Cheers. I changed the orientation of the tiles compared to the floor as I couldn’t fit a star in as they’re enormous.

The top cuts should have the bottom of a hexagon tile in but that’s looked wrong so I put the same cut section of tile in both top and bottom.

This is what they were originally going to be like

Just noticed Ca’pietra are bringing out porcelain lily pad tiles. Damn sight easier.

Fitted the Lily Pad porcelain This week. So much easier and half the price of the cement version
This was the off Black. Plus you don’t have to wait a week to grout.

Have you got something going round the perimeter where the cuts are missing and where short about 30mm?

Behind the WC there’s a Basin waste going in, on the adjacent wall there’s a shower waste going in. I’ll pipe it all up, pressure test everything and then box in and tile. Just a small low level boxing.

I suppose I should pop this on here too. The last of the encaustic.

Just waiting for some Quartz to be cut to go in the niche.
