elite gold limestone floor tiles by london stone been down 2 months and still looking mint
had the engineer out today and we have major structural problems in the latest job built 10 years and 3 months ago around a timber frame
the builders used steels but they rested them on the timber frames :O
so now we have to put in 205 by 205 45kg goal posts
makes it a challenge
also they had a picture of the original roofer
and the funny thing is i know the guy

Regarding the cement tone it's all about cost with me ol man on that job I think we've used near on 120 bags of cement due to knocking up 7 tonnes in the mixer for the footing for the main wall then 5 tonnes went into the raft all in mixer due to access and length of garden.lutonlagerlout wrote:no grilling here
what is that hole in the wall for?
and i would have thought that a firm of your calibre would have moved on to cement in plastic bags by now?
pennies extra but saves a load of grief
looks like a nice job indeed

my dad used to think like that but over a year you lose so much cement to moisture and poor storage
the plastic bags you just stack up any place you like
no need to worry about moisture
I can see both sides but its like my old man moaning that bulk bags of building sand have gone up by £2 a tonne?
I'm like wtf?

He has found that its cheapest in b&q so that's where it comes from doesn't matter our main supplier delivers for free or that it takes him an hour to drive to b&q and back and wait for three monkeys to bring out 40 bags they nearly have to shut down the store to organise a fork lift and two so called banksman ???
