[Tomtiler]

I am doing a school entrance in Ayr using a 600x600 tile and a 1200x600 and a 200x600 all laid in a special patter so hopefully get some pics uploaded

 

[Rich]

Look forward to seeing the pics.

My and my brother have 2 bathroom to start on Monday, coincidence would have it that they are right next door to each other. What are the chances of that, one is number 33 and the other is number 31, completely unrelated... Strange.

just another string in my bow doug. started the tiling because of the dangerous gasses at the welding. sat my tiling exam at westlink tile training with Jim manning tile contractor , a brilliant teacher sent me into booth with sink pedestal and toilet told me to lay out tiles and start , when i finished he offered me a job and that was me. Still do the odd welding work,, when needs must doug.

My wife is a welding lecturer, coded to asmy 9, she used to specialise in stainless when she was doing turbines.

 

[paul damian]

youre wife would be busy over in ireland at the minute doug there erecting wind turbines everywhere at the minute. Must be good money in them ..people actually selling property to purchase land suitable for these wind turbines. most of my experience doug is heavy metals , mig in workshop and arc welding on site, carried on after my dad who worked the shipyards at camal lairds as a ships plumber.

wife says, " nice to hear that peeps are still welding structural steel with stick rather than MIG"

i used to do a lot of steelwork, on site the mig is no good as the gas will blow away, we always used arc on site

 

[paul damian]

the stick is a far better weld doug than mig , If you were to take your exam today in welding it would still be done with the stick,, but gasses are highly toxic especially ferrous metals .

just drink a glass of milk before you put your screen on , that's what the old welders used to say :yikes:

 

[paul damian]

youre rite mike, used being the correct term. milk puts a coating on your stomach which helps when youre welding galvanised metal..

we used to grind it off, better for welding and no fumes (and as doug says wear a mask)
