There's nothing wrong with wearing a nice dress now and again. Especially a nice low cut number. with sequins. And anyway, I think anybody would agrre that a bit of lippy and some blush can improve any face. Although I find suspenders can chaff a little... |

All done and done
Cheers for the advice, had a feeling it would have been you two ladies (and possibly the third, lady leon(a) ) There ended up only being 2 little gaps for grouting. all the other joins were between wall and flat surface and then flat surface and bath so used silicone for those. Contrary to you ladies I love silicone sealant - am a dab hand at applying it and never have any issues Pheebs, I'd love to invest in all of that stuff and do a proper job around the whole bathroom but as it's not my house and I won't get paid back for any tools or time I really cant be bothered to spend too much time on it. This was just a task that was easier for me to do myself and definitely needed doing. I'll just let the agents know about the current problems and then it's theirs to deal with when I move out. Currently looking at places to buy for the future - scary stuff! Now I'll let you two get back to your flirting!

SW - Ahhh thought you might be a bit cheeky and be able to claim back for a few squid on the tools Obviously didn't know the extent of the job! I still vote grout though! Hahaha! You're a dab with silicone? Go you! Please can I borrow your expertise the next time I use it?! (UGH.. this will be next week sealing up below kitchen tiles. UGH UGH UGH.) Maybe because you're a man you're able to handle sticky uncontrollable fluids better. Glad you got it all sorted! |

Ice cold hands and fairy liquid, that's the best solution for silicone sealant
Also masking tape works really well to protect surfaces but you still have to smooth the silicone down afterwards. Most people hate dealing with it, you've just gotta persevere till you get your technique

Squirt, wipe, get covered, curse, wipe, get sticky hands, curse, get in hair, curse, get on sides, curse, get on towel, holes appear, squirt more, curse, sticky towel causes mess on side, curse, pull off tape - it looks weird, wipe more, curse, get grumpy, try and wash hands, fail, shout obscenities, stomp off.
I have no patience with the stuff |
