The Mansion!!

[MICK the Tiler]

Just thought I'd post a couple of pics of the MANSION I'm working on at the moment. The size is 1200m2 or about 12000 square feet so not the biggest home I've worked on. It is open plan design and right on the Brisbane river.

The tiles Dave are 600x300 Charcoal coloured porcelain In 'Matte' for floors. 100x600 White rectified edge ceramic for wall tiles in 'Gloss'

The exceptions are the powder room and main ensuite which will have the same wall tiles but the floors will be 600x600 polished black marble.

Cheers Mick

Ok I have at last a bit of an update on "The Mansion"

Since the weather has been fine and sunny the last week or so I've been working outdoors on the pool area, but as luck would have it I managed to delete the photos of the pool tiles somehow so I'll have to take a few more latter in the week.

In the meantime I've managed to get some work done indoors during the wet weather there not finished yet as I'm waiting on stone and stone benchtops as well. There has been a large list of problems thus far and I'm working my way through them as they crop up.

The pics below are of the powder room with its marble floor wich will need to be honed as the client hates the polished look. I'm also waiting on some stone slabs for the rear wall as well.

The laundry is yet to be completed due to lack of stone benchtops

And lastly the main bathroom I've made a start in here with the floor laid but yet to be grouted and some of the walls have been laid in 600x100 tiles.

On to the pics

The 1st 4 phots show the powder room marble floor and the grouted 600x100 tiles showing some nice reflection through the window. very hard to get right with this much light shining in on the tiles so it had to be spot on.

The next 4 photos show some of the walls tiled in the laundry the sink vanity without the stone benchtop is holding me up in here. The floor is finished but too dirty at the moment for a good photo. BLOODY!! Plumbers, sparkys and Cabinetmakers. They think there Mother works on site to clean up after them.

And finally the last 5 pics are of the main bathroom walls and floor tiles are 600x100 on the walls and 600x300 on the floor all rectified edged and the floors are porcelain.

Hi Clays,

Not all homes are made of wood, this one has alot of timber work the frame is timber, as well as most of the finishing trim, but we do make 'em out of brick too and concrete but it's not as popular down here maybe cost has alot to do with it.

So It's Friday night down here and It's time for an update. I've been really busy on the MANSION this week and managed to get 95% of the pool finished. The tiles are 20x20 black glass by bisazza with midnight black glitter epoxy grout by laticrete (Spectralock)

Also got the Main bathroom walls and floor done the floor is grouted and the walls are siliconed and just need grout. I'm still waiting for my stone slabs for the vanity and utility shelf so I can complete it 100%. The bath also needs to be installed, but that's another story.

So enjoy the pics
