It involved a wet cutter on a whole row!

Must have been in a dream world when I set out, it is 2440mm high and the tiles are 297mm.I marked up a stick to check the room, knowing I worked out for a cut tile at ceiling and floor level.

but.
didnt check the top of the window! When I got to this I was 20mm to high. Didnt fancy a 20mm cut over the window so I cut the second row down to suit the window top. 20mm of the whole row.
Pwhat a plonker! Don't think you can tell?:sofahide:

I did the exact same thing last week! Although mine was about 40mm too high!?! No idea what I was thinking!?! Luckily I started on the window wall, so found out fairly quickly.. Had to pull the lot off the wall, and start again. Doh!
