… every othee tiling job that I have to do would come out as well as this one, I would be as happy as Larry.
They set really nicely into the tiling cement yesterday and so this morning, first thing that I did was to grout the joints. And as you can see, it seems to have come out very well and I’m really pleased with this.
It looked even better at the end of the day when It had thoroughly dried and i brushed off all of the loose grouting and wiped it down with a damp cloth. As I said, I wish that all of my tiling would look like this when it’s finished.
So once that was out of the way I returned to the stairs. And now I have three treads all properly fitted and nailed in place. It took ages too as every length needs to be cut and shaped individually and some of these treads have 6 or 7 lengths in them, the ones that are going to be used as shelving. And a couple of lengths had to be cut lengthways too, one of them only 1.5 cms wide. but the circular saw saw to those. They needed filing and sanding down afterwards to make some nice smooth, straight edges.
I had to change a couple of rails too. I’m reshaping all of these to fit under the profile of the plasterboarding but with the chevrons, they are too deep and so foul the insulation. I’ve changed them for demi-chevrons.
So you see, I’ve not been idle at all today, even though I don’t have too much to show for it.
