would you risk it yet?

[doug boardley]

got a balcony to tile that's been put back from last autumn, first it was the rain, then the risk of frost. now that spring is here would you risk it yet or hold back another few weeks?

 

[Ian]

There's still some frosty mornings Doug, I'd give it til April.

 

[DHTiling]

Until you can say that the temp will hold above 5dgs cel then i would hold off a few weeks.. but next week is supposed to be nice and warmish..

that's what's brought it to my mind Dave, and the fact that I'm being held up on patio job

 

[DHTiling]

[doug boardley]

[jay]

Bit risky can you cover it

 

[doug boardley]

No, gonna leave it till April...not worth the risk:8:

 

[Dan]

I'm waiting a bit longer until I start planting some veg and whatnot. We keept getting frost around here early mornings. I'm itching to do it though!

 

[Del W]

I know we've had plenty of mild days,but theres still frosty nights/mornings.

 

[doug boardley]

there is Del, and it only takes one night of below 5deg C to ruin the job

 

[Dan]

If you do risk it and all goes well let me know as I'm itching to plant some veg and get the garden sorted out!

I've already done a lot of work on it, main walls countertops and water feature, yes you read that right, but the customer then decided he wanted a roof and doors on. So he's actually done it wrong way round, roof should have been first, to give it some protection. pics will be on when complete.

 

[John Benton]

The 70k is just my labour........:hurray: not really

 

[jay]

Have they made room for the fridge might be worth mentioning

Not keen on water features (make you want to wee) fire feature sounds interesting
