Just been in there for a shower in the wet room corner.....15degC. Not saying it's cold but a polar bear ran OUT. 

 

Please, take her. 

Can you FedEx her too me ? I’ll pay for delivery . When do you want her back ? , oh yes , please specify if you wish her returned whole or in fragments...

Couple of pics of the underlying detail where the LED strip is:

 

2 strips of ply to give depth:

Then a capping piece. Sort of forms a shelf the LED channel sits on. Tbh it's sat up there "loose" 'ish:

Back to back trim on the capping piece:

When you're lying in the bath you can't see the strip, you just get a "glow" washing the mosaics.

For reasons I now remember! Toilet flush plate a little to recessed ! . Don’t have any geberit flush plate buttons to hand but assume I can extend the presumably plastic plunger . Reason this is so recessed is I had problems getting the waste in as right next to concrete lintel on one side and ufh in screed on the other .

The Geberit mechanisms look complicated to start off with (imho), then when you've figured it you wonder why anyone would do it any other way!

I swear one corner moves ! ( outside the shower area ) . Not like in the video though - perhaps a fraction of a mm . Or my eyes are tricking me !!! . I need to walk away from the tiles .

I was confused how he suggested water / vapour can get behind the tiles ( assuming no gap of course ) . Surely that simply shouldn’t happen ?

Right ! I’ve knocked the corner of every tile ffs ! . One is hollow . @Onoff stop putting up these tiling horror movies ! They scare me too much 

 

Pre grouting you can use maybe use this if it bothers you:

 

 

Tbh you can even do it after grouting which is what I think it's really meant for. (You drill a hole in the grout).

I’m not worried ! But yes ! If my floor was like that with movement- it’s a good thing to be aware of

My sister had her bathroom tiled like that, I could have done better with my feet!!! (She didn’t want to ask me as she knew I was busy) I found her a “proper” tiler.

I think that video was one of Nicks efforts when he was on holiday in the USA.....

Doh ! . For reasons unknown I put 2 tiles in the rear of the recess . If I just rotated the full tile would of got rid of the grout line . What was I thinking !!

If SWMBO says nothing then that’s good - if she mentions it I’ll just stick a tile on top ! . Those ain’t coming out an easy way . 
Must be getting tiling fatigue syndrome ( TFS )

Are the angles going to lap over the 4 tiles that line the reveal?
