    Default Time Consuming Tiles!

    I'm working with 15x7cm brick tiles, like the ones you'd usually fit in a kitchen for a splashback. Im putting these in a bathroom, walls are 9ft high and its 88 tiles to a m2!!!!
    Im not getting anywhere with it, if I fit 5m2 in a day ive done well - plus im getting a headache starring at them all day! Whats the smallest tile you've fixed in a bathroom? (mosaics on sheets dont count!) does everyone else find it slow going?

    My entry for this months JOTM has got to be up there for me. Every mosaic needed taking off the sheets, marking and cutting into shape, took forever!

    The slate that Andy has shown above would prob have to come in at a close second... I hated using those pigs!
