Great idea to do that Marc

That day setting out the scale model will save you days on site, easier to be able to cut a little bit of paper incorrectly than a large tile.

Ok so back to our little job :) cos u haven't even seen any progress yet! :rolleyes:
There was the usual slow start, finding somewhere to store gear and the 2 tonne of adhesives and levellers and so on, and hopefully not too far from where we were working.
Then there was the tile delivery, if I'm not mistaken (Ray can put me straight if I'm wrong) a 150kg approx per box of extremely fragile tiles.
Whilst we did have some help, well we all know how site labourers can be with 'fragile' goods.
And there was about 5-6 sets from memory, oh 2 boxes per set.
So heavy work.
And fortunately no ones gonna try put a box under their arm and walk out with it! Hahaha
It took a few days to settle in and get up and running, but we got there.
So we're a couple of weeks in and things have been less than smooth haha
But that's work for you.
Not from our point of view, we've been pressing on where we can, we just haven't always been able to. But we've all been there.
So I spose I'd better put a pic or two up then! Haha
So this is the result from the model, well partly.

That's excellent Marc, like the saying goes, anyone can tile it's easy.....not!!!!

They must be paying a hefty fee in labour costs cos that is real skill to tie all that together

I think it's rare u ever get what it's really worth John, when working for builders at least.
But we muddle thro and hope we get it right.
And thank you, we're doing our best, and u haven't even seen Gary's staircase yet! :rolleyes:
