OK - don't even think about tiling today!
I've done a couple of hundread 100mm tiles on the kitchen walls - and it's nearly killed me - I'm soaked thru!
If you were thinking about it - don't bother :)
Cheers Dan.
May I suggest for your HSS checklist for next time:
1) Tile cutter; 2) Bloody big air conditioner.8=)
I am also mad - having just hired a Rug Doctor, I will now clean my carpets.
Heart attack, heart attack, heart attack Oh yeah!
Cheers Tim
And I've just forgone the core bit approach and laborously knocked out a
120mm diam hole through 2 leafs of bloody hard brick for a flue.-- Mike W
You'd be no good working in Saudi then. ;-)
Actually I'd probably be fine. Was in Qatar a few weeks back - and I had forgotten that they start work at 4am in the trades over there - and rather bizarrely - ix ice in with the concrete mix to slow down the setting process...
At 4am I could tile happily - but sod lunchtime out there!
Cheers Dan.
Bought one...
Errrm - yes - would be nice :)
Cheers Dan.
Put my final tile on this afternoon - and soon learnt the trick of using ice-cold water in the tile-cement, my first batch went off in 10 minutes, not the stated 20 mins.
"At 4am I could tile happily",right so what was wrong with doing the tiling at that time this morning? ;-)
Ahh that ones easy - only been aslep for about 2 hours and had far too much Aussie red last night...:)
Cheers Dan.
I didn't. I sat under a big sunshade on the deck drinking ice cold 1664. Then again, it is my birthday :-)
Happy birthday Dave ;-)

That IS mad!
Get rid of the carpets.

Well done!
Any excuse for a party :-)

Wish I could - alas, two words: "rented accommodation".
Technically, I'm sure the landlord would agree to me fitting vinyl, but I don't have the inclination as it's not my house.
Anyway - they are clean and shiney now :)
I'll go and butcher the garden next.
Cheers
Tim
So put the vinyl down now and put the carpet back on top of the vinyl if and when to leave?
Which bit of "I don't have the inclination" did you miss?
;-|
Basically, I don't do major jobs to a house I don't own, especially if it costs me money. I can put up with cleaning the carpets once a year (small kids). If it were *my* house, the carpet would have been long gone.
Cheers
