[Stavs tiles]

Hi guys,

Done a weekend tiling course over 2 weeks and have a passion for tiling.

What do you think so far?

Looks nice but primer wouldn't have gone amiss.

Hope it's your own!

Thanks pdc, I did primer it with bal Acrylic. Have it a nice coat with a big paint brush. Ensured there was no dust and primed it with a nice coat

Gotta love a selfie on the job tiling is a massive art and I respect all tilers.

Looks good mate. I would advise doing full rows at a time. At some point you will come across tiles that vary in size and it makes it easier. I've had it today where there was a 2mm difference from tile to tile. With the help of spacers and rubi wedges I could split the difference and keep the rows as straight as possible. If your cuts at the side were all slightly larger tiles you would start to lose the joint. Not a criticism though, just advise

Stavs fair play to you for posting your first attempt, it all looks good. Heed the above post from @peteablard, its good advice. My two pence worth would be to tank 'ALL' wet areas. You will get some old school people pitching in that it's not necessary, but in some countries it's actually law never mind good practice. So as I said nice work and don't shy from asking us for any advice, we all were in your position at some point.
Good luck mate
