Had to take out quarry's around the steel covers,then screed in
semi dry s/c ,floated it,then laid the quarry's in the screed and cut back 20mm from the covers.
Grouted in s/ c then cleaned off.
This was at a sewage works,what you call a quick smash and grab,get in and get out ,stunk

been working at home today. Tomorrow starting on roughcasting a big semi-detached house (both houses) due to two time wasters that I quoted for that liked the start date I gave them for 60m2 floors, but never got back to me to discuss the quote.

Thats the reason i hated it, i loved dashing, cleaning up was a pain but with wet dashing its even worse, horrid dirty job .
Not much call for it around here anymore thank the lord

 

[White Room]

Wet dash is soooooooooooo messy, years since I've done any though.

 

[Stef]

Not a bad few days for me & the boy, my new apprentice,


About 40m2.
Good start to the week.

 

[DHTiling]

Have you used green star on those tiles..?

 

[Mr T]

Nice bit o tiling there matey

 

[Dougs Third Go]

Have you used green star on those tiles..?

I think Stef used it as a mixing bucket Dave, judging by how battered it looks:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Stef]

All done with Green Star Dave..























Na mate Doug has it spot on, I have about 40 or 50 green star buckets all cleaned ready to go.
Remember I'm Scottish, every penny's a prisoner to us.
Why throw away a good free useable bucket?

 

[Stef]

Have you used green star on those tiles..?

It was Weber set plus in the bucket.
Use Weber most of the time now.
Great adhesives at great prices from CTD.

 

[Andy Allen]

bit of a slither in the shower in the first pic, is that because of the size of the tray..?

Yeah Andy, I couldn't move it out any or I would have had to mirror the other wall.
It would have came too close to the door facing on the other wall.

 

[cam_low]

Well I'm off back to the house of horrors in golders green. Apparently the plumber has had another leak whilst I've been away. 7 in total now. Think he wants to pack in plumbing.

 

[Dougs Third Go]

turned out to be dry-dash after all
