for a job that is advertsised as diy easy peasy I found it hard going on the hands and knees, even with knee pads.  

Still it justified my acquisition of a compound mitre saw  :)

That's what it's all about after all. Anyone know how I can make it essential to have a metalworking lathe and a CNC milling machine to tile the bathroom floor that Mrs. KW has been nagging about for 3 years? ::)

Ask her if she wants crazy paving style tiles, if she says yes then get a CNC miller before she realises!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Tend to agree with you, but a proper wood floor looks really well in the right house, and an ordinary semi is not the right house :)
