Ok, here's a bathroom I finished last week, did I do the floor first or the walls first? [emoji2]

Dougs Third Go

going back to start of thread and Timeless John's post, how I read it was the bottom row are cut, packed up from the floor to slide the floor tile under​, this is something I do regularly, you've got your datum line in place flip the tile on its back lower it down onto the packers, mark, cut and stick, simple really.

Spare Tool

As long as your first wall tile starts at the highest point of the floor, that's fine but if it happens to be under a bath your buggered...unless you've leveled the floor first.
To me a datum line is a level line roughly around half height of the room, not the bottom groutline...spoze thinking about it it doesn't really matter where it is on the wall but I've always thought it better off being over the bath and under a window to use it correctly...

Time's Ran Out

Nice picture Doug! Ruby in the snow. Still think the next one should be called Murray - then when your out on the hills calling them to heel it'll be Ruby Murray.

Back to the thread - we usually batten the first full tile up from the floor using a straight edge and something to wedge/support it, then either put the floor down and cuts down to floor tiles.

After purchasing 6 rubi stands along with some other tools from tile trader i noticed a few hours later on suretile that they are selling 5meters of tiletracker along with 6 legs and a free carrier bag! Im sitting here scratching my head wether to buy both now. I know some dont rate these products but IMO at these prices, sure why not have them in the tool kit. As for the thread, ill keep you all posted on how i rate these products if i break and buy both and use them.in theory they sound great but we all know what stuff in theory goes :(
