I bet that cut around the door was fun for you

Actually I found the doors were fairly easy as I'd cut the bottoms out of the jambs.

The hardest one was a tile that fell around a base unit decor end: had to cut a 40mm slot 550mm across a 600mm tile, then cut again on one side of the slot so part of the tile would meet the base unit feet (just under the plinths / kick boards). So after cutting I ended up with a tile with just a thin section on one side - to say I was handling it carefully would be an understatement! Took a little while but got it first time thankfully.

To be honest I don't think the skill of a tiler is in the cutting though. I think it's more to do with planning out, measuring and marking accurately, and the background trade knowledge. Cutting them is not that hard is it?

hello, I'm an occasional poster but regular visitor. This was a very good thread, some great advice, no silly comments. Wish I could tile and/ or take nice photos like the O.P. does. Thank you.
