apply full bullnose.
pinned sections of plywood less than 80mm from finished coping edge with masonry nails in joints of stone.
re set tool sleeve and pencil to run round 80mm back from finished coping.
picked ply up and cut very accurately to line with jigsaw and spoke shave.
pinned plywood back down and now used portable dewalt router with water feed to run front plate against plywood, thus creating fullbullnose .
i think it was as tricky to lay stone level to pool radius as setting up tool and template.
in retrospect, considering the whole cost of project i would have made it easier on us if i had insisted that we cut all stone with joints at 90 degree tangent to inside and outside radiuses.
You can actually see the TOOL in one part of video.
sorry it is incoplete but thought you might enjoy the the difficulty of job

 

[kilty55]

your a clever man jonnyc

 

[jonnyc]
