Yes Papa

I am doing it in work but the boss is a nice guy
Its me lol

I run a shop fitting company back here in Northern Ireland
the insulation is great stuff to carve and sand just not sure how to finish it

Don't really want a grey grout finish I really would prefer a gold and red sand mix of colours
