well, have a job to enter at last. don't seem to get that many nice enough to put in here, but i think this one is worth a shot. i did start this one last month, but due to the plumber not turning up, not ordering the shower tray, then not ordering the shower stand, it ran into june. one of the pics has a paper in it (not mine, by the way), showing the last bit of silicone to run around the ceiling.
ok, so here's the pics. sorry if they're a bit jumbled up.

Thought i may as well have a go, white stairs are terrazzo insitu i restored them to there original condition, they had the usual signs of wear and tear for 20 years old.

Next is the back stairs i lifted the old quarry tiles and put new red terrazzo tiles down and polished them.

good job im patient

right if a mod could delete previous posts i would appreciate it,just so im not clogging up thread.
right,bathroom,4 different tiles,3 different colour grouts,gray in shower,ivory on gray tiles and charcoal on all black.
i did the dry lining and tiling,a plumber fitted all fixtures and fittings.
customer supplied tiles and adhesive(white webber,long time setting,i kid you not),the tile shop advised the adhisive.
must admit,nice tiles though
ps,i can't seem to get on to 2nd page on my laptop,on my iphone i can,weird

Okay, to make the numbers up I'll enter yet another travertine bathroom that I completed today .

This is a small bathroom but was loads of fun as the customer was very "particular" and wanted all external edges profiled. Unfortunately, I've just realised that I did not get any pics of the tiles around the the door frame, but the customer did not want any architrave so the edges were all profiled too. Random bond, 60 x 30 & 45 x 30 - loads of fun .

Fingers crossed this sends as computers and downloading is not my greatest subject.
A job i've just completed on a large exstension.
The floor is random and the same style runs through all five bathrooms/en suite as does the wall tiles.
Though they wanted a subtle difference between them and the use of the borders create that.
All the edges around the top of the bath and windersills were softened and honed.
The floor was also tiled in Jasmine kerapoxy and some sharp eyes may notice in the odd close up shot i've yet still to silicone.
Probably would look better with all the screens,showers,etc in but the plumber wasn't due till a week after.
Great doing stone work when the weathers fine with and everything can be set up well outside.
Hope you enjoy
Kev

Hi peeps

Im just sneaking in pics of part of a large job Ive just finished. Its an Ice Fountain thats in a Spa, including steam room, and salt grotto etc. Its something different.
The mosaics are 20 x 20 mesh backed glass, and grouted with Kerapoxy. I enjoyed doing it and doing the underneath bit was interesting, it was the most comfy way I could do it without doing my back in!!

cheers

voting now open!!!

[GC-Terrazzo]

Kaharrison9 gets my vote :-)

[Bri]

As has already been discussed, I love stone work and I love to see profiling, gets my vote everytime, so much skill involved and such a huge skill that is unrecognised.

[Dave]

Well. i am one for the true skill.. that mosaic work is tedious and very skilled...

[MissTiler]

tough choice as always, but one just edged it for me. Good luck peeps.
