Wall first !

 

[kimboslash]

Tile walls first, unless you need to line up all joints for both walls and floor tiles then i usually do the floor first.

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.

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...

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.
