Cbar Celtic were playing at 2.30pm in Junior Cup semi final so the aim was to go to that. I was over about 9am, goal was to get all remaining grouting done. Which I did!
Went out after the match with the lads, not used to it!

Should have stayed up!
Early rise 5.30am. wanted to get a got few hours working at the house because I was finishing @ 12pm as I wanted to watch United V Chelsea.
I managed to get the main bathroom upstairs walls grouted and then down to the wet room mosaic to grout and wash that,
Once I finished that I moved onto the Sun room and managed to get 3/4 of it done before I headed off to Castlebar to get some stuff and see if I could get the brushed stainless steel splashback for the island.
After the match I needed to get Siobhans car serviced and cleaned for the NCT. Also needed to change the plates on my own hearse and get the Focus tightened and service ready to be sold.

Hoodini disappears!
Fecker of a plumber not appeared after saying he would, what a pleb! I got up at 7.30 and went to Hursts to collect the sanitary ware, when we went looking it was not there!!
So a wasted journey. I decided to finish the tiling in the main bathroom upstairs, the 2 boxes were as slow as hell and the cuts on the slant of the ceiling.!! It was 11pm when I pulled out.

Plumber rings me!!! Shock horror!!
Plumber rang me today! Nearly crashed the car as this was first! To make it even more of a shock he wanted to send someone to the house to do some work!
So this changed my evening slightly, no training tonite. I had to get the floor in the bathroom upstairs tiled, a lot of pressure but it had to be done. What this meant was that the plumber would be able to install the sanitary ware in all bathrooms!
I had to get onto Wes in Hursts to make sure that they had the sanitary ware, so off to Cbar nice and early in the morning to make sure I get the stuff delivered to the house.

Match watching and tiling!
Aim was to get around the frame of the bath done and watch the Barca and Milan match!! Had to slant all the tiles outwards so that the water will run off. Again another task done.
The 2 boxes and the couple of slanted cuts to do and that is that.
Dad was over varnishing and he also gave the work top its first coat of stain.

Tiling towards the end!
Got up about 9, headed over and Vinny rang to say he was calling over, he was there about 1 hour and I eventually started to line out the walls.
With the 2 boxes on the walls it was a pain in the arse to end up with the right cuts.
I also had to removed the trims on the boxes as them walls were not plastered.
Managed to get 1 small wall and 3/4 of the big wall done as with the slants on the ceilings it takes a bit of trimming on the tiles.

Sun room tiling
Got up @ 8 but Dad called and as the papers were mad late he asked me to give him a hand. I was with him up about 10am, had to head out to Shanes to pick up some floor adhesive.
I managed to get to the house for 11am and got stuck into the sun rooms floor. It all went fairly handy and by the time herself and dad arrived over I had over 1/2 done.
I needed to get the metal trim to divide the timber and tile and house the timber flooring so Siobhan headed off to get it, came back with the wrong one and had to head over again!
They also reckoned that the underlay was the wrong one, so we may need to change it.
I checked all the tiles in the kitchen and took up the boost one. I then finished off the sun room and then started to put back down the tiles in the kitchen, a good days work.

Easter
We got off at 1pm, I had to get some stuff in Woodies. It was best to grout the walls before I started the floors, so I got them done first. I set out the floor of the bathroom and mixed up.
I decided to ensure each tile was level as it is the main bathroom and that the cuts on the edges and end would be even.
It toook me until near 12am but I got it all tiled. Now to grout that floor and put in the mosaic flooring around the wet area of the shower.
