JMB, I know a bit of music is very nice during work, but weren't you going a bit overboard by bringing your grand piano?

Really good work Brett , I like the detail at the door  thresh hold and the radius around the soil pipe .  Bet those MDF arches were a pain [big grin]

Nice work lads, some really cool details in there.  Especially like the curved rail around the toilet waste pipe.  Won't be seen but it has been done right.  Is the flooring nailed down ?  If so what did you use to nail it.
 
that manhole in the kitchen could have been done better imho. I was going to sat when i was there but didnt want to say in front of the customer.

To get nice ones is a real pain the the bum.. I got stainlless steel edged one but had to be specicially made up. I trust that is a double cover with a sealed and bolted one underneath.. just in case the worse happens

Otherwise some really nice work.. lucky customer to find you guys.. I very rarely seem to go into place in the UK anymore and look around and think that is a well thought out and executed job, a lot of carpentry is really really shoddy these day!

At the very least you think it could have been integrated into the flw of the pattern rather than taking a chunk out of it.
 
JMB.. I see you still have the fun job ahead of you of working out the doors for this (sink unit bottom left)  [big grin]

Its glued down using Sika glue.    The flooring has a minimum expansion gap of 23mm up to 30mm all round  well above factory recommend 15mm!   It did take ALOT longer because I had to go round ALL the rooms with the Fein Multi Master to cut plaster board to give more expansion room.

The Door frames threshold I have come up with a simple Idea which Ill be calling a relieve threshold! I aint seen or heard of this method before so like to think I came up with it!  [big grin]  

As you can see the flooring runs different directions in the room with the  Grand Piano and the hall way!    

Well its about 16meters long in total which made me a little worried to lay with out an expansion joint at the door threshold! BUT I hate having these T bar thresholds which stick up!    So created a 4-5 mm rebate on the floor leaving a 10 mm gab between the two floors  and sticking a 4-5 mm thick piece of oak 45mm wide as a fresh hold FLUSH I might stick some grooves in under neath the little piece  so that IF the floor expands the threshold will SNAP! Instead of the floor buckling up.    This can then be replaced no trouble.

What do you think?!?!

Its the Arch thresh hold.   I wanted to do it on all the door thresholds but the client said might be to much.   The grooves needs a little stain in them to darken the grooves up like the rest of the flooring so it will stand out more its because I had to cut the boards down I lost the edge.  Also the light holes need drilling in.

Yeah I hate the Manhole its CRAP!  Make it even worse the man hole housing is much deeper than the tiles SO the tiler just got bits of plasterboard and foamed them in the build it up so he could tile ontop to get it flush!  Now that is CRAP!  

But it dont mater really because they are having a big unit over the top of it to hide it any way!  As I DID say something to the client as I thought it was no good and needed redoing but she then told me it wont be seen as shes having some sort of unit along that wall.

Haahaa you noticed! Yeah I have been leaving that for a rainy day lol!   I have set my self a challenge der really with the double curve on the doors.   Not sure how to tackle it yet!  I want to be able to get my mould like I have on my Paneling in the bathrooms to be the same on the doors.  

Any way I can make them doors later client is more bothered about the main jobs inside the house flooring and fitting out the other two bathrooms which I aint started yet! and  UPGRADING the stairs to make them look more appealing not sure how to tackle that one yet! See how it goes! ill take pictures as usual.

No.   why should they of been longer ones?!?!    Did think about not using them but thought it didnt look out of place so used them any way.    Their is a double socket in the floor in the room with the grand piano  you can see it in the pictures
