sorry posted wrong.
600 widths x random lengths.
worked out at approx 10.00 sq mts per day sticking and doing cuts.
got a fairly large dual rail overhead saw so cutting not really an issue.

wow! nice kitchen by the way. and what an huge cooking island!!!... 600 widths x random lengths are very nice! next week i start a jura limestone projekt bathroom and floors with 400 widths.
the floors look absolutely plane on the photos. can you tell me why do you choose the ditra? what adhesive do you taked? i think next projekt i try the kiesel MDM instead of the ardex x32

most difficult floor I ever done.
Underestimate by a week too.

nice and classic floor!

i finished my mondrian inspired toilet room. the red groat color was a long time not available. groating in diffrent colors was not easy. black and white groat color are retreat with renovation color.
i think its cool to do some graphics (union flag would be nice) with glass mosaik but the effort was pure rage.

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
