I don’t understand why a person in his right would sit around drinking plenty of piss. Is this an English thing or what? And back on topic did the dog survive was it hospitalized does anyone care.

For the sala part we removed all the tiles, for the entrance part we cleaned all to the soil, put new sand and gravel, then reinforced concrete covered with the new stuff.

the dog is fine. she was just a bit shaken up.

wallalai,

from your photos, it's clear that re-tiling is the only proper solution. norton mentioned it earlier, but i intially wasn't interested in the prospect.

i guess i'll have to give it some more thought.

Getting tiles installed in Thailand is not expensive at all.

2 pack polyurethane for exteriors is a good bet if you dont want to go tearing up the tiles and replacing them with non -slip.

Its not too expensive , is available everywhere , very hard wearing and gives good coverage.
Just mix in some pre-washed fine sand and away u go. The trick is adding enuff sand to do the job but not too much to appear unsightly.

This stuff is thick when mixed and holds the sand in suspension quite well , apply with a brush.

The 3 M bands from Home Pro lasted well 2 years on the stairs at my earlier place.
Just clean well with alcohol before applying...

It was exposed to sun and rain, no problem, a strip every 6 inch or so, quick and efficient, can be done before re-tiling to have safety quick...
