What we all starting/doing monday then ??

[jonnyc]

Had a disastrous start .was informed a two week job for four of us delayed by three weeks just three days before Xmas. No chance to find more work over Xmas period.then cracked couple of ribs on 29th tripping over the cat.
got in the van first time today which is bearable when the painkillers kick in.
seen a number of stone cleaning jobs for old clients and by giving them a very good deal have sorted next week out with another stone job so just about covering wages.
all in all not much different than last year but by 21st start first of five back to back new builds which are about 90 Man days each inc double stone staircases in each so all in all hoping this will be the year that gets me back to what is was like prior to 2010.

It's all Porcelanosa so I need flat walls (90x30 tiles)

They've got their annual 40% discount sale on now, bargains to be had for people who didn't think they could afford from there, although my client has spent about 11k even with the discount before any other trades have been accounted for.

John, ive not long finished two en-suites with 900x315 porcelanosas, i must admit i wasnt overly impressed with the quality of the tiles.
dont get me wrong they were bang on size but a few of them were bowed, not like porcelanosa.
Cant remember the name, will check tomorrow, the floor tiles (660x440) had a bow in some of them aswell, still at them about 200m2 to go,
the house is never ending..

Keeps you out of trouble stef

Yeah, ever so slightly.

I got informed on Tuesday, last day of 2013 that it was the wrong colour of grout!!!
They are over the moon with the 2 upstairs en-suites but want to know if its possible to change from Cemento to a beige colour.
I have grouted about 30m2 of downstairs bathroom.
Not going to be easy if at all.

I've got 3 bathroom/toilet floors coming up - if seems as though everyone I speak to only wants floors done.

Two of the bathrooms are 1.63 sqm and 1.96 sqm, so nothing huge at the moment.

The third is part of a 'regeneration' project of the bowling club I'm a member off, which comes to about 7sqm. There are three further toilets in the bowling club to do, so hopefully that will kick start this year for me - they are starting with the one that is in most need of being done, which you will be unsurprised to hear is one of the gents!
