What a lovely treat for a Friday!

This is a delightful window cill I was greeted by this morning. Render and skim, then a layer of tiles from about 1970 then a layer of very coarse cement. 6 hours to strip off, build it up to the right level and fit 1.5m2! To top it all off it's in my brothers new house so it was a freebie!

Thats the finished article! I'm very pleased with the wormanship and my brother and his mrs are over the moon with my attention to detail!

It has a sort of rustic feel to it.

 

[Ian]

Its the latest craze, I'm the first in the country to try it out! You'll all be doing it soon.

Such kind words! I'm not sure I'm ready yet, I'm still trying to perfect the art of dot and dabbing the tiles.

Thanks for the support Dave. I was going to put it in for JOTM but I'm not going to bother now. You've really upset me Gooner, I was just getting confident enough to start my own business, now I feel like I'm back to square one

Brian, if you do change your mind about your promising tiling career you can always get into cake decorating...
