Atlast! My 1st Floor tiling project. 6 days. 4 rooms. Porcelain tiles. 600s and 300s

[rudimm]

thank you every one on the forum for the help and advice, i wouldnt have been able to do it without you lot, especially DAVE. thanks allot
And thought i would come back and show every one who cared lol and asked to see some pics when im done.
i did the straight cuts with the vitrex 750 which was £100. it worked quite well. nice clean cuts.
and done the angled cuts with my little angle grinder with a porcelain turbo thin blade.
i was in two minds wether to have taken off the skirting, but i thought i wouldnt cos i had most of my cuts on the skirting end and knew i could cover them with sealant, im really happy with it all
and so is the gf which is really what matters lol
i went with the lithofin fz to seal before i laid them, and after grout, WORKED BRILLIANT thanks DAVE. and used the lithofin abra to clean the wax off the 30x30s. worked a treat.
I must admit it took allot of time cleaning and sealing
think it was 2 days. but tiling itself took me about 5 n half days.
Again thanks to every one who gave advice and opinions on this. It really helped me allot.
now im looking to sell the vitrex 750 wet saw if any ones interested.
I bought it for £100.00 new from bnq. I COULD TAKE £50 FOR IT.
but obviously pick up will be required. postcode is TS232PF. Stockton On tees

Excellent looking job mate - especially for a first attempt

I know blokes who've been tiling for 40 years couldn't leave as clean a job as that.....
