Turned out lovely Jonny. Some beautiful work you do, would love to give you a hand for minimum wage one day a week. :drool5:
Quick question though: how come you're always able to get back to houses after they're completed and funished? Do you request to come back to take pictures or just snagging/sealing etc?
this job I had to do the first part on upper level so kitchen could go in. Still didnt get to seal or grout it though because terracotta took three weeks to dry and client wanted to move in straight away.
so i covered with building paper and let floor dry under paper whilst builder knocked through to lower level which was the original kitchen.
we then fixed that area and covered with building paper again whilst chippy /builder/painter did their work.
we come back to first seal and grout and need to leave sand/cement to dry for another week. During this time furniture gets moved back in , so we have to move it around as we seal.
On other jobs on this thread i have returned in some instances at end to take photos for new web site im creating.
I work with alot of very porous stones quite often from england and they can take weeks to dry, so in most cases we cover with building felt after fixing and then come back right at end to grout and seal, which is why you see on a couple of jotm entries i have submitted the near finished article.
this method can be problematic when someone spills something that goes through the paper and no one takes the blame.
many times because they are quite big jobs the floor could be covered for 4 -5 months and then you also hav to be careful about letting it breath with heating etcc
nice work
