Default These quarry tiles are a bit chunky

Well, somewhat chunkier than I expected. Are they normally that thick (about
20mm)?

They do come up *very* easily with an SDS and a cranked wide chisel. Easier
than the bl**dy worktop came out - that was well and truely wedged between
the wall and the airing cupboard.

Generally 'twas a good day at the Bungalow - got 8 hours straight in today,
brought all the right tools down, no faffing. Got the rest of the kitchen
ripped out and saved the better cupboards for re-use somewhere else:

Bit in the middle is my new workbench

Love the original decor(!):

And curses to that gas pipe - right where a new wall is going. Didn't expect
it to meander round the left hand wall. Looks like I'll be getting into gas
a bit sooner than expected.

I have a gas question brewing, but I'm off the read the gas FAQ again, then
I'll ask it...

Cheers

Don't throw the quarry tiles away, they are worth 50p each at the
salvage yard.
