Todays Job

[Lirefighter]

Just obsessed with it not falling off, the tiles we have chosen are extremely heavy, I couldn't be arsed to brick it up so plenty of screws.

I do the same with plasterboard. Loads a screws!
Was on a job recently where the builder had marked out each screw position at exactly 250mm apart on a stud wall he'd built.

all sat in my living room whilst eating a chicken and mushroom pot noodle.

Ah, but is it a proper one, or a knock-off?

I always eat the real thing at home on account that my neighbours are a bit funny over cheap alternative pot noodles.

I've given up trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Next door buy Belmont chocolate covered biscuits, if we get biscuits at all, they are those boxes of broken ones.

Nope I didn't, no need as I am tiling the chimney breast, this was purely to fill out the boarding so it gives a base to the tile adhesive.

I water mine each evening. I have the most beatiful lawn in the village. I feel I need to as Lena and I was voted sexiest couple in the village.

Try and orientate the tiles so that your grout joints don't correspond with those plaster joints. Or just scrim it prior to priming/PVA-ing.

Cheers for the tip.

Yeah!

Without trying to deflate your enthusiasm, any problem that Pete has is pretty easy for any spark to diagnose for him. He has struggled with harmonised colours since 2006,

Frikkin harmonised colours What was wrong with the colour system we had before? Red yellow and blue were easy at a glance and solid green left no doubt as to what it was even for the novice. Black and brown in poor light must cause all sorts of problems
