Pocster Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 As the self proclaimed Totally Incredible Tiler - with loads of experience; I never thought of this … I use the Rubi system ; clips and wedges - it’s ace . But at a days end ( got 100 m sq floor to do ) what should I do with the last exposed clips ? What I mean is ; next day they’ll be gone off and therefore can’t move to level with the next new freshly laid tile . Previously I just left them and they become that level as they are fixed . But sat here thinking ; I thought I should ask . It’s called doing a @Thorfun I.e ask question avoids doing work 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Don’t put the last clips in and/or clean out some of the adhesive to allow the clips to move or be installed at the next session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no clips on ‘end of day ‘ ? I could cut the next day clip so its base fits between yesterdays tile and todays ( movable tile ) . Not sure that gives a different result to just leaving the clip in from the day before though . I might be over thinking this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ought to have heard the bleating.... It’s the temporary kitchen … The 65 boxes of “ important stuff we can’t throw away “ The 160kg fridge/freezer The massive mame arcade unit The dining table and eight chairs The tools for the build And now ; the 100 sq m of tiles at nearly 3tonnes I moved Apart from that ; it’s empty 😢🙄 Edited August 2, 2023 by Pocster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I still wince at the moment ( a year ago) I lost my temper and threw away stuff '.... we can't throw away ...' Not a peep out of anyone. If it ever gets to that I'll just say that I might have, but that I was in such pain - from my hip - that I couldn't remember. And go down the pub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Picture is worth a thousand words @ToughButterCup . The orange on the floor to the left is the decoupling mat . So I can tile maybe 2 rows before I swear again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ; stuff has gone missing aka bin for certain . But occasionally SWMBO says “ have you seen the ‘x’ ?” . Naturally I say no but think “ (expletive deleted) I threw that away ! “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 If I find I'm constantly moving other people's never-been-used-in-a-million-years stuff, I now tell them that it's been put on Death Row. Photograph it and pin that on the notice board. The photo soon gets covered with other lists and stuff. They've got 6 months to move it. I allow one Appeal, but if it's still there a year after the Death Sentence .... it's gone. To date, not one complaint. They just buy other useless stuff I need to find storage for. Why is that a bloke's job eh? Why? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
