Lining Up Walls And Floors

I agree! Lining up the floor with the main wall, is great, and normally no compromise, but lining the floor up with all 4 walls normally ends up with the walls having very odd cuts at each end and not looking great
bloody rubbish, never had a problems lining up and look right everywhere

Let's be right, every job is different and there is no real certain rule. A lot of matching tile jobs I do are wet rooms which I like the joints to run through the centre of the trap in both directions.
first choice, fit wet deck yourself, If not, you should tell that person, whoever that is, the position you want the drain to be.
if this can't be done then you have two real choices, set out with joints running though drain centre or full tile over drain, this could be moved around slightly to help with wall setting out.
as a last result the tiler could recommend mosaics on the deck and set out ignoring the deck and drain.
 
I stated this thread for topical conversation and thoughts, not to be told I'm in the wrong, and this is what I should do, and frowning on my opinions.
 
@local tiler ,
don't let it get to you mate ;0)

if you put something out there on a forum, its gonna go in 3 directions.
Praise, criticism or an alternative opinion.

my advice would be this,
1. don't get carried away with the compliments,
2. don't get pi55ed of with the criticism
3. be open minded to the alternative opinions

it'll all be history tomorrow ;0)
