Nothing at all wrong with the tiling, you've got that down to a tee, just a little more thought on the setting out and you laughing m8, don't be discouraged :wink_smile:

I am in no way offended it's good that people are willing to help others out, i appreciate all comments good or bad as it all adds to my knoweldge, i have just looked in the galleries to try and get a better picture of what you meant and sure enough you were correct and it does look better, not that i doubted you in the slightest, i'm now in a position to make it look better next time around, which is a good thing.🙂🙂🙂🙂

Just to add, If i was tiling a different floor and laid the center tile the way you guys have suggested and it left odd cuts either side of the room how would you do it, would you just accept the odd cuts either side or would you then move the center tile in order to even up the cuts at either side, hope i explaind that right.

Personally i would try and jig it around to leave good cuts all round, they don't necessarily have to be even cuts and you don't always have to start with a tile or a grout line in the centre of the room.

Cosidering there is a couple of ways of doing it, would you give a cutsomer the choice and try to eplain where cuts were going to be, or would you just lay them the way you thought was best, (just curious).

Doesn't always pay to give a customer too many options, in any trade, half of them 'expect' you to have the answer anyway.
Basically, if some options can generate more money for more work then fine, but if the options generate more work ie: small cuts for the same money, go for the one that suits you and still leaves a good proffessional job.

Nice work there mate, done yourself proud.🙂

I agree 100%. Might make you look like you don't know what your doing if you start asking the customer if this would look ok or that would look ok, at the end of the day they are paying for your knowledge and expertise.
