tiling using grid

first off i started by placing on my ppe
steel boots- protect from falling objects
goggles- from dust going into eyes
gloves - to protect from reactions or sharp corners

secondly i started by fetching all the equipment that i would be using before starting,
i then began by marking out a centre point in the middle of the bay this is a very important part "planning" because if my markings was off my a few mm it would increase by everyrow of tiles.
i then began marking out the bay soo it looks like a chess board "the tilers would fit in the squares and if they was out of place i would see by looking at the markings.
i then fixed a tile batten to the plasterboard soo the tiles had somewhere to rest on, after finsihing this i started placing tile adhesive onto the wall and placing standard glazed tiles. after finishing tiling half of the side bay i cleaned up the tiles to make them shine and give a better finish i cleaned up my area.

painting

firstly to start thye day i started by putting on my ppe boots gloves and boots to protect my skin and feet from falling objects and reactions to the paint that you may have,
i then started by getting the equipment that i would be using through the whole day
paint,brush,paint tray,kettel plus other that i will mention later on in the blog :)
i began by miscoating the wall in white to show any inperfections
i them began decanding the paint into a paint tray "magnolio"  then i started to cutting in with a 1" brush and then used a roller to put on the rest making sure it was a nice even coat this only took a few minutes if i didnt cut in this would have tooken much longer as a roller cannot get into the corners aswell as a brush.
