[doug boardley]

I'm telling Daz about how I learned, yes I was a beginner once too, albeit nearly 30 years ago:mad2:

Pythagoras Theorem

Daz, if you decide to do that just double check the main wall is square with the door wall. If you do an L shaped dry run it will be obvious.

i have a builders square so i will be okay with the pythagoros bit, but why can i not once squared the room work from the centre out to the wall

If your tiles are plain and it's a straight forward set, working from a far wall will give you more working room and lessen the chance of tile movement/contact whilst your'e installing.

if you do it in grids ,or quarters Daz, all it takes is oone joint to be slightly out of sync and the following tile joints will either bird mouth or tighten up. If you go in straight full courses including cuts, you minimise the chances of this happening

We stick to the rules here matey.
