The first of the kitchen tiles were laid today. We hope that all the tiles will down in the kitchen by the end of the week.
It took a couple of hours to work out the best layout for the tiles, but once we start, the tiles go down very quickly.
On a less negative note, we believe that one of the three granite bowls are on their way from Spain. Unfortunately, two of them had overflows fitted 40mm from the bottom of the sink. This is no good for us as you couldn’t even stand a mug up in the sink because the overflow was so low.
With any luck, the one sink without the overflow will allow us to get the island worksurface installed towards the end of the week – hopefully, on Saturday. Godness knows when the other sinks will appear.
The first of the tiles are going down on the kitchen floor. It took John a couple of hours to work out the best way of laying the tiles.
Using a laser to lay the tiles. This ensures that the tiles are perfectly lined up.
End of day 1 and we now have a square of tiles right around the island unit. This is the quick bit. Next are the cut tiless that go around the edge of the kitchen. However, tomorrow it will be possible to walk on these tiles to access all of the kitchen.
