    All run of the mill tiling jobs right up to the holidays, but have a pool surround to rip-out and replace straight after the break and the customer really wants me to do it before Xmas, but it's physically impossible, no matter how much money they offer....

    Well Dave - I just finished my last bathroom today and tomorrow its an early morning business flight off to Barcelona for 5 days.
    I've been asked to inspect some mosaic work by a bloke called Gaudi - Spanish I think, so no doubt it will be as rough as a badgers backside. However its meant to be pretty old and colourful so I'll take the phone camera and show you the state of affairs.
    Oh by the way, part of team timeless - Mrs timeless - is also going (something to do with marketing ideas) so as usual it's all work!

    Only one week till the big man in red day when we get back so just enough time to chill out, spend some home time in the studio and crack on with a bit of 'proper' mosaic work.
    2011 - seems to be starting well - 7 bathrooms for a local company spaced over the first month so that should give us about 3 weeks work.

    Dave -you and your family have a GOOD XMAS and thanks for all the contacts you have passed our way

    I'm back to a renovation tomorrow, back hallway floor, utility floor, bathroom floor,skirted, marble handmade 90 degree windowboard and bath surround all to do. Shower after Christmas as wall needs finished by plumbers. After that I have a 80 m2 floor area in 60x60 porcelain, but they might not want all done by Christmas which suits me. Other wee bits to squeeze in before the break for some spending money, lol

    Finishing off a job this week. then starting next week for an interior designer, I have a very large bathroom to do in a mixture of limestone and pebbles and glass mosaics, the design of it is too have pathways going threw the floor areas leading onto a beech design, (unless the design has changed again) cant give too much away as i will post piccies at a later date but it should be something a bit different! Then theres the kitchen and stairs leading down to the basement again in limestone with alot off bull noseing going on here this should be quite good too. and then when the weather gets better im going back to do the outside areas which all i know at the moment is in stone and it has to have a wow factor! I havent seen the latest design yet for this area as this has changed too but the last one was looking fab.
