Time's Ran Out

Dave - I would like to say we are suffering from our past, but I will not know till later in the week. We should have started a Big floor on the 18th and be finished 2nd week of Feb but they asked to hold back a week till we meet the owner as he now wants the 'wow' factor befitting a 5" property! They said they've looked at our web page and thought they'd not rush the project and ask for some tiler input to the designers plans. Well with the snow that meeting is now in this coming week so we have to wait to see is it's on hold or they really do want the Savoy treatment!
Still I'am off on my travels again the end of the week to the sunny south so I may only have a couple of days to get some exhibition displays up to date - only 10 months to go.
 
Was ment to be finishing off a trav Bathroom but had a call an hour ago now I'm off to cleethorpes pier. It goes to auction on Saturday and the current owner has just been to check on it and its flooded because of freezing pipes this will be the third year I've fixed the leaks last time it took days. Good job the house I'm working on is empty but could do without it really I'm so far behind as it is

Dougs Third Go

a 25m2 bathroom for me this week, carrara effect 600 x 300's ceramics, all externals mitred. I did the prep work last week that included removing skimmed plasterboard that had been emulsioned, scraping off emulsion on skim rendered walls, tanking wet areas etc. Hope to have it finished for thursday then travel up to scotland friday to start job there on saturday.
