brick effect

420/450 if its pretty plain nice days work then go bk and grout
I must be doing something wrong. There is no way I could fix 21m2 of tiles in a day, unless it was something like a straight 5mx4m rectangle with no cuts! Do you have a helper or something?

On the guage rod use a different colour to mark the brick effect lot easier to see where the cut will fall

no just myself m8, 21 m2 isnt a lot to tile if you think about, if its just the bath/shower and probaly a window maybe a pipe box to, if you start at 8am and work til about 3 it should be done by then, i usualy get my lil cuzzin to help me with the grouting thats about it


edit: when you work for a company that give a **** rate per m2 you tend to become quicker at what you do.

all the older tradesman i learned with would do this quicker than me aswell

a gauge rod or STAFF as they are known,is a long piece of 2''X1''LENGTHof wood which you mark with a pencil the size of the tile and spacer all along the staff,this then helps you when setting out.The staff can be easily adjusted and shows where the tiles will be on the wall.Simple but very effective,hope this helps.

21metres of wall in a bathroom in a day without asking if there is a suite in, how many windows or how the walls look is a pretty bold statement to make

2 days and grouted, make it a good job earn your 450 and it will be nice
