Ferdinand Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Why are you making "bullsh*t" signs at yourself? If anything I use a carpenter's soft pencil, and look at the far end of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 I've been marking with the Sharpie then in effect keeping the blade within the Sharpie line. Works well. My eyes are that crap I have to ditch the glasses and cut with my face a few inches from the blade / tile. I need that "definition". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Goggles WERE worn! The rips to do top & side. Going to be a pita on the tanked (blue) wall where the basin pipes come out. I don't think when I tile the basin area they'll come out far enough to cover the skinny gap! The next trims I put on will go on with clear CT1 not mitre bond. Too unforgiving for an amateur like me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'm still thinking I could have got away with the 4 tiles to the right of the window being one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain’t that supposed to be done with the tile to the right? After busting two L shaped ones earlier that were bigger I didn't chance it. The saving grace is there's a blind going there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
