    Lining Up Walls And Floors

    Who does it whenever possible? I do sometimes but I rarely try and match all 4 walls up with the floor. It often compromises the set out of the walls. Do you try and match up the end with the width with using 60x30 tiles?

    Bad Walls

    I've started ripping out this bathroom and the walls are bloody awful. Tiled over plaster( a bit like bonding covered with the Spanish equivalent of Artex). I've got off as much of the plaster as I can but here's my quandary , I've got 60 x 30 porcs to go up. What would be your preferred option?
