    Nothing special , i do have a nice floor coming up soon.
    I tiled a kitchen down on a job i have been doing in Cornwall which i thought was very brave of the elderly clients, but i liked it.

    Got a bathroom I've started but client is a fireman and can only have me & plumber in when he's off work.......... Done two walls tuesday and going back next week to finish, then back again for the floor....I don't half get them!!!

    And to finish off mosaic job I started today but ran out off sheets!

    Plumber has two other bathrooms in line for me, I don't know when.

    Had lots of phone calls, but their the ones clients are fishing for the cheapest price, even though I've been recommended!

    Onwards & upwards...................

    I think it's picked up...really do..

    About a month ahead now......i'm just interested to see if anybody is working with anything nice for a change to the norm...but if you are busy then thats a good sign...

    I have had alot of stone jobs lately....anybody else find that stone is getting more and more popular....maybe coz prices are better on stone than it used to be....

    I have just started getting stone at a place in shildon not far from me called perfect home and garden...excellent quality stone...makes a change from some of the crap that a few new suppliers are trying to sell as first grades...

    I've got a couple of outside steps to do (10m2 each).......nightmare but great chance to enjoy the sunny weather!!

    Got a cappacino marble floor and bog to do, limestone kitchen floor with trav backsplash, porcelain swimming pool surround and a couple of plain old bathrooms.

    I've seen a lot more stone work over the last couple of months, as you say Dave....it's becoming more affordable.

    Yes - depends what I can get hold of at special rates (i.e. free from work) but will probably be Tremco ES3000, Merlin Barrier coat or Laybond.

    You can tell it was in the north east because of the sun gently cascading through the closed windows (to keep out the wind).
