    Herringbone spacing concern!

    Before I complain to our tiler, does this spacing look right? We were definitely expecting a uniform grout line - grout will be bright white so I’m worried this will look a bit botched - when we’ve purposefully hired a tiler to make it look professional!

    Spacer and adhesive

    Nearly there ... sorry for all of the banal questions. .... two more though! 1) I’m using a 250x400x7mm glossy tile. Do I use a 2mm or 3mm spacer? It’s a small en-suite room. 2) will this adhesive be ok? (see pic). The instructions say it’s good for 300x600 but I know that larger tiles may...
