baton out or cut in?

[Tomtiler]

thats the way i have been doing it for the past year or so.I find its a good method if the soil pipe is in the wall and not on the floor as trying to put battens up is a no no because of the soil pipe.

think you just answerd your own question why change somthings thats working for u

Walls first, floors last for me, all cuts done as I go.

Only use battens with heavy tiles, and I stick the batten with a glue gun.

just good to get different view points as it creates debate and this might help other guys who are wanting to ask the questions but feel stupid asking...theres loads of people on here who are like that imo.

Here's one for yous:

Do you tile a full wall before moving onto the next or work to a half(ish) height around the whole room first? I prefer the latter.

More exciting questions to come, such as, do you hold the trowel in your right hand or left hand when washing it. :lol:

I've done both, when I done the half way up someone could'nt understand why I done it that:yikes:

I tend to tile about halfway up first, get all the wastes etc done, and then it's normally an easy run in doing the last 1.5 metres or so to the ceiling
