    Default I've finally finished my bathroom!

    Thought I would share the results of my project with you all.

    It's taken me 4 months, but I think all of the hard work has been worth it. I used 600 x 300 Polished Porcelain (from CTD) and laid these in brickbond on the walls and floor, inlaid with small mosiac tiles as a border. Although it's been a long hard slog, I have to say that I wouldn't have completed (or even started!) it without reference to the advice on TilersForums, it's been an absolute mine of information and has certainly given me the confidence to tackle this project. Thanks must go to Dave, Grumpy and the regulars for making this forum such a success.

    I've added a number of pictures to my Album showing the results of my efforts, hope they are of interest.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Thanks for the compliments fella's, they're much appreciated

    I don't think I'll be taking up your kind offer Oli, you and your customers would be happy (eventually!), but I'd be broke!!!

    The kitchen beckons next, but that can wait until next year........

    Thanks Whitebeam, I finished the ceiling with white pvc interlocked panels. They're secured to the original plasterboard using adhesive and staples.
