How best to Tile a room?

[Italy]

Hi Average,

Here's where I am at, I started from the third row on the right working my way to the bifolds, then moved along to the wall, on the left are the cuts, and the 4th row that's due to go on the right will be full sized tile.

do not use Pliers for rls?

no I've just been pushing in by hand, maybe you'd like to supply me some free of charge for demonstrating your system as this thread has almost 9,000 views!

looking good. do you have plenty on coverage under the tiles.

thanks, there's been plenty of obstacles and I'm sure there's much more to come so I'm not counting my chickens just yet, but I believe the amount of effort I've put in to ensure they line up and avoid lips by measuring with level, adjusting, even taking certain tiles up 3 times to adjust the bed of adhesive has resulted in a good finish so far.

yeh it's a thick coverage

large sizes, it would be useful to use the pliers, otherwise rls, become almost useless.

I could do with some advice on tiling the bathroom, I understand that it's best to keep the grout line the same going into the bathroom, as you can see from the photos this will mean a cut and also a small slither next to it, this then will leave me with cuts on every row entering the bathroom which isn't ideal. I was thinking if it would be worthwhile, ignoring the grout line going into the bathroom, cut a tile just covering the entrance, then I can run full sized tiles as you enter the bathroom and majority of next cuts will be hidden underneath bath etc. What do you think? what would you do?

cutting the tiles on the door, keep the line and departure with a whole tile.?

I wouldn't break the bond or take any tiles out of alignment, it never looks right in my eyes

 

[Flintstone]

What method and trowel have you been using?

 

[White Room]

Did you not set the tiles out to the adjoining room before fixing.

Well there couldn't be a tile placed in doorway as it wouldn't fit and it's a very small bathroom, not even enough for 2 full tiles in width so in this instance I don't believe putting a few tiles in there would benefit unless you were to cut them all out.
