    Default Rubbish day!

    I had a belter of a day on Monday and was hoping to get finished today but it all went horrible wrong.

    Only had a bath and radiator to swop and some really dodgy reveals to sort out redy for tiling.

    Radiator valves were the wrong ones and no waste for the bath, then couldnt find the taps.

    All sorted now for tomorrow but my day was pants.

    On top of allthat got home to find i have no power and EDF have given me a 17 KVA diesel genny which is thumoing away on my driveway and is doin gmy head in

    Rant over....

    Hope you all had a better day

    Heres to tomorrow

    Had a good day, thanks.
    Been doing a sandstone 3 tile pattern. Faithy saved the day last night for me by coming up with a pattern that the customer liked .

    Davesax has been helping me and worked like a trooper so we got loads of the monster slabs down.

    Happy days .

    Glad you got done in the end Scottley.

    my arms and buttocks are aching 'cos I scarified my front lawn with a leaf rake today to get all the moss out. Then me and little "pot foot" went to Asda (and I got some photies of the poster that broke his foot) and saw a box of evergreen moss killer for £8 so I've got it for next time
