So How Was Your Day?

[Albert]

Just

Long old day today, Tiling 500x500 and got a step to do and the kitchen company has supplied me with l shape trim same size as the tile

Just run your grinder along the back of the tile

Would there be any heat benefit from that size mat

I tell a lie it’s actually a 1.5m mat I’ve just remembered. It’s n a small porch, it’s 200w mat, I can’t see it warming the room but it might take the chill off Slightly. Could have done with a bigger mat really, but that’s electricians measurements for you.

150w or 200w per sq metre.....same as most mate

I didn't even get offered a brew whilst working at home! Time for a new wife perhaps?!

 

[GoneGuy]

Started a nice job Monday, local etc but the customer I’m not sure if she is all there as she keeps adding to the work scope, today she bought pattern border tiles ( 100x10) 50p each and said can you do anything with these ( all chipped etc ) I just looked at her funny when she said maybe a row of white ( 450x250 ) these border, row black ( haven’t even seen or know about them) then a row of border and have the grout different colours as well.

 

[GoneGuy]

And to top it off she showed me the floor tiles 600x600 ish from b and poo.
Why me

 

[One Day]

I put my grinder blade into my index finger this afternoon at 4pm.
Decided two things -
1) time to go home.
2) stop trying to cut fiddly little pieces using a grinder.

My finger nail stopped the blade and I think the heat cauterised it.
Throbbing now!

Hence the purchase?

@hmtiling, @impish I think your wife would prefer to have all your bits in place and the £1000 metro saw than a fat pocket with parts of you missing

 

[One Day]

Crazy logic maybe but if I had really damaged my finger the lost time off work would cost loads more than a decent saw which would have prevented an accident!?
I had to take 4 weeks off after finger surgery 4 years ago. That really hurt financially.

The logic is sound imo. Look forward to a review.

Poor dog still not good despite 2 blood transfusions and 3 different antibiotics at the same time, her white blood cell count is through the roof. She spent the night before last in the hospital and is all day everyday at the vets having IV antibiotics. There's a dog on standby if she needs another transfusion.
The Council have been discussing the Wild Boar problem and it seems a cull may be in order.

Well that was a strange day, into CTD this morning picked up 20 6mm Jackoboard insulation boards for 2 wetroom plaster walls. When I got to job and opened back doors of van smelt like rotten eggs and couldn’t think what it was. Then after I had taken boards in customer asked if I had opened the waste pipe as awful smell. Struck me to smell boards and they were stinking like rotten eggs. Customer wasn’t happy to have them installed in case smell never went away so back to CTD with them to exchange. As CTD got more we checked all of the pallet and they all smelled like rotten eggs so they opened up a brand new pallet and they were fine! Wonder if smell was a fire retardant coating that didn’t dry or if there is sulphur through manufacturing?

 

[Andy Allen]

Sure you didn’t fart....

 

[Qwerty]

That will be something to do with the coating used on the face of the boards. Same thing happens with acrylic primer when it goes off.

Found out the coating on face includes formaldehyde and they reckon boards were over treated.
