[Protilers]

Evening all.......

its the end of another day.......and we are getting closer to the bank holiday!!!!!! yipppeeee!!!!!

after adjusting all the boxing (in the picture below) yesterday......today I started to tile it....



I carried on using my 15x15mm square notch because the wall is not perfectly level....nor is it flat!!!!!!
and that dont help when the customers want mitred edges etc............Builders EH?











starting to look like a bathroom!!!!

best wishes

Lee.

 

[Tony73]

looks good Lee but why did you star wall with small cut, and finished tile to ceiling with small cut? :dozey:.

 

[Protilers]

because the architects drawings wanted 3 whole tiles from the floor and then the baden/dado.....but that could not cover the boxings that had been build by the builder and it left horrible cuts all over the place.....
the main one being where the boxing is......so i split it so that there is half tile on the face of the boxing and half tile on the wall behind (making it a whole tile visually).....and then the baden/dado.....

like this one in another room:



hope that helps Tony

Best wishes

Alright all!!!!...... it's a long weekend!!! (for some!)...........

here is what has gone on Today (and a bit of yesterday!).....

First off I finished a couple of the rooms off...silicone and everything......here is one of them:



my proud moment....a mitred corner:









and what I am doing at the moment....I had to fix this corner because it did not match with the drawings.....and therefore screwed up the set out......no biggie..........



job done.....and then there is this wall......as rough as a mountain face........mmmmmmm..........i will give this one a bit more thought.....



after a moments contemplation I decided.....rather than skim with adhesive or replaster I will break out my new 15x15mm square notch..........







job done!!!.......

I am going to Belguim over the weekend but will be back to work on Monday..........

so its sweet and sour for me......

enjoy your weekend!

Lee.

Evening all.........
more of my nonsense I am afraid........

fist of when I arrived this morning there was a massive problem with the electricity supply..........and this is what that looks like:



Basically today was the day the spark's switched over the consumer units.....but did they tell anyone?.......of course they did not!!!!!!!
2 hrs of no power...........

Anyway....
managed to finish the floor in the last bathroom (mixing adhesive by hand!!!!.......)



while that was drying I went upstairs and sealed the tiles with a little Universeal rapid all in one!!!!



then back downstairs and started wall tiling......



Enjoy your weekend!!!

all the best

Lee!

Ello' All........

I have had a really bad day.........

the first thing that happend was a was getting ready to tile this wall:



looks reasonable enough........but it is sooooo out of plumb, square and level.......I tried to rip it all down.......
but the builder had stuck it to exsisting (with a few shreads of batten behind) with PU Glue..........I consider myself quite strong...I was hanging off the boards and could not get them off!!!!!

so I finished off this wall including the mitred corner:





Inbetween using rapid flex as plaster on the really rough wall.....I called my bank......and they have "lost" a £13,000 payment!!!!!.....Removed LOST!......LOST!!!!.....OMG!

never mind........

for your entertainment here is the last photo I took today:



as you can see I have needed to remove the hardibacker on the top of the wall and screw it sooo tight with my in=mpact driver I needed to remove the plasterboard behind......

and when that was done I needed to "float" the hardi with rapid S1 to get it flat...............what a day!!!!!!........I did 4/5m2 all day......what a joke!.......

best wishes

P'd off......

Lee!

P.S Who Floats out Hardi?..........Builders..........bish, bosh, whack...with a level (spirit) that they have owned since 1990......and they only got that one because the other one was "really covered"......honestly!

rant off!
