    Mick - nice job!

    I see you have cut tiles into the corners and to the bath. Did you start with a full tile at the other corner? or do you have cut tiles into all the corners?

    cheers
    Dave

    It is always best to cut tiles into corners Dave. Walls generally are not exactly straight and plumb. If you try to run full tiles in the corners you will usually run into trouble.

    Thanks Grumpy
    I see in Mick's photos, the both walls appear to have the same size cut tile going into the corners.

    I take it for the left and right side of the same wall you work out what is a uniform spacing from each end so at least the cut tiles are relatively the same size?

    Not having full tiles in the corners explains why I had so many problems all those years ago. That is when I discovered the rule of "nothing square"
