A couple of little bathroom tiling projects this week. One on the left, a repeating square patterned tile. The one of the right a floorboard effect longer and narrowed tile. Both underlaid with a latex flexible adhesive onto ply. Quick drying so no messing about.

Putting up some new light fittings this week. The one you cant see is a retractable light sitting over the dining table for posh dinners and late night board games, I'm guessing.

Nice job this week restoring some original floorboards. The floor overhangs a bay window which was causing the gaps to be very draughty. This meant filling all the gaps and securing the boards before sanding them down and varnishing.  Used a activated wood filler, and ronseal diamond hard satin finish varnish, X3 coats. Important to use the right brush on this one and light sand between each coat.
