    Default Re: wall running out

    When you centre your wall etc etc...take your vertical centre line from floor to ceiling and then measure across from the line to the opposite wall/s and see what the difference is..this will tell you what is out and where........and try to avoid working full tiles to corners if the wall runs out.....
