Grouted bathroom I tiled last week (and just been paid) then doing three floors in a mews house which has just been built but customer does not like the white floor tiles so going to rip it all up a replace with black tiles the place has light carpet thru out so plenty of covering.

Nothing this week, done a tendon in my hand and wearing this thing to stop me bending my wrist...

 

[John Benton]

Repairing wetroom tray and fixing mosaics for a customer who asked about what to do on here, first job off here

I finished a nice little Victorian floor yesturday, I was re-doing a bodged job. Ive put it in JOTM, which I havent done for a while.
Next week Im in Southend doing a steam room

 

[AliGage]

Had a day away from the build yesterday as had a few meetings to attend. Got back here this morning to find someone else was put on my work. Most of which has or should be redone. With reveal day looming tomorrow i don't know if i have time!
Glass tiles in the bathrooms they've used the green star that was for the kitchen splash back. They're literally falling off the wall!!
Metros in the kitchen has not been trimmed at the end of runs and it looks like the fixer has chewed the tile rather than cutting!

So so so annoyed!!!!!!

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Have you bumped into the bricky gang on site Ali? Hodgkinson builders? There local to us, Ian gets involved with this type of stuff all the time, ive been ropped in a few times tbh.

Makes you feel all good about yourself when youve done it doesnt it?

 

[AliGage]

Not seen them mate. There's a lot of work going on out in the grounds so they might be on that.

Definitely a good experience. Worthwhile and rewarding. But exhausting and chaotic. Got to be around 170 people on site today. Its nuts. Im surprised there hasn't been any accidents yet.

Little annoyed about the tiling that has been finished off whilst i was away yesterday. I wanted to rip the splashback off and start again. No time though. So i removed a few and grouted in white instead of grey. Will hide a few things but its not great.

 

[Qwerty]

Sorry to hear that Ali, not good

 

[Peter]

Take it yous are getting paid Ali?

 

[AliGage]

No pay mate. Its for children in need

 

[Mr Tiler]
