What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

I’m not surprised mate, does it send your eyes all funny? A bit like you’ve been staring at an illusion?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Sometimes it does, especially up the step ladder.

They're on sheets, about 7" x 10". I'm using mapei flexi rapid set, white and mapei white grout right around. In the wetroom bit I'm using an epoxy grout which is recommended by the former manufacturer.

No, I've used 2 part grout before. What looked like normal grout with a latex additive.

I hear it’s a pita to work with and you need hot water and scouring pads to clean it off best having a word on the tilers forum for tips

A day off, I wish, enjoy.

Looks like a bit of SAS this week. Saturday and Sunday.

Starting another wet room monday. Have to finish this one. Got an outside tap to do before builders start on Monday up the road. An unvented cylinder to remove. Toilet to fix and a couple of oil boilers to service.

I will get to my 4 day working week next year.

Thanks for the tip. Was a bit of a nightmare job as there were no clear kitchen plans, materials in the way and floor not ready.
Everything was supplied for me on this job but I will make sure I have conduit next time.
