So How Was Your Day?

[macten]

Tiling in a new extension atm. Grouted and siliconed ensuite today and made a start on the kitchen splashback. Final fix ensuite tomorrow and if anytime left carry on with the kitchen. The ensuite walls are great because of the wall dimensions and tile sizes I reckon everyone of us on here would have set out the same. Last time that happened was 6 years ago!

Very good week so far until i saw the state of my big mixing bucket after the labourer had gone. Looks like he'll owe me money this week

They certainly are. I'd never use an apostrophe in "standards"...

Final fixed Ensuite in a new extension yesterday and going for it downstairs in the kitchen. Should finish splahbacks in kitchen, utility and downstairs WC tomorrow. Am buying some rapid set on the off chance I'll have time to grout and silicone as I really don't fancy working another weekend. (worked everyday for the last 5 weeks!)

Am still loving fast fix bar mixer kits and now also loving isolation valve elbows!

Tbh, they threw in the micro joint stuff for half price so went with that.
I do think the other one eats up gear though.
