My garden project - Tile Advice

[John Benton]

i was thinking of building -one !!! but one with a completely new way of approaching it instead of traditional ,( it would make millions if you could build a really cheap in-ground pool for the common people ......

Isn't that a pond Dave?

Looking good Bri

You can lay Rolawn all year round as long as there is no frost about.

Quality Lawn Turf from Rolawn: Medallion Turf

I have Rolawn Medallion grass and it is superb, I do most of my lawn work roundabout now. Scarify, aerate, top dressing, overseed with ornamental grass seed.

This is the result

[Mr Tiler]

you guys moan about having no work on.... look at that house lmao!

So 2 and a half years on, the wall isn't finished! However, the extension I've been threatening to do is out of the ground so, it'll all be getting done in one big job. I'd like to think we'll be somewhere near by summer time.

Is that a single storey @Bri or the double.

Double Mark, an extra 60 m2 in total, we needed more room and this was way cheaper than moving. I'm trying to project manage a fair bit of it as well as working! It's quite stressful at times!

Breaking through can be a dirty part of the work....

You're not kidding, I have found out that the worst people to deal with are scaffolders! Bloody hard work even getting a price from them!

Doing a full rewire in the house as well when the shell is up, that is the bit I'm pulling my hair out about, it's going to be a nightmare. I think moving out for a few weeks might be a good idea! Every utility is being relocated as well, water, gas, electric, BT line, moving the boiler! If I can get through that lot it'll be fine.

Have you chosen any tiles yet Bri?

Yep! Silver travertine for the ensuite walls and I'm actually going to have karndean on the floor downstairs, we're not having UFH and believe it or not, I actually prefer karndean/amtico to tiles on a floor.

We have Amtico in our hallway and I love it
