Well ! I have no opinion whether floors or walls get done first . But I don’t want to do the floor first . Lots of reasons . I haven’t done all the drainage in the bathroom yet . Don’t have a bath so not sure where waste is going . Don’t want to risk dropping tools on tile floor . Worried bathroom floor tiles won’t be flush with hallway tiles ( planned to do them first ) . Bathroom tiles are different to hallway ones - I want the tile change to be under the bathroom door when closed ( so you don’t see the wrong tile from either side ) . Hot water and a sink on site would be nice , floor doesn’t help me there . Don’t want floor down as bound to get filthy . Regarding my spray painting . The result is fine . But can’t do whole house as it’s not finished ! . Too much gear / materials in the way . Trying to break it up into smaller manageable jobs . Using up materials and making space !

No boxing in just 1 small window . Will use that as a guide for at least what height tiles start at ?

Typo ...

I’m not a tight runt

No doing the floor ! That’s a whole new set of issues ! 1 problem at a time .

Ok - title slightly mis leading ! SWMBO inspected my ensuite effort so far , I was given the thumbs up ! ????? Unfortunately she is now delusional that my tiling skills are not finite ! And so forms her vision ..... The grey stripped mosaic tiles will run in a vertical strip floor to ceiling ( 2 strips in the bathroom somewhere ) . The pale tiles also run vertical but joints staggered ? So ! My assumption this is more tricky and therefore more prone to f up’s . For starters tiling ‘conventially’ i.e horizontally you start half a course up to allow for the bottom tiles to be cut to suit the floor level . No floor tiles are going down until walls done as that feels like a big job full of fun in itself . Therefore how do I start my strips ? I should of done a sh*t tiling job in the ensuite then SWMBO would of expected less ?

Looks like I did it

??????? I mean I wear each dremel fixing out in 1 minute ??

Got my dremel ! Manage to cut out those broken steel pins Decided to try and polish excess adhesive off tiles . Not only do I need a child to change the fittings but I guess I must be asking too much as I wear each one out in about 1 minute ?

Sure ! Lots of stuff I order in advance online . This I needed for tomorrow

BTW that large pink hairy mass to the lower right is my knee ?

The thing is my BM is local so obviously if I need it ASAP it's convenient . Also they usually only sell high markup brands like schulter ,Geocel entire range. So *choice* is limited.

Yeah it was expensive! I did frown . On the shelf price was some like £14.50 I’ll get it for less on account by maybe 10% To make up for the extortion I’ll nick a tube next time . Put it down the front of my trousers . No one would notice the difference ?

BM said this stuff will apparently stick anything to anything. I did ask if I could use it on SWMBO mouth . He said it wasn’t that good !

Normal ct1 not good enough ? So any tubed adhesive would be ok . Only mention ct1 as that’s whats to hand .

So on this wall return to the metal door surround . Just ct1 tiles to the timber ? . Assume that’s more than enough to hold them ( not very wide as you can see )

Not sure . I think the beading there shouldn’t say ‘ look at me ‘ unlike the profile edging . So perhaps plain white

That wall done . As tight to the ceiling as I can get . It’s going to be a dog to Mastik . Might find a simple white plastic bead to stick on instead .

Wee is nice . It spreads everywhere. Could be worse .... ?

Wee still goes everywhere. We all know everyone’s wee’s in the shower ...

Then it shall be so !!

But If I use trim on that wall won’t it look odd it doesn’t continue up the angled ceiling edge ??

It will surprise none of you that the levellers come out much easier on the same day they went in ? I Hope @Mr Punter likes his ensuite I’m doing for him

That’s true . I can actually see the difference in size and even thickness in my tiles . (expletive deleted)ing expensive rubbish . So stick a nice metal trim as tight to the ceiling as I can get ( whilst being level ! ) then tile upto it with my pro skills

That was my twin .
