Tiles on the hall floor

Well I decided now the walls are plastered it's time to get on with getting some flooring down and make the house look like a home.

I have two places that I can place the flooring down on, the hall and the dining room

I want to get on with the laminate but I'm waiting on the plumber to move the radiator from the kitchen to the dining room to give us some more space out there.

So it's time to get some tiles down in the hall. It's a messy job but it needs doing, I purchased a dry mix of floor tile adhesive and it's not easy getting the mixture right.

I think I got there in the end

So I got the under stairs part down, what do you think?

I plan to lay the tiles then fit the skirting boards over the top.

Let's hope it looks better than it is at the moment.

The tiles are from Wickes

I took the plunge!

Ok looking in all the rooms I have to replace all the skirting boards in I have decided to get a mini circular saw.

I decided on a mini one as I have no need to cut huge bits of wood currently I need to cut a lot of 13mm thick pine wood at various angles to place on walls.

1st one I purchased was from Toolstation by draper it was 600w and cut to 27mm depth.

It looked to be what I needed, it didn't say if it did angled cuts bit it said max depth at 90 degrees so I purchased it.

On opening the box I found this plunge saw to just cut straight cuts  and allowed various depths so it was no good for what I intend to use it for.

I looked on Amazon and found the worx Wa429 it cuts deeper 46mm, can plunge and will cut to a 45 degree angle, video on the link. My only concern is it is 400watt and less rpm than the draper so it could stall when cutting.

It arrived Saturday in a sturdy looking hinged plastic box. 

Out the box it looks nice and felt quite light 

This is the back side where you can set the blade depth you require 

This is the front where you can set your blade angle 

These are the steel blade and the ceramic blade 

I had a quick go at cutting up some old wood at 45 degree angles and here it is not yo bad for a quick go
