@FrazHoehle 2nd go at Tiling looks like it was worth the pain. Walk away skint but with your head held high!

@pbplumber @theJeremyVine @GasManGod Petition signed. Stealing someone’s capability to feed their kids, pay their mortgage etc etc has become an everyday occurrence. Feels like you are screaming in to a void but I appreciate it nonetheless @pbplumber

@IrvineWelsh Saw a group get off the train in Marlow today. Dressed as Mario characters, first bit of sun in 6 months and zero care about tomorrow. Oh the possibilities

Little chevron floor completed as part of a full house renovation. #tilers might appreciate the set out, sometimes lady luck is on your side. #chevron #lifetiles #flooring #porcelain #woodedfect ⁦@ReedHarrisTiles⁩ ⁦@KerakollUK⁩

#delivery drivers have a hard job. No doubt it’s a living hell being lost, late, stuck in traffic, working to impossible schedules and being guided by a computer. But, throwing bottles and bottles of piss out on the track to my house is not acceptable human behaviour.

90msq of 20mm #exteriorporcelain grouted today with ⁦@KerakollUK⁩ #Fugabella Epoxy grout on this pool terrace. Remedial work to the pool to be completed next week. #tiler #Lifetiles ⁦@tilemasteradhes⁩

@FrazHoehle I put “focus” on my phone which lets anyone trying to contact me that I have notifications off. You can filter it so friends and family can still get you. Need to nit think of work all the time

@RedHerci @BrewDog It’s my birthday today and I haven’t received my beer…..

This #wetroom almost broke me. It’s a glass box so last weeks weather was tough. #porcelain is mirror finish so I was blinded by the sun. Just a bit more grout and silicone to do. Some pretty funky reflections though #Lifetiles #tiler

[Allan Cherrington @lifetiles___]

Absolutely brutal grouting this today. @MapeiUKLtd Volcanic sand on textured tiles. Felt like Krakatoa but was only Windsor. #Tiler #Lifetiles #lifelessons

[Allan Cherrington @lifetiles___]

Rescued a set of steps. Had to improvise with a shallow riser on to the patio which isn’t ideal but better than how it was left previously. #20mm #porcelain can catch you out if your not prepared. #Lifetiles #tiler #tiles supplied by ⁦@HyperionTileLtd⁩

One for my plumber friends. Would it be courteous to peel back the thin plastic just a wee bit before sealing it to the wall? Am I being moaning #tiler 😅

[Allan Cherrington @lifetiles___]

This was a tough one. For any #tiler seeing this they will understand the amount of work involved in what is ultimately a small #bathroom. Floating ceiling with fancy lights going in and I will be back to do some boxing. Death by 1000 cuts. #lifetiles #wetroom

[Allan Cherrington @lifetiles___]

This is a bathroom in a 400yr old house. By the time I’m done I won’t be far off that myself. Walls all over the place but trying to retain some character rather than fight it. #tiler #lifetiles #wetroom tiles from @mandarinstone adhesive @KerakollUK H40

Another shower room wrapped up. Next one is in a 400yr old house so the walls will probably be better than these were. #tiles from ⁦@Tileflair005⁩ materials ⁦@KerakollUK⁩ some underfloor heating from ⁦@ProTilerTools⁩

[Allan Cherrington @lifetiles___]

Tic tic boom. Another bathroom. Had a run of these. What happened to #naturalstone ? So much work in a #bathroom #tiler #Lifetiles #calacatta #porcelain ⁦@KerakollUK⁩ materials used throughout

[Allan Cherrington @lifetiles___]

@manproudman Wow! That’s going back a bit. Yes I am still in the area and happy to help

[Allan Cherrington @lifetiles___]

Family bathroom finished on one of my projects. I do the mastic on pretty much all my jobs now and I’m beginning to freak out less each time I do it. #tiler #lifetiles #masticman #porcelain #niche
