just finished what was possibly the most technically(cutting and planning wise)i have done for some time.
the job its self was only 11 meters worth of 600x400 filled and honed trav with noche mosaics, the area was a feature fire place.does nt sound that bad really.
as it transpired only three of the tiles were installed with out a cut on them!!most tiles had multiple cuts on!!!

the fire place was a false wall with a hole through the middle and a display recess on one side.with display lights in both areas.with all the electric points hidden under neath so had to leave an access panel(that you could nt see) in the mosaics for any future probs.
two and a half days of cutting and mental headaches and she was finished customer was happy and i was shattered, more from all the thought and calculating rather than the physical!

i will post some pics soon and see what you all think!
