looks nice mate but why didn't you follow your walls through the floor, and canter the panel to the centre of the tray I presume there's a cubical going up

Walls are portrait & do line up with the floor tiles (only on the end wall of course). This does of course vary slightly at the edge of the room as 2mm grout joint on walls & 3mm on floor. Everything was the customers exact choice mate.....had the below plans to work to. I would have put them on the ceiling if he told me & paid me to!!!!
The only change he made as I was fixing was the layout of the bond of the tiles to the right of the mosaic.

Lol! How did you guess John!? He worked on the channel tunnel among many other famous jobs. Now retired.

hate it when some one gives me plans to work to I all ways ask them how long have they been tiling.

 

[John Benton]

mmmmm.......I wonder Geoff. Maybe its because I started life as a structural and mechanical engineer and I can smell them a mile off 🙄

the only plan I have ever done tile for tile is the one on my aviator as each tile was only correct in that position as it was a 5 x7 mtr ellipse. engineers do my head was he checking with his micromiter .

I did a job for a graphic designer and he had laid out the plans exactly the same tile for tile, but he wasn't that smart, he forgot the grout joints and had the window slightly out of position which in turn threw everything out, so I taught him a lesson and told him to go and buy 2 more boxes of tiles as he'd bought the exact number of tiles required

I done a subway with a pattern to follow, about 11 colours involved...someone got paid a nice sum for that.

Hahaha, same here.....he forgot the grout joints and said only 8 tiles would need cutting!!! 😀🙄
