Good effort matey, i take it it wasn't paper faced mosiac, mind you they could fill the pool and the paper would remove itself, i hate that stuff!!!!!

Thanks mate, it was original style,a very nice blend of mosaic , i used to like the old paper faced Bissazza at least you could get great tile addy contact, we used to fix them with white cement then,the key thing when using them is to wash the glue off the tile face before grouting , lol that used to catch loads of people out !!! :hurray:

And to make sure the border has been turned round the same way as all the others before you fix...doh:mad2:

92m2 in total Neal , its the detail that slows you down like step units, i can fire the meterage on very easily as i have been doing it so long ( trying not to sound cocky ) but i think i could fix it blindfold ( oh no i think i might try this lol ) & my back was aching from carriing big tubs of addy down a ladder from the other pool with the movable floor i need a young lad to help me i think ( getting to old for this )........

Jonny on a gated estate in Eaton park ,quite deep in to the estate,very very big fancy houses all gated off, a millionaires collective,.
Dave no mate he has been in the Navy for 7 months now ,we had a great day out at his passing out (so proud of him ) so been struggling on on my own, but some of these jobs that are coming - in are big and need at least two guys, but when you work away you have to factor -in accommodation /subsistence which can stack -up in London !!
