    Must admit I tend to use a laser nearly exclusively on walls now. Top of bottom row height, flip tile, mark cut to run in line with unlevel surfaces as necessary, and the essential tilers wedges to cover any minor deviations. Worked great until my laser went wonky and lost me 2mm every 3m Guess theres always room to make a prat of myself....

    i always work this way but my laser went too back to drawing the datum line for now, just that little bit more awkward to get your marks right.... all these gadgets dont half make the job easy. certainly miss em when theyr gone.
