IMG_1336.jpg

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!!!!

3-14.jpg

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

Ello' All........

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

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

IMG_1346.jpg

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:

IMG_1349.jpg

IMG_1348.jpg

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:

IMG_1347.jpg

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!
