After all that work, I hope you took Graham out for supper so he didn't have to cook or wash dishes.

Darn it, I wish I had read this earlier, I had a huge casserole in the oven. Bet the house is sparkling now. Sit back and relax and enjoy the fruits of your labours. Friday night too.

Friday! I am on the coffee, I am having a time out from alcohol, haven't had a drink in 6 weeks. I like to have a break once in a while. Graham.

Just when I decide that my alcohol consumption is so trivial that I might as well "come out" as Tea-Total, a new report tells me that men who drink alcohol every day reduce their chance of heart attacks by xx%, and those who drink most gain the biggest improvement. Of course it doesn't do much for the liver and other organs...

When I had new vinyl floor covering in my kitchen I got it from a small local firm who laid it for me. They are better at shifting white goods around to get the floor covering under than I ever was. The cost was trivial. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply

I highly recommend that either kind of tile be pressed in place with a heavy steel roller immediately after installation. Failure to do so can result in tiles moving, allowing cracks to form between them.

I think they're called digestive crackers in Europe and Britain. A cookie-like square cracker named after a health food proponent. The base of s'mores, or eaten with milk for a breakfast cereal. Toci

The skirting boards should be removed before the tile is laid. It can be repainted before it's reinstalled.

That sounds like a wise choice. That way you don't have to worry about paint on the new tiles.
