Spot on, Nobodys perfect and as I keep hearing people say these days "you learn on the job" all I would say is keep at it fella but practice a little more before dealing with paying customers and do all the reasearch you can, which in all honesty is why your on here so your heading in the right direction anyway. On the bright side I've seen worse.

it looks as if he has used 2 different format tiles

I think he needs to have his say,

Iirc he's finishing off work someone else started, he posted a few weeks ago about finishing off work a mate had started or something, im sure it had the same pic.

**goes to look for thread**

Here it is....

Tiling in an archway - Need Advice

Maybe his mate mucked it up and called him in to finish /sort it.

[Dave]

I have seen worse before as well...

Tilesmasher if you can come back on and explain your setting out process etc and then maybe we can help and let you know where you went wrong.....i know some of the comments are a bit harsh but it is constructive.....

Please reply and then we can help you ..either put it right or give advice on how to avoid it next time.......

No I wouldn't Gaz mate. And I know you wouldn't. The fact that he has posted the pic indicates that he wasn't aware of the problems picked up, so it is correct that we point it out.

Was just asking for people not to be so tough on him with sarcasm or scathing comments. If he has seen what has been written he may well be very wary of coming back on to comment and that is not what the forum is about.

Come on guys give him chance to learn from us and give him guidance on ways to correct it. If he thinks there is nothing wrong with what he has done and disagrees with us, then crucify him.

please come back on-do you have anymore pictures?
