Some tiles for the deck

After the waterproofing membrane had dried, it was time to set out for the tiles. It looks like I’ll need about 7m of tiles. Lucky they had some grey ones at the tiles shop. When Charmaine got home she liked them, so I did OK.

Now to workout where the tiles are going to go. So after laying a row down the middle I could start marking out for the full tile to be glued in first.

After marking out the area for the full tiles and mixing up some glue< it’s time to through some tiles down on the main floor.

It’s been a long time, but I think I still know how to tile, just. So all I have to do now is all the cut’s after marking each tile.

The side tiles will be all different as the deck slops down to the back so the water doesn’t pool up and then we would have a fish pond.

Edge tile trim cut to shape, now to cut them with only two tiles left.

Well I need to make a tile fit this space, one on earth side. The problem is I’ve only two tiles left so let’s hope I don’t stuff up. Also I’ll have to fill around the top of the tiles were the old air-con cover’s use to go.

After cutting the 50X50mm angle to length and fitting in place with Sikaflex. The next job was to paint the fiberglass canopy with a heat reflecting poly paint that also is a waterproofing.

The only bad thing about finishing this job is now we will have to move out of the shed. A big thanks to the Toowoomba Showgrounds for letting us use the shed to fix the leak.
