I have to say Ray you's boys are quite a bunch!
From what I can see you's are definitely at the forefront of things, well done to all envolved and thanks for sharing this with us.
I'm sure all would agree that just by even looking at your work in action we're all learning small bits and pieces at the very least.
I for one have never worked with porcil thin so it's all a Marvell to me.

Haha there's me thinking you were working downstairs Ray, and all you were really doing was making my bum look big!

Uncle Ray paid a visit Friday and got stuck in helping out!
Which was very welcomed!

Cheers Ray

For anyone whose curious, as was @Protiler 68, this is how the mitred corners are formed.
U do need to work quite a few pieces ahead of yourself so that u know where each piece goes and that you can get it to match all the way thro.
And as in this case, u also have to consider, how it may impact the floor.

Starting with the whole piece cut each section to size and make good all the cut edges and then mitre them and make sure it all lines up.
This piece is eventually going to end up as the first full tile from the floor on the bottom fight side of the lift column.
These pieces have been prepped, all that remains is to fix the right hand piece to the column face and then cut the left piece to length to fit the reveal.

And this is it finished.

So I thought it was time to update the progress with the bookmatch project in North London.
It's painfully slow at times, trying to match things in when you can't actually follow the intended flow, mainly due to tile, step and tread sizes are incompatible.
So a lot of the time I'm just winging it! Haha
So here's a selection of images of one of the main floors, staircases and landings.
A few more to go yet!

All at different stages of progress.
