Interior showroom - Construction well underway

One of our guys a couple of month back, this is what happens when a hinged manhole cover drops, and he had his toe capped boots ON !.

The cap flexed and broke two toes, would of rubbed them out if he had trainers on




If that lad holding the stonework for LSP was a foot bigger i would go round and bollock him myself :;):

Believe this is now the time that myself and Sean start the lectures. We wont but remember as an employer you have a care of duty towards your employees. Accidents happen but its up to the employer to minimise these risks.

nice work
what is the advantage to using such big pieces apart from aesthetics?
i wont mention the ox guys lack of toe tectors
that slab must have weighed 130kg?
sore toe :;):

It is purely for aesthetics Tony. We've invested quite a bit in machinery for the bespoke side of the business and we need to display what we can do. 95% of our clients would never have a piece of stone like that in their houses, same goes with the bath and the shower tray. But it demonstrates to all customers that pretty much anything is possible from stone.

A good point to remember with solid surfaces in shower enclosures is the lack of crevices for mould growth and leaks. The only other way to (almost) guarantee a neat waterproof and mould free joint would be epoxy grout, which is like snot mixed with gum on a good day. :laugh: :laugh:

We have finally managed to put in the second big slab of travertine, Thought I would post it as a video this time so you could see how long it took in real time. It took a lot longer this time.




Showroom is all finished now. We just need to add a few accesorries in to brighten it up a bit

nice work steve
would a window fitters sucker lift not have been easier?
also window packers are ideal when trying to gain 1-3 mm on the deck
lovely

Cheers Tony.

I think in hindsight a windowsucker or 2 would have helped. It was a bit of a ball ache getting the second big slab in as I am sure you can see from the video.

The big slab got a couple of chips on the bottom edge.

Luckily these can be repaired pretty easily
