Paul the tiler has done a great job today, getting the en suite almost finished. Two crises have appeared:
1) the floor tiles wont be in the shop until Friday, so Paul may not be able to lay them due to other job commitments. Maybe James can, but then again maybe we should wait until Paul is available. He will be back for the kitchen, and James can finish evrything else off as the wc is wall mounted, not on the floor.
2) the detail tiles are a different thickness to the wall tiles. This problem came up this morning while I was out shopping. After phone calls and initial huge disappointment as I really like the little glass tiles we chose, David resolved the issue as he had done this before. Apparently we need special double sided tape which offsets the glass tiles to the correct depth so we don't get the ridges. Thank goodness for that! You can see where the horizontal stripe of these tiles will go. Apparently, it isn't a problem in the shower where we have the vertical stripes as the tiles here are not quite so thick!
We're hoping that upstairs will soon be ready so we can get the new wood floor laid and move back in. James needs to finish off the shower room - this week, we hope, so we can start up there and work downwards as things get ready.
