Got the edging strip in place. £12+ per piece, and guess what, I cut it wrong the first time (don't know what I was thinking, and yes, it's now too short in two places!! Anyway, just going to live with it as it's only the en-suite, had it been main bathroom, i'd have had to buy more.!! I plan...

I dread to think what it would cost from a company coming in to strip, rebuild, tile, plumb, elecs, and all materials, ie shower, sink, towel rail, underfloor heating, shower deck, tiles, grout, adhesive, etc. Just had to go spend another £100 on tiles today. For some reason I had...

Well, I managed a bit of work today. Got sick of it at about 2.30pm so went for a walk. Hoping to get the walls finished tomorrow, so I can seal them a couple of times. One hint, if you're fitting electric matting type underfloor heating, when you have it all wired in and are...

Nice job, and nice car. Great to see someone looking after the old cortina's. My wife is also an Art teacher and I understand fully where you're coming from. Always full of new ideas and too creative by far! :lol:

Ok, big push today and tomorrow as i'm off work, but my tile cutter just died!! That's what happens when you are a tight wad. Buy cheap, buy twice. :( I've done one small amount of kitchen tiles with it and half a bathroom and the motor is burning out! Avoid buying the cheap end 'performance'...

cheated and made a b***s of it I think. Not happy with the result, and might do those two tiles again. I cut them down in line with the pipes, then cut the holes and fitted the two tiles back together!!! :lol: I might have to isolate the central heating, remove the valves, put two tiles in...

Not yet, snd i'm really looking forward to it! :cry:

I think tiling using natural stone hides a multitude of sins. :D The tiles I have, really range in sizes so it's a bit of an effort getting them to work out ok. Just done 3/4 of another wall before getting tired of it, mind you, I was up at 5am for work, then started tiling 2.30 and just...

Ok, so maybe I didn't do as much studying yesterday after work as I should have!! :lol: You know wot it's like when you want a project finished!!! Looks like bad weather Monday anyway. Prepare for snow!!

If you find the main socket, other sockets around the house are usually just spurs off this one. You can take the face plate off and disconnect them, leaving the main incoming cable in situ. I would have to check but I don't think you even need the bell wire anymore on household sockets...

Well, we can't all sit on our ars...I mean backsides all day and get paid a fortune for it. Some of us work two jobs just to survive. I've even got the young 'un out cleaning cars for a bit of beer money for me. He's only 3! I've decided not to post the picture of my tiling start. The reason...

I had thought about that but considered maybe that was too easy a solution when I really needed a deeper lipped surround to do it properly. It's just it will sit on a waterproof floor membrane and whatever lies on top of it can't puncture it. I'll have a dig around the garage and see what I can...
