Sod's law says! What do you say!

[Taylormade]

I enjoy all my work but love variety. Sod's law says my last 3 jobs have been small en suite full refurbishments from strip out to install. Nearly 60 and working in confined spaces! Keep catching my backside and my elbow. Even worse they have all been large format tiles so back butter and numerous cuts! And (grammar says should never start a sentence with and!)
guess what my next 2 jobs are!!!!!!

Snap, I'm in the same boat really. And in regards to catching things........I tore a nice strip out of my backside on a radiator bracket that was left there by a plumber.............Thankyou.

Yeah Bri from Porcelanosa. They cut surprisingly easily but that's what you get with a Sigma!! [emoji6]

Mmm thought nobody used tubbed adhesive on this site , as when its menproblems with there stuffit gets slatedby 95% of fixers, and bal gets slated more than most mmmm,:sofahide: , got to say though i like and use all bal products and never have problems when using there stuff

 

[Brian the Tile]

Sorry thst should say, when its mentioned

I think Stef just uses the buckets to mix in, I'd say that there's either weber set plus or Tilemaster standard set in that greenstar bucket, there's no way on earth he'd pay for a bucket so this is what he has to do [emoji23]

You for real Brian?

Nothing like jumping in with 2 feet & "assuming" that what you see in front of you is the real thing.
Do you honestly think I would use tubbed addy to fix a 1000x330mm tile??

As Bri said, I'm too tight to buy a bucket & I recycle all my buckets whenever I use tubbed addy.
Last count I had about 40/50 bal buckets left in my garage.

Almost there Bri, that's Butech one flex in the bucket.
Customer had to buy Porcelanosa addy to keep their guarantee!!

Your right when you say I'm too tight to buy a bucket, why buy when you get them for free? [emoji6]

 

[CJ]

Always robbing painters empty buckets..........find them better than BAL buckets. Nice flat bottoms.

Free buckets now there's a story. Got a cafe nearby that's a goldmine! All there Mayo, salad cream, ketchup etc comes in large buckets. They wash the buckets and give them away. Last week I collected 20 in varying sizes! Saves me a fortune. If you've got a cafe nearby use ask! They struggle to get rid of them.
Started this thread about variety of work and now we are on buckets!
