DIY Tiler - 90 sq m of large format porcelaine tiling making me nervous!

[PJPro]

I've sorted it. I made sure the adhensive wasn't too runny and didn't put too much on. I'll probably do the same for the window header tiles.

I'm not far off finished now (the upstairs bathroom that is). I will post pictures but I've been more than a little busy. It isn't a perfect finish and I suspect that the pros on this forum could pick out a rash of issues. However, it's the best I can do and not at all bad. Moreover, I wouldn't have necessarily have gotten a better job if I'd paid to get someone in. Therte's plenty of evidence from disgruntled customers to support that comment.

And the plumber was sufficiently impressed with my work to ask me if I'd like to do his bathroom! As it turned out, he got someone else in.

Make sure not to mix the adhesive too hard as it will "Skim" quickly hence not bonding properly to the tile.

Don't mind me while I bump some old but popular threads to see if the topic is still active in some way. Wondering if either the original idea or original issue still exists. I've done this with quite a few threads, so don't be offended if this is just jargon these days and not applicable. But I thought there might be a small chance a small percentage of the small number of threads might just be slightly applicable and the thread could get a new lease of life.

Reply to this if you've read a bit and have something to say. 🙂
There IS going to be a bigger chance when i do this, that the thread is dead. So don't worry if that's the case, just don't reply to it, and we'll all move on and let the thread drop out of view again.

Bump

Just bumping some of the older popular threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
