Hi Dan
I'm away for the week which is just as well because its breaking me and that's coming from an amateur boxer!
I have pulled up all but one of the out of level tiles (7 x tiles) and removed the adhesive from 5 which took 4 hours. I had to stop because my neighbours complained of the noise (I live in a flat). So I have 3 left to do and one is still fixed so that's going to be a drama I'm sure as I have found the SLC is breaking up if I hit the bolster too hard.
Once I finish the donkey work I'm calling a tiler in to do the skilled stuff as I can't go through this again.
If only I patted my self on the back after finishing all the substrate work and passed on the tiling work I would have felt some achievement - unlike now.
Fair enough mate. I wouldn't worry about it, I think you're expecting a lot from yourself thinking you'd get it the same as a professional would. In many cases DIY-wise we find they're happy with saving lots of cash and putting up with a few lips but like myself, it seems it would bug you, and you questions it, got it confirmed that it wouldn't be acceptable at a pro level and to be fair you've done well in doing that. You'll have a pro job, and you would have saved yourself a few quid overall perhaps.
Don't kick yourself mate. You've done well.
Perhaps it's the boxer coming out in you
