Bathroom starts !

[Pocster]

Realised 10mm x 10mm edging won’t work as tile is 8mm thick so only 2mm play . Changed my order back to 20mm x 20mm . Looking at my ‘arrangement’ to plan it so it lined up exactly on tile boundaries would still be a job as my tiles run vertically - making it not nice .

So in a way I am a better tiler than @Nickfromwales as I have to deal with more difficult situations, he just takes the easy route by planning ?

 

"I have improved my skills at putting plasters on my nose by continually walking into lampposts."

 

Yes. That's logical.

Precisely! You confirm my belief ?

Admit I may not be up to date.

 

How far have you tiled?

 

Every competent tiler I have ever watched put the edging on before the last row of tiles.

“Competent” is the key word there .

Gone past the point of no return .

No more photos of the recesses until I can make them look nice .

Only way I could see to do this would be to tile AND build the stud ‘around’ it - I.e to suit .

 

Nope.

 

Plan and build the stud first. Calc for everything inc the joints, tile heights, thickness. Aim for a tolerance of 1mm or less and be happy if you get anywhere near it! Do pockets to suit tile size. 

 

 

 

Oh, and don't forget a scale model:

 

 

Then don't follow the model and find you can't actually tile very well...

[Pocster]

Well we have 3 methods then 

 

1) Nick method ( cheat ! ? )

2) Onoff method - scale models you ignore 

3) Pocster method . Swell those tessties and accept the mammoth task !

[Pocster]

Finished tiling the ‘feature’ wall 

[Pocster]

@Onoff in your recesses you use spot led , I have led strips . Wondering if you set the light at the back of the recess or right at the front? . Can’t tell from your photos 

[Onoff]

I have an LED strip along side the bath. It's tucked up behind. I'll try and find a section drawing but it was all PLANNED! ?

more prog rock than heavy metal

My LED’s are colour programmable .

I figure when SWMBO is in the bath 

 

white = F off

red = angry I.e see white

blue = maybe

green = go ! I’m on for a treat !! ??

@Onoff I’m still not sure about the leds and colours . Can you please supply photos of your SWMBO in the bath to “help” me ( it is Friday and Nigella’s not on yet )

You're not wrong. Room is freezing with no heating in there now. Then not enough HW capacity to fill the bath.

 

One day!
