To prepare like you did Marc and Gary, was so important as without the planning it would have been a nice job and not a job showcasing tilers on the very peak of their game. The care and attention given to each tile, to be so precise in cutting, and then to have the cheek and downright skill to mitre to perfection so that even some tilers think it went back to a factory to be done. It would be so easy to overlook the fact basic skills of keeping tiles dead level and plumb on a large format tile has to be kept in check aswell as planning the pattern on walls to continue onto floor and the transition on half landings turning onto next set of steps genius! A job few tilers can produce but many can admire ;)
My sentiments exactly Ian and I've been saying that for a long time about this piece of art. It is imo a benchmark in skill, ability, will and care!

100% Marc, I'm very happy to stand by my remarks and again thank you for sharing this project with us all the way through.
I for one gained a lot of knowledge and confidence from what you shared.

I know you are, that's why I'm embarrassed haha
Embarrassed?
Like anyone reading this I've spent more time than I'd like to admit to myself scrolling the interweb for topical info.
In all the years of doing so I have to say that despite my best efforts I've been unable to find a tiling job as inclusive, interesting and informative as the said job!
Now that's simply a statement of fact, believe me I've hunted the web for jobs and I've never seen a job explained and shared aswell as this one.
That's me stating a fact and it's your doing not mine!
People with big eago's and small minds will shun at my comments I know, but sometimes we just have to say bravo! Well done! Nice job!
This is one of those occasions!
It was an outstanding piece of work from start to finish and I don't mind saying it!!
