Hi Guys,
Happy New Year to you all.
As promised I've uploaded some pics of the job that I've completed with the help of you guys here. I'm sure that it's far from a 'PRO' job, but the Missus and i are well pleased with it.
The tiles are 'Fired Earth' metropolitan. With your advice i purchased a 'wet tile cutter' and Screw-fix had an affordable Vitrex model.(impossible job without)
I decided on an 'off white grout,which had a touch of yellow in it,this i believe stopped it looking 'grid like' and gave a slight blend with the colour of the units.
It took me a lot of thought to work out how to 'set out', always trying for a balanced look.
When it came to grouting, I realized that this was not at all straight forward due to the beveled edge.
I scratched around my shed and found an old syringe, from my days as a maintenance engineer and presto. Mixed the grout as per the instructions and sucked it up.Then ran it into the gap,waited until it was a little 'off' and ran a moist sponge over.
Very pleased with the final result, although wasted a lot of grout, but saved a lot of time and hassle.
Now that the kitchen/diner project has finished I am now considering converting the downstairs 'privy' into a wetroom, steep learning curve, but I've got the plumbing covered, it's just everything else!?
Thanks again,
The Loony.
