nathan posted a discussionNew Building Techniques piloted on Golden Lane Estate
New building techniques piloted on Golden lane Estate, forget about old traditional tile laying techniques, now quarry tiles can be laid with a tube of mastic, silicone, rubber or any old thing that looks like it might stick something and a sealant gun, this is a very cheap and fast method of laying tiles, removes the need for skilled labour saves on time and comes with a guarantee of about 6 months if your lucky.What will they think of next? Laying bricks with porridge?MarvelousSee More
