I noticed a couple of weeks ago that there were a couple of loose tiles in my bathroom. So I thought no problem just pull them off clean them up and put them back , simple really. But thats where I went wrong thinking anything in my house would be simple....I took off the first one no problem, on the second the top left corner was a little stuck so I pulled a little harder. Then Crash the whole lot wall Tiles, Plaster and everything else came down and filled the bathroom. What I discovered was that everything was rotten with damp and it was crumbling away and the bathroom was wrecked. So because I live in a rented council house I called the maintenance department only to get told there is nothing they can do for at least a month because there crews are too busy and we will have to wait. Anyway cutting a long story short I told them to F__k Off and would do it my self and send them the bill... So here is some picks of the disaster zone before and after... There is 3 different types of Tiles because money is very tight at the moment, So I trawled round all the local Tile shops and bought up all the end of line sale stock so it only cost me £75:00 for all the tiles to do the whole bathroom.. But I think it looks ok and the Mrs is happy so its all good.. But with being at work as well it has been a Bloody long 2 weeks and I need a rest.... azzkikr, Onyx, eidolonFIRE and 2 others 5 Awards

I don't mind laying tile as long as I don't have to buy her dinner . . .lol J/K That's the way I shop for tile, if you can find a good looking tile at a store that sells close outs or overstock that's the way to buy it Its a good feeling to complete a job like that and sit back and say "oh hell yes I nailed it" WTG! baldie 1 Awards
