Now these photos were taken last year when i went back to do a porcelain bathroom for the customer - but this conservatory I originally tiled in 1991!
It seems to have that lived in feel you don't get with 'just finished' photos.

Hi John

Looks sweet! I know what you mean about the lived in look. I did a travertine floors years ago, When I went back later to visit with the customers, I was surprised to see that the floor has aged enough that it looked better than when it was new, kind of like an old leather couch getting a patina from long use.

John,

As your cleary well practiced in Viccy floors, all of which look absolutley spot on by the way, can you recommend a good supplier for the tiles, all the usual suppliers I use only seem to be able to get hold of a very limited number or ranges, and are ordering them in from someone else.

beautiful floor

[timeless john]

Jay - Its OK !
Dave and I go back months!!! - but steady on the 'old' bit as I can still 'git' down with the best of them -on the floor tiling of course.
From my records I did this job in JUNE 1991 - any chance of entering it in this months competition - mind you I don't think it would get even 2nd this time!

Oli - I'll PM you the details of tiles and costs but what you must realise is these are not ready made pieces and I cut 90% of the geometric designs from a range of over 26 colours available.

love your victorian work john! would love to learn to do it but i'm not the most patient person in the world,do you find it time consuming?

p.s - i was still in primary chool when you layed that floor lol

[jay]

just wondering the dog ///// did you stick him down to look closely at his eyes they say /you did this/

[hillhead]

nice to see we all have history,lol.

lovely job bud.

[doug boardley]

guess the dog is dead now tho

[timeless john]

No -But they've had 2 since I did the floor that had. This one was a puppy of 12 months. I just did my Barbara Woodhouse and said 'sit'.
Or was it that fast set flexible I used!.

love the floors think they look brilliant. Very interesting

[timeless john]

Thanks to Smithy153 and Chris for their PMs -hope the information helps.
It would be interesting if the geometric design work was covered as part of the training courses - or are they already?

Cool job mate. Just clocked this post. You can't do those floors after a night out hey?

[timeless john]

Dan - as you get older certain pleasures have to be rationed!
So when i spend a knight on the tiles it is generally working late to finish a geometric design!

[timeless john]

Your comments and pity are appreciated!
