any posts explaining tiling lingo or does anyone know of a website?

Yeah one in each corner and as Alan said above just make sure the spacers are set down in the joints properly so they dont stick out through the grout.

I have never left spacers in because of tile variations

So what do you do ? space it with spacers take them out as you go and adjust any sizey joints as you go ?

I use the leg of a space for the joint or wedges, some tiles tend to be wider at the back rather than the front, so bringing the leg closer to the front of the tile gives an even joint.

bal no longer recommend super flex grout for use with wooden floors ......should be wide joint grout with GT1 admix.

aph just had a look at your website must say im impressed with some of your bathroom pics, the 3rd bathroom down bath sin and toilet close to each other pretty much resembles my bathroom except the door is at the front instead of side. for the bath panel what kind of base did you use?

 

[aph257]

I attached No more Ply to the frame and tiled to that, make sure your tiles are not proud of the bath edge. There is an access panel at the tap/plug end which is siliconed instead of grout.

Yeah mate, I got that much but the way I read it was that whitebeam took he spacers out as he went to adjust any sizieness, the way you have it there I use sometimes as well, not often though because in my view it creates work, by that i mean the amount of time it takes to place 4 spacers instead of one, the chance of a tile slipping out of line increase, and then you have to spend time taking them out again, ok, if your not on price I suppose but most of my work is at the moment so anything I can do to speed the process up is money in my pocket.

can't say iv'e ever use spacers on a floor .........all you need is a keen eye.
