B&Q Homefit
Saw a sign in B&Q today for their Homefit service, in the tiling section.
Floors or walls tiled 'from' £39 a sq/mtr 'subject to survey'. Sounds s bit pricy to me? http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/templa...stallation.jsp -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

But presumably is flat rate fee so the simple minded can measure the wall and work out the cost based on £39/m^2. Oh hang on, problem with that, the simple minded would have trouple with the maths... No doubt tiles and beadings etc is extra but adhesive included? -- Cheers Dave. |

FFS! - I knew about that sort of thing at primary school about 60 years ago. What I hate is the typical clock/thermometer having C or F by the temperature at the expense of the decimal place - I FW know which it is! If it were 23F in here...! The mantissa is useful for trends only, as the precision far outstrips the accuracy. I use a calibrated Hg-in-glass job to check the others and then note the error on the clock. -- Peter.
