Today a nightmare. Last of the 3.2s to cut and stick :eek::eek::eek::mad: Notice the fracture showed customer ,good as gold "ill get another" Yes please and get someone else to cut it lol. Another error whist being under pressure from client as he is moving in tomorrow. Look closely. Have one tile to fit in another room client forgot to order last in the chain. Plumber in there yesterday :eek::eek::eek: QQRCPcSUSuOnmmOnnbVFKw.jpg pTePSovRRSy+AZTjGHK95w.jpg 1jKUy5dOTCiEiLIWoG4ruA.jpg 51o5pWUdRlmoYcQ77CefhQ.jpg 1jKUy5dOTCiEiLIWoG4ruA.jpg Ssv%a6MXQ0aEdE8Nk2S0ng.jpg

Another fracture FFS. Any ideas we need the right hand piece ? View attachment 99433
Is shiny simon?
I had a phone call with a raimondi technician
and he says that the problems are only with the shiny ones.
Some brands use a lot of "frosting" to have the gloss.

I could Jerry, but then I’d have to kill you. :D
We have been very fortunate to have people like @3_fall , @GaryTheTiler give us some of their secrets. So they stay secret as there not ours to share. One day maybe we will be able to help people once were good enough ;););):D Started floor yesterday thinking this will be easy :eek::eek: Different techniques in moving and laying nearly went home after having to lift a tile that I measured wrong :rolleyes::rolleyes: 08ZaQ2D1TmSKZCO3BG1X6Q.jpg Ny4qHa0LQKaIt0scZ0XD+w.jpg

Good question. We were asked to do walls first by client. He thought it would be easier to do the chain. We also had to wait for the 3.2 on the floor which didn't arrive until the 1st June. We double tanked the rooms with Isomat 2 part waterproofing and used their waterproof and anti fracture mat as well. I would have preferred floors fist but its water tight with 3mm gap for Silicon
