After a few bottles of Stella all walls look flat.
Preparation? Go to Tescos, buy a 24 pack of Stella. Give Bin Laden a wave. :hurray:

Actually - if that is your first tiling - thats a good job. In fact it would be good if it was your 101st job - hence lack of criticism on this thread for anything except using dispersion addy and drinking Stella on the job. :lol::lol::lol:

Setting out looks sound, not sure what other options were around the door area to get rid of the bit of a slither up the side there but it does look sound as it is IMO.

I think I'd have ripped out that skirting board thing near the ceiling though - or whatever it is, doesn't look right in a picture to me, perhaps it doesn't look too bad in real life? Seems strange to have not bothered unless it does serve another purpose?
