Hi Tilers arms members.

Please enter your pics for JOTM November 2010..


The prize for this month is a GOODIE bag from Mapei uk....

[Phil Hobson]

Here's my entry for this month, nothing like the architect planned, I had to insist on a bull nose on the step, also a variable to highlight the border. I used a decoupling membrane over the old concrete, then a backer board to reach the desired height. This job was completed today, I walked off last week as the quantities were all wrong, I was wet through, no lights using my headlight to see. On the good side eventually the architect gave me carte blanche, and my mate ed came along to share the freezing cold weather. PS, the riser was not my idea.

[Dave]

Excellent first entry..

i just cant make -up my mined if i like this Victorian or not ,your work is great Phil !! but the style/pattern's I'm not sure some days they look good, and some days old fashioned .
great attention to detail mate

[Dave]

They are supposed to look old fashioned.. ??


I think it looks the biz and at least some members post pics of completed jobs..

[Dan]

Ditto!

[Dan]

Yeah geometric/victorian stuff will always be just that, geo/viccy.

Retro in new builds / fancy apartments and the likes, but we have that many houses built around the time it was quite popular that current owners see the appeal to have them as it suits the style.

And I dare say if it wasn't so time consuming (therefore labour costly) to fit then I think you'd see bigger area's too. I can imagine some kitchens done with it with a nice range cooker and hand built thick wooden kitchen.

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

lol, lol tom's still on black-opps the last time i see him his eyes were Orange!! its just not my cup of tea!!more liked in dare i say it the north!!me thinks

[Dave]

London is full of geometric work.. i suppose that is north of somewhere..

[whitebeam]

I've seen some replaced with slabs from the gate to the front door

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

When I eventually get round to re-doing my kitchen I fancy a viccy floor, I think I've got Phils number!

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

very nice there mike, you made taking the old floor -up look a pleasure mate!!

[TF Ed]

no joint entry from phil and me lol

that floor is all phils work!! all the credit goes to mr hobson..
i have done a few victorian floors but the chance to work with phil on this and to do a grasmere pattern was a chance i couldnt miss...got some great tips and advice and im more than ready to tackle more advanced situations now, so a big thanks to phil hobson ... :0) just stop making me break those tiles with a hammer and chisel, i have a ts40 plus now you know lol !!

doug, definately get down to see phil on the next job he does...you'll be surprised how much you'll already know, but with phil giving you a few pointers then you'll be in your element ;0)

I am going to be giving this big push come january...liverpool is only 2nd to london in the country for victorian buildings, so i intend to work more with phil on some really interesting jobs...

well done efcmike!! be good to meet up one day mate, just dont mention the derby win ;0)
