    Small cuts are unavoidable on jobs of that size..and that pattern..

    Perfect job IMO.

    Sorry Ed but thats a bit critical , the floor is a large area running through numerous rooms. Bound to be a small cut somewhere with that pattern.

    your floor is great mate
    i just said your eye is drawn to the cut in the hallway thats all mate, wasnt being critical as suggested..of course you are going to have small cuts in any tiling job especially when the patterm is random and the cosiderations are multiple. its a really well tiled floor. your happy with the setting out, the customers happy and all on here think its great too so ignore my observation. i really dont want to it to seem like i have put negative slant/view/opinion on your work because thats not what i intended :0)

    all the best mate
