Well on your way Frank

Are you having curry cooking withdrawals or are you managing to do a bit.
You inspired me into a little refurb myself.
I decided renew a sink surround/worktop and tiles, all went well until I bought the new tiles and thought to myself,
I won't buy any adhesive as there's a big tub somewhere in the shed.
O.K. Ripped all the old tiles off, patch plastered the walls, next day, prep and did the tiling, great I really enjoy tiling.
Next day, what a bummer, half the tiles were lying about and the rest just came away with a touch.
Lesson learnt, use fresh adhesive every time! Still I enjoyed tiling the whole thing again and I thought I was making Chapatti for a minute, when I was mixing the grout. LoL. ;D
Looking around Kitchen places for two new large spice cabinets to finish the refurb.
Keep us posted on your progress Frank
