    Can I start tiling from the middle of a shower wall?

    I'm tiling my shower. I've got a pony wall and would like a grout line to line up with the top of that pony wall. Can I start a row of tile at the top of my pony wall and work my way down to the floor?

    Thoughts on quality of this tiling?

    This isn’t my timing but a professional installation. I’ve cherry picked the worst parts, but I’d love a view if this is acceptable or not? The wall tiles overall look pretty even, but up close some areas look like they have a poor finish, and in some cases the grout looks rough. On the floor...
