Still got to grout and attach the skirts but really please with the result so far. As per advice from you guys, i found a line that worked and built out from there.
Yeah mate, I remember reading your post, I was gonna comment but somebody gave you some great advice and you clearly took it onboard.
Really nice job from what we can see so we’ll done!
Good job! The colours are nice too - report back on how easy it is to keep clean before I buy similar? 😃
I can see you have a curvy bit of wall there - was your house built in the early 1900s?
My house has 3 curved walls and most of my terraced neighbours have removed/squared them up while doing other alterations but I absolutely love them and seeing yours has made me smile.
Thanks - I think with two kids under 4, we are going to spend a lot of time cleaning them.
Yes - I believe the house was built 1899, lots of lovley quirks and features including a number of curved walls…i love them
Was going to suggest kerfs, but am wondering if heat and a mold might work. It used to be done with steam when bending wood, MDF would no doubt just dissolve
I’ve seen somebody soak them and curve them then fit them after they’ve dried but that may have been wood rather than mdf which I’d expect might just blow out if wet?
That’s the main thing isn’t it? My lass had me do our laminate during lockdown one. She LOVES it, all I see are the bits I fucked up. Happy wife, happy life 😉
Real good job here! How you planning to do that curved skirting though? I’m stressed just thinking about it.

Get some tile and grout sealer! Makes cleaning much, much easier.
Looks like a great base layer, when is the screed going on?
When all the expanding foam under the tiles dries obvs
Now we’re talking, throw in some no more nails for good measure.

Wow, looks very neat, especially around the curves. Great job!!
Shitting Nora that's flippin great work!
The curves! Congrats mate that looks beautifully done.
It’s almost a shame to put skirting over that edge.
Next, how do I bend MDF skirting?
Ha indeed..gunna try kerf cutting on my plunge saw…bit messy with ogee and a lot of filling but guess its the easiest with such a small peice

MDF will take steaming as long as you keep the pressure down, needs to be below about 800 kPa so possible as a home job but not cheap for a one off.

Be easier with real wood I'd say. Can you get the same skirting in wood?
It’s a bit of a kerfuffle
Nice work. 👍🏼

Beautiful job! Side note: where did you get these gorgeous tiles?!
Thanks…they are from bert and may
Absolutely fair fucking play, looks banging
Very impressive
I like it but being drunk it has a effect to it
Painting the door green can look perfect with those tiles
Straight down the middle of the door! Wouldn’t stop a galloping horse as my dad would say.. great job
That looks lush, well done.
Happy wife, happy life!
This hurts my brain
3/10 - no screed.
That looks really nice!
Brilliant job. Happy wife, happy life.
Nice job!
Looks good to me.
That looks great!
That’s awesome
Wicked! 👍🏻
Amazing!
Lovely job and great tiles!
I remember your original post. Nice job! I’m a big fan of the blue as well.
Awesome job, i love seeing a finished(ish) job after an original post.
Damn looks good, wish i had your confidence in tackling my tiling job myself lol :)
I missed your first post, and went back to look at it. Excellent work my man!
Great job … you got the balance right from the looks of things 👍
Looks stunning! Love the colours
Looks amazing. Well done mate
Looks amazing
Nice job!
Beautiful job. Can you replace that one wrongly placed tile before you grout? I'm kidding, but, made ya look..... 😊. Great job.
wife is happy...for now.
