Re: my first victorian style floor
If I ever get the chance to do one of these I'd like to think I'd have a go.
That skewy hallway would really put me off though.
Could you post a picture thread of this in progress telling us how you set out and the probs you encountered Mike?
Would be made up if I did one and it turned out like that.

here's a link to a thread i posted a couple of weeks ago and there's some pics of me starting off. it wasnt too hard as i had a centre to work from and a design (although it was too big for the floor so i had to alter it) my knees were killing me doing it, that was the only problem with the job! and as tenchman informed me i mitred the little red borders whereas they should have butted up. the floor needs to be really flat for these little tiles tho as there's 33 tiles between each of the 4 blue squares! thanks everyone for the replies
my job for next week!

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!!
