You must get off on waiting then!

[CC45]

Nearly.....  How good are the pics going to be?

[Onoff]

Phew!...

 

They haven't cut too bad I guess:

 

 

 

Those 3 in a pack, flat, diamond files @Nickfromwales put me on to are great.

 

Leaves with that bit of "waste" in the middle from which I'd like to get another thin one but I need to remove the pseudo grout line...

Thank Feck for that!!! Progress, and you haven't peed your pants

I want @Onoff to do my bathroom 

If he starts now we should both finish house and bathroom around the same time.

[newhome]

His bathroom won't leak though

Ouch! Kick a man while he's drowning down why don't you!

[Onoff]

Six cut out of 3 tiles. All the cut edges dressed under a running tap so they're pretty damn good considering cheap ceramic!

 

I need 22 (maybe 20) like this to "border" the wet room corner. IF I can accurately wet saw the 3 offcuts I'll be up to 9 but that's a big if! At least one edge on each of these 3 I can score/snap/dress like these 6 I reckon. 

 

 

And there's the self doubt kicking in again or maybe lack of ale!  Pint No.2 is in order methinks.

[Onoff]

Scored, snapped and dressed the rhs of the 3 off cuts. Hmmm...from left not so good, fair then better.

 

 

Need to wet cut the pseudo grout lines off:

Bitches 

[Onoff]

From 7 full tiles I've cut 21 for the vertical mosaic strips that define the wet room corner.14 tiles with 1 factory edge + 1 cut edge and 7 tiles with both edges cut.

 

 

One of the tiles with both edges scored, cut & diamond filed.

 

 

[newhome]

When are you starting the actual tiling?

Not sure, but rest assured it'll take the missus by surprise and I won't finish...

Just off topic

do you think you should cover that mixer tap before you scratch it.

Nah, I hate it!

 

It's on a quick release mounting anyway so I can bin it and fit the one I wanted:

Yeah, but just LOOK at it! Worth every penny imo. £325 cheapest I've found it.

 

(It's a Vado Summit SUM-137 SUM-137-C/P by the way).

[newhome]

Christ that’s nearly 5 times hair and nails then! ?

[newhome]

Not a bad guess tho @Nickfromwales. Surprised you know so much about hair and nails! ???

[PeterW]

Wait a few months and you’ll be able to get one in a clearance sale as they have discontinued it ....
