Lining up?

[Rad2474]

I'm busy doing my bathroom and have done 2 out of the 4 walls,although i'm not sure but it seems that the grout lines aren't going to line up when they meet.Any suggestions?

Check them with a level, or see if you can borrow a laser level and check where it is going wrong. Have you a datum line running around the room to start from?

If you find that the tiles are going out by a few mm then you can usually make this up around a door lining as you won't notice it in the width of the door. No good if you have tiled from each side of door lining and are going to meet up in the middle, in which case you'll have to open up your joints between each tile a little bit.
Find out how much you are out by & then divide that up by how many tiles you have left in the course...if that makes any sense

did you do one wall then the 2nd and plan to do the 3rd and so on?

I always try and lay one set of tiles all the way around the perimiter of the room, if possible to make sure im on line!
