It's Not Woodworking

[Stuart Ablett]

OK, it's not woodworking, but I do other stuff too!
We had some pipes repaired in front of the liquor shop, I did the tiles.
The plumber put too much concrete back in to fill the holes, so I had to bust a bunch of it out, not fun, but I got it done.
Used my new cordless drill to mix the mortar, it worked flawlessly, lots of power.
I'll cover this up for the night, and give it another wipe down tomorrow.

Nice job, Stu. Breaking out concrete is not fun and hard on the body. What did you use to do it? Power tool or hammer and chisel?

 

[Stuart Ablett]

Hammer and chisel, it was not a lot, but not a little, also the concrete is not exactly thick, and has water pipes under it, the three hatches you see there are for water meters, so I decided that using my rotary power drill in jack hammer mode, might not be the best idea LOL.
Cheers!

Looks good, Stu. Now you either need to get the new tiles a bit dirty or really scrub the old tile to match, lol.

I don't envy you and that concrete busting. AWK!!! You did a good job. But I agree with Vaughn. Get new ones dirty or get to scrubbing!
