  Hi mate I’m taking out my internal door not leading to outside, can I just take it out and lay a bed of mortar on my floor boards? my house all the walls up stairs are breeze block on top of my floor boards, this is down stairs but under the carpet is floor boards with probably just breeze block on floor boards? Really appreciate any help mate

• 
  @SamDaviesBuilderКүн бұрын

  I’d always block off a solid base but if you have that upstairs then I suppose it’s no different. You’d have to make sure it’s a lightweight block though and not a dense block. You could make a stud wall if it’s just on top of floorboards?

  I don’t need to use spacers with these…I can get them perfect with a 12mm joint. You don’t need to primer this type of slab if you have a decent wet mix like this. However, if you’re laying porcelain then use spacers and use cement based primer on the back of the slab :)

  The arrows on the back of the tiles are there for the factory to calibrate their systems. If at quality check there is a discrepancy in the cut edge of tile the arrow will indicate which part of the cutting process is faulty. Nothing to do with laying direction of slab, although you can of course follow the arrows if you wish.

  Beautiful work as always buddy. The quality on the video is amazing. I can see that lovely mortar in all its detail. That is a very long retaining wall. And this vid is perfect timing as I’ll be starting the blockwork for my wall in a few weeks. Nice to see you’ve got a new helper. Hope he’s eager to learn from a master! Are those wall ties for the concrete to cure around to grip onto the blockwork? And that footing for it looks like a monster. What dimensions is it? Got to be 400mm deep like mine.

•

  Thanks! New GoPro so that explains the better quality. Yea Danny is turning out to be a quick learner but he’s going into the motor trade in September. Ties are to grip into the concrete backfill yea, just to tie it all together a bit more. I didn’t do the foundation but that is a huge pour and at least 400mm like you say, it was because when they dug out the first bit it was lower than the house next doors shallow foundations. I think the guy that did the shuttering and pour was glad to get that concrete in before any movement happened!
