I intend to tile the walls before the floor leaving out the bottom row until floor is done,do i wait until the floor is down before i grout the walls at all or leave say the bottom couple of rows?,due to patchy grout areas etc.
Also i wanted to put honed & filled square edged trav on the floor but am worried that when it is grouted that sharp edges will be left !!,cos every time i've ever grouted the grout has always been a little under the tile edges,is it possible to get it flush?
 
you will enned to make the grout a bit stiffer to fill up to the edges on the floor and maybe leave a little longer before wiping off the excess,if all the grout is the same colour i would do it all at the same time or for an hour at the end of each shift,if the walls are lighter grout than the floor then i would make sure they are done before the floor or you will need to make sure the floor is dry and well covered:thumbsup:

Leaving the grout to set up properly and when washing off not to much pressure will leave full joints and as mentioned above not to wet or it might slump in the joints as it dries.
