TILING THE TOILET FLOOR

Floor nice and clean ready for tiles.

Nice complicated corners.

Dry fit first two rows.

Now remove and spread adhesive and  level with serrated tool.

Looking good the first two rows.

Add the 4mm spacers for a uniform gap.

Forth row down.

Fifth row down with spacers fitted.

Sixth row with complicated corner piece. 

Now for the shaping around the pedestal.

Row fitted nice curricular fit.

Finished job but for the grouting.

The Idea

The area to put the new building

First move the Oil tank.....

Break the ten inch thick slab

Clear the ground which includes the turf.




















Lower the ground to the desired depth  and Level. mark out the 13' Pentagon shape.

I managed to fill three skips with topsoil.

Now mark out where the posts are going on the Pentagon.

 Using fast setting post creet set Post One... Two and so on till all six are in place.Stiffen and hold vertically level until cement has cured.




All posts in and solid as bed rock.

Lay out the outside of the Pentagonal floor then I can string line to find the true center.






A Pentagonal collar 12" in diameter has been made to bolt the 12 floor 3 x 4s to at the center to add strength.

Also we can use this center space as it will be the driest  place to store the electrics.





The Pentagonal collar at the center sits on an old paving slab, this is not going to sag.

Start to fill in the deck boards one quadrant at a time. Lay out the cut deck boards before screwing down as if you remove the screws later to adjust they lift part of the board and split. not nice!

















At the front on both sides I decided toadd small balcony to utilise more of the surrounding ground.













































Floor finished I am so glad l used the Herringbone design although it was very taxing to do it looks great.



















Now start on the roof brassing
