Sarah Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Argh So, hubby is flying to America first thing Saturday morning. I've bought a new bathroom suit and having that fitted on Monday, so now with his lordship buggering off and leaving me, i have to strip the bathroom - all tiles the lot! Measure research and buy new tiles, and buy all the extra bits like grout, edging strips etc all before Monday morning I'll be working from home for the week so trying to have conversations with customers should be interesting plus collecting the stepchild from work and taking her in the morning, cooking/cleaning/washing walking the dogs, making sure the tiles are fitted as i want them and things are done properly I really want next week over with ASAP! If all goes well next week hubby will be told he doesn't need to come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guinnessman Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 If you have any stud work or dry lined walls you can cheat. I pulled all the plasterboard from the walls and fitted new. £30 of new board saved days of hard labour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
