    Default Almost, better than being paid!!!

    I got a call, from a guy i did a job for couple of weeks ago. He was working away when i did his new shower room/toilet. 35m2 walls, 9m2 floor. He wanted to tell me what a great job i did, how happy he was with it, how proffesional it was. Really makes you want to go to your next job, just as well, because he wants me to back, to do his kitchen & upstairs toilet.

    Nice one Eddie, you cant measure how pleasing it is that someone has taken the time to contact you and tell you what a good job you've done, amazing isnt it, how happy that two minute phone call can make you.

    Any Pics?

    It still has to have the new ceiling fitted, thats why there is a big gap, at the top of the wall, in the wee toilet area.

    A new false ceiling, was to be fitted. The joiner wanted a gap left at the top of the tiles.

    The white thing, is the switch for the shower cubicle, one of the ones with steam, radio, built in phone, more water nozzles than i can count.

    the dark tiles are 500mm/300mm, with grooves cut into them for grout.
