[QUOTE="mp3wizard, post: 851685"] Just a quick note to say that I did put some tiles down last week, it was pretty much as you said, I used the slow set stuff, definitely would have been in trouble if I used the quickset, 1 25kg bag is used for 2-3 tiles, the levelling system does aid, but like you said you have to be pretty spot on as it can't perform miracles on it's own. We took things slow and steady, using chalk lines, cleaning grout lines as we go, marking out the spaces etc, very hard work to pull up a tile with adhesive if it isn't level, definitely using a lot of adhesive in different areas to try and keep each tile next to each other level. Another issue we had was cracking of tiles when using the manual 800mm tile cutter, we have had 2 tiles crack so far, it's taken upto 15 runs over the tile for it to crack in the correct place. I see why i got all of the concerns and warnings from people, I am happy with what has been done so far, I have worked extremely hard to get things right, and now I will only be able to do a bit each Friday and Saturday afternoons so to be honest it is going to take a long time, it's obviously a project that I have invested a lot of time in so I am thinking it takes as long as it takes aslong as I'm happy with the end result. I am thinking that it's best not to upload photos until I'm further along for now. [/QUOTE]
