  1. Nah look crap because you’ll have 1 constant grout line above them I.e the staggered effect is lost . My general rule which I just made up is that a particular tile must be consistent in use . Have faith @joe90 !!
  2. I did until @joe90 (expletive deleted)ing confused me then I start doubting what I’m doing
  3. Floor and wall tiles same thickness I think . You’ve lost me . Floor tile upstands flush with wall tiles - like skirting - won’t stick out .... ( in theory ! ) .
  4. I’ve run out of wall tiles . Also I think the wall tiles as upstands would look wrong if I understand you correctly ...
  5. Regarding the upstands . Some will ultimately be hidden by the bath - so I presume I can get away with middle cuts there ?
  6. I’m also guessing ( wall tile grout line 2mm ) floor tiles should have a wider grout line ? ; I.e 2mm is too narrow for floor ??
  7. You lost me . You mean on upstands ???
  8. Yeah - it’s a good weeks work for me . I’ll do as you say and I planned - whole tile path down middle of entrance then work left / right of that . So definitely do not use middle of tiles for upstands ??
  9. I would guess so like most tiles . That’s what’s concerning me with using upstands from the middle of the tile . But then again once I grout perhaps not visible at all ??
  10. How I can I tell ? I remember crying in the tile shop at the phone number cost per metre . Box just says ‘porcelain stoneware ‘
  11. Getting near to this point . So advice welcome . Have a decoupling Mat to stick down first . This is the bathroom entrance ; I’m standing in the hallway . Hallway tiles are different to bathroom tiles . My plan is once I actually have the door and frame to put an expansion strip under it to seperate the rooms . So will leave off the 1st bathroom floor tile as I can’t be 100% certain where door will be when closed I.e don’t want to see hallway tiles from bathroom or bathroom tiles from hallway with a closed door . This a sensible plan ? Regarding floor tile placement- I assume I start with a whole tile in the middle I.e same distance between wall and shower tray as in the photo at the bathroom entrance . This equally sensible? ? Final question . I’m going to have tile upstands at the base of the wall I.e the black floor tiles . If I cut each end of the black tile I’ll only get 2 upstands . But have the nice machined edge . If I cut the whole tile I’ll get 4 or 5 upstands but only 2 will have machined edge . Does that matter ? Unless one of you gits gets down on your hands and knees to look at the base tile ?
  12. Collectors edition.
  13. Roll with me - help me out. Jokes a plenty. Skills a limited ?
  14. Just a banker then.......
  15. Uncle Nick ! I know your tiling is cheap but surely not your jokes . On btw - Mummy says the baby is yours - sorry about that .
  16. @joe90 is a bit of a banker - you know; loads of dosh and stuff.....
  17. SWMBO busy?
  18. Admin we have 'like', 'thanks', 'haha', 'confused' and 'sad' options - how hard would it be to add "FECK OFF" option?
  19. I’m only on Season 1 - nothing else to watch as I’ve watched it all . I’m more Harvey - no spoilers please !!! ?
  20. This is the first year I’ve not been to court ( though there is still time ) . Usually twice a year on average . Ever watched ‘ Suits’ ? That’s me that is !
  21. But we need to fight first , then you take a look at the wiring , then buy some glazing . Busy day for you ! ?
  22. No idea why it’s done like that . Perhaps the ‘plan ‘ ( not my plan ) was a timer for when demand is higher . I expect they didn’t understand it’s a hmo and ( especially now ) demand for hot water can be 24/7 I.e shift work so not a simple boost in the morning type scenario you would get in a ‘family’ household . What I need is hot water 24/7 so the timer might be pointless BUT ( I remember now ! ) there are 2 elements so assume one is the timer the other the always on . Was installed 2 years ago - can’t remember!!!!
