Yeah but I like dealing with 1 tile at a time like a true pro ?

https://www.protilertools.co.uk/product/rubi-spt-premium-j-slot-diamond-blades-for-20mm-porcelain HOW MUCH !!!!!

Looking at protiler website - makes my Dewalt blade look cheap Any recommendations ???

? That photo with my feet make it look like a giga size blade !!

Guess you can’t tell visually if a blades blunt . The edges certainly feel exceptionally smooth !!! 50 quid a pop these Dewalt blades !!

Hmmmmm I’m not sure what’s going on here . The tile lifts slightly at the end where I push it in . Like the cutter is pushing down on the tile too hard . I would of normally thought a blunt blade ; but changed this blade a few months ago . A Dewalt blade so not cheap . Perhaps a different blade ??? Any suggestions ???

Haven’t tried that . Means adjusting the cutter though on every pass bit of a pita . Can try it though ?

Not sure what you mean ? A shallow cut first ( not through the tile ) then a secondary cut ??

The beast has suddenly decided to crack quite a few tiles right at the end . I try holding one side or the other when putting the tile through the blade - seems to make no difference. Platform and blade seem level . Any suggestions??

Neighbors will bitch no matter what . (expletive deleted) ‘em and just do it ! . They are going to hate you before the build , during the build and after the build anyway.

Been there

Hedgehogs are pricks ??

How many standing ?

Not sure what this is but I want one

This is why self build is even more important. I’m sure it exists but most self builders don’t build THAT crap . At one of my planning meetings I asked why such shite is allowed to be built by developers . They didn’t respond ; so I guessed as already mentioned ; quantity over quality ; which in turn maximises the developers return .

@flanagaj Typical council So it has to conform with everything even though there’s an entire mix of building styles . We had exactly the same issue . Firstly ignore the fact that the neighbors will object ; (expletive deleted) ‘em My solution to this was a design that took ‘elements’ of neighbouring properties I.e a nod to them . Similar roof tiles for example to ‘ blend ‘ it better . You have a nearby house with stone . Perhaps integrate that as a feature . Of course this is really for the architect to come up with .

Remember that classic saying “ Real men do it underground “

Go underground my friend . It’s the only way to get more space …

Is that a statement about a young music fan ?

No i emailed dimensions ( with no nib ) When I went in to choose granite guy drew a sketch and put those measurements on it . He added the nib and I didn’t notice I.e ask him to add the nib depth to the overall depth . So my fault I guess . Not to worry though ! ???

Ninja throwing star !!

Is it me or is it them ? Ffs Sill in . I gave them depth from window to edge of plasterboard because I didn’t know how ‘big ‘ the nibs are . They’ve cut it but included the nib returns in the total depth not added them . Obviously it will be my fault . Was thinking anyway if silicone along that edge looked crap would fit some nice chrome bead - guess I’ll have too now . Guess I can’t measure anything correctly ?

Yes be careful! . I’ve fingered a few rough holes before and have cut myself quite badly ?

I’d be careful round the rim you might get chaffing
