Yet another BRILLIANT!! looking job Macten

If I were to be a bit PICKY!! and that's what I'm here for:smilewinkgrin: I would have tried to line those wall tiles up with the floor, this all depends on how the set-out goes of course and I'm certainly not putting the BRILLIANT looking job down, but for me to line that tile up would have gone from BRILLIANT !! to TOTAL SHHHHHWING!!!

That can happen when you do the walls first.

Cheers Mick - How would I have done that with the floor tiles being smaller and square?

Hi Macten,

Just from the pics it looks like the wall tiles are 600x300 and the floor tiles are 300x300 so I was thinking by moving the wall tile across so it bridged 2 floor tiles the joint may have lined up, so what I'm trying to say is if you have a larger wall tile you can still line the floor up on every second floor tile. Does that make sense?

I'll draw it if need be

 

[macten]

Get you now Mick. Will always look to see if that can work in the future.
