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

 

[king of pipes]

this one's not great if I'm honest (Topps tiles) they often break putting the wedges in but they will do supposed to regularised slate but a few high spots but will be fine once completed.kop

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.

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.

Day 15 of a 10 day job complete ☹☹
