Tiling without batten

[df1777]

I've never used a batten, takes too long. I just cut one tile into as many slithers as I can and use them winner winner chicken dinner

Batten is much easier, removes a lot of potential heartache. If going without, find lowest point in floor, set your first tile, mark wall around levelling from this, measure and cut from this line, checking frequently for level and alignment.

Why does he need a batten with only 4x12 tiles? They won't slip and I'd be using ready mixed. Draw a line with a level half way up the wall if you want, spread it and off you go, just make sure you ain't got any small cuts. I should have a PhD

.... throw the batten out the window, watch the next door neighbours cat though
