    Default 1st Job...... Six Months Later..... Never Again!!!

    Hi All

    After six months I've finally finished my... Cloakroom - What a thicking job

    I must admit, as much as I hated (nearly) ever step I'm quite pleased with the final outcome.

    To that end I like to thank all those that come on here to help other... like myself

    I've added some photos (not all tiling) but I thought you might like to see the job start to finish.

    Regards
    Aspesim

    PS: All trim around window was marked and cut freehand
    PPS: The window was also replaced but I don't have photos, but I now have a window that opens
    PPPS: See you all next year!!!

    The job looks great - well done!

    1. Check out the "Job of the month" threads and get it entered.
    2. This isn't a negative but I would have ensured the copper pipes were encased in a hessian sleeve prior to embedding them into the blocks.

    PMSL Bri, my ensuite was stripped out beginning of August 2010. I hope to get a few tiles on during the Xmas break. I reckon I may have the room finished by Xmas 2012. My wife seems to be rather understanding......(well she's given up nagging anyway).

    Hi All

    Thank you all for all the great and encouraging comments it really means a lot to me.
    Daz: I had to laugh at your comment! Which month should I enter April, May’s, June, July August, September or October's, besides I did go onto that forum not to enter just to put my photos on for other to see but after reading the requirements you need photo evidence of a dated newspaper, which I don't have that’s why I posted them here.

    Not to worry though as I said before I’m really chuffed with the outcome but having your comments makes me proud.

    Next job? Main bathroom 2012 (if I decide to take it on).

    Thanks U Guys
    Simon.

    Great looking project. I love looking at photo projects like this. Result looks worth all the effort.

    And nice looking "Holes" too where the soil stack exits the tile, and the feed comes through. Plus the anchor bolt holes.
    very neat and tidy !
