hi guys and welcome along to this how-to video
ricky hi ricky not quite the same as hi pete is it hoping for a better reaction
hey that's better these are the setts which
are going to continue around the perimeter of our tiles
all the way around there and around the sleepers so he's going to be working on
these today so to get these to work wow all the way
around with our three mil spacings what we're going to do is a nice little
detail like this so as you can see what he's done here is
cut a 45 degree angle and then we're going to put a small square piece in
here it's just going to set it off really
nice and it's going to enable us then to run full
sets all the way up all the way around the way these tiles step like that it's
going to take a little bit longer to do it this way but it's just going to
finish it off really nicely you know one of the things we pride
ourselves on is the extra details and this is one of those details that once
it's done it's going to look absolutely amazing so rick is going to
be on that today so i'll get a time-lapse setup of him
you can watch his progress
today i'm going to show you how we're going to route these sets in
we've already been round cleaned them all up what we're gonna use
some nice fresh water some sponges some nice clean buckets
obviously grouting trowel i'll show you how i'll mix it up
all right so i'm using this sprit flex premium grout
it's a manhattan color so it's like an off gray sort of color
it's the same as what they used inside the extension that we're doing
if you've been following john i'm just gonna make up a little bit unaware
because it's quite sunny and warm i don't want it to be going off
it's always good to keep adding bits of water into it because otherwise
you could end up putting too much water in at the beginning if you put the
water in the bucket first so this way if you keep adding you can
get it exactly how you want it
there you go now i've got the grout mixer i'm just gonna
work it into these joints here push it right in
get as much as i can
see i'm only going to be doing little sections
and then i'm going to be washing it off because he's got a rough edge on it
it's going to be really hard if i let it go really dry
to get off really work it into these joints
don't put enough in it will probably just end up cracking
over time or shrinking
all right so i've come back to these sets i've allowed the grout to go off
for about 15 minutes it might vary with other things with
like temperature thickness of the grout and stuff you use
i'm just gonna work this grout out now just try and get all the excess grout
off these sets just working around in a
circular motion you don't want to rub it too hard
because you'll end up pulling the grout out the grout joints
you will need to go over all this again because it can get quite dusty as you
can see i've been up there and doing it it looks
really good once you start this you can't stop
because you'll come back and it'll it'll go on it'll go off you'll be
scrubbing it for ages
there we go clean them all off i washed them down twice
look really good now they're just drying off
we've actually got some little pieces going in there that we've got made
which coming later on this week so that's it they're all in the
sets are finished all the way around the garden here you go here's our nice
little detail pieces that we were talking about we had them expertly cut
from swinson's masonry just around the corner from us
so if you like this video as usual please like comment and subscribe you've
