Help!: Advice needed badly

[Colour Republic]

I've made a school boy error!!!

I'm currently tiling through a kitchen diner with 300x300 porcs, even though many tiles are bowed ( I know on such small tiles! ) all has been going fairly well up until just now.

I've just completed the kitchen section and just broke through into the diner so thought it's a good place to stop and have a break, which is where my problem has become apparent... I've left the kettle on the other side of the kitchen!! I'm full of rage with my stupidity and I'm really at a loss what to do???

Do I go and get the kettle and risk ripping the section I've just done, or simply go home and put it down to just one of those days?

You can not continue...if you do you could have serious problems. You must stop and go home and have a brew now!!!

It's just got a whole lot worse! My fags are over there too :cry:

[GirlRacerRed]

can you get out of the diner via another exit? if so, simply put it down to experience, go to the nearest coffee shop that does takeaway tea and coffee, get the strongest of whichever you prefer, pop into the newsagents and buy another packet of fags and just get on with the job.

it's not the end of the world until October apparently. so get a grip Rob!

Thanks all, I think I've sussed it

Next door has a fairly small 3 year old, I'm fairly sure I can hook the back of his shirt on the end of the broom handle then hoist him over the tiles and safely on to the worktops, not quite so sure how I'm going to retrieve him but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Now I just have to wait until the mother leaves him unattented in the garden

oh this could be good

[enduro]

Dont forget the biscuit barrel...you will need to get that too!!

and your lighter, you really don't want to forget that, donut! But letting that toddler handle fags and a lighter, well, be prepared for him demanding a fag break mid-air!

i am so so sick of wont to be tilers that make such silly errors a proper tiler would have set up the coffee station from the get go. maybe you should stick to sploshing paint around and leave the coffee making to the professionals.

I'm fully ashamed and my inexperience how shone through, this game is a lot harder than it looks and you tilers really don't get the recognition you deserve.

On the plus side I can't get Alex back for another 4 hours but it turns out he makes a bloody good cuppa

You can't go home anyway....your keys are beside the kettle

Rob, nail some finish nails into short planks on 30 cm centers, and then start placing them so the nails go into the grout joints. Go across these walkboards and retrieve your essentials.

Retrieved boy and essentials ... Anybody know how to repair UFH without lifting tiles? Many thanks in advance

[user123]

NO way!! maybe you can attach some wires to the UFH and stick them into some sockets either end? If you push them in with a screwdriver, things should heat up nicely...

drink a red bull! gives u a wings and u can fly over to get your fags

Rob don't beat yourself up about this basic mistake, after 43yrs I have still had cause to rig up some contraption to retrieve my van keys from a worktop or cill in the far corner of the room

MG this is a local dog in Brighton, in fact he's just got an asbo for knocking a couple of people over, so he's been banned from skateboarding in town

[user123]

He's been banned?? Oh for God's sake... what a character!

[deanotile]

i think we all need one of these in the tool box

Tell your fags to come out of the closet and on their way out grab everything you left on the stove.
