Hello people. I went around to finish off a job I did for my sister in law today. I thought I would upload the pics here just so you can see that I've not forgoten every thing I learnt.

Its only fair, i've been looking at others work on here, about time I put something up, heres a job I did last week.

How do you get photos up, i did it before but i cant remember how i did it.

Here is an insurance job I did in May, I loaded the pictures in order of sequence, but they have uploaded in a total different order. Anyways, you can see the original problem they had with the wooden flooring - yep, dampness caused the floor to blow at least 2" lumps, it was like a trampoline, so I set to work and disposed of the wood to find one leaky diswasher union under the units, old tiles underneath, some were loose and removed, some old flaky screed, all in all took me 3 full days to prepare and screed. The yellow de-coupler is the new dural ci+. You may notice a slope on the door end of the room which had a drop of 200mm over 1.5 metres, so quite a challenge to get that covered without lips. I bullnosed and polished the tile ends in the doorways, so that no thresholds were needed. It's unfilled trav in bella opus design. :smilewinkgrin: They were well chuffed and I've now got their round the pond patio, bathroom and old part of the cottage reception room to do, the pond area in sandstone and the other rooms in trav

Nice work Ken, it's all in the prep.

Nice floor Ken, how did you find the new Dural Ci+.? ok to work with..

 

[Ken Bruty]

Cheers guys,

Dave, the new ci was easier to fix because the edges didn't try to spring up at all, and it seemed to be easier to lay in a straight line if that makes sense (perhaps more stable), the older one seemed to want to stretch when flattening out, so all in all yes, better mate.

 

[DHTiling]

I haven't tried the new version yet and that was my gripe with the old mat that it used to try and spring up at the edges..so good news that it does want to lay flat.. lol

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

I would agree with that Ken, seems a little more rigid, as you say the old one tended to wander as you laid it:smilewinkgrin:

Put some big red glass tiles up today all with silicone:smilewinkgrin:

Job not quite finished yet, floor still needs to be grouted, magic corners still to go in and some other last odds and sods but nearly there with this one.
