By no means my nicest work,

800*800 shower working from outside of it I can only just reach the far corners. It's a stretch




I'm between what's quicker, little dab of filler Vs near kill myself to reach the edge.


Ive done enough to know what will paint and what won't.

I'm interested to know why? What happened that you found yourself having to plaster the upper rear and sides of a tiled shower area complete with an installed shower door?

Haha well.........

The panels had been planned to go floor to ceiling, this was impossible due to door constraints. I should have clocked it.

Issue being we needed the shower completed, unfortunately our other shower tray had a tile droped into it causing it to split.



Overall its been a **** show.

A whole day overtime on this one. 6 days on the tiling.

Odd size tiles that don't divide well.
Extremely brittle. Won't dry cut so every cut on the bridge saw.
Only have to look at them for them to chip. Even pulling out a tight spacers did it for them.

And the plasterer obviously didn't have a level straightedge or square just to make a difficult job harder.
Only 2 full tiles. Everything else is cuts

Why not whip the door off?

Nice job, I don't have the patience for tiling
but why didn't they have that ceiling skimmed

 

[Sergei Slovenija]

I warned the guys not to trap the tip of the hose next to the zipper of their pants.

It is done. The body of the original exhaust silencer is rotten. Used a stainless chimney. End fittings are glued with 2K polyester putty.

Insurance job. They don't want to spend their own money. That's why I have cheap crappy tiles

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

@mtt.tr probably best he didn't do the ceiling tbh.

Here's some choice bits.

Last pic had to work top down. Huge vertical belly in the wall.

Good grief,

This is what happens when people stop using Darbys and claim they can plaster by eye

He said 3 to 4 days and was done in two. Left all his floor protection down covered in mud for me to clean up too. Be having a word with the money man. Not the first time I've struggled with his ****e

Just priced up a media wall for the money man. Told him I've specced for MDF as the plasterer is crap and it needs tight tolerances.

I don't miss it at all.


I miss timber framing but not this nonsense and carryon

Money's very good. Extra work is billed and paid without dispute and domestic work seems to be on the decline with people's money woes.

I get a nice bit of variety for the most and these help fill up big chunks in the diary

That would be me with my own kitchen. Anywhere near Milton Keynes?

 

[Kram]

I wasnt haply with the crumbly mortar, cracked cement and big loose chunks exposing several layers of DPC so, before I go further I gave it a good clean, vacuum, primed in sbr and then used up an old 4kg bag of leveller. It wont be seen, quite happy as I spent only 30 minutes on it!

 

[Blobber]

Today I made warmth, been a bit slow on getting stuff broken down this year as its been so mild, got about 8 more like that to do yet!
