Thanks Dave, it can make a very nice floor, but can be a pain to fix. I just noticed in pic no two, my boots are in the doorway. I was wearing overshoes.:oops::yikes::lol:

You know what Phil, i have gone years where nobody wants slate.. used to popular 10 yr back but it is trending again... have yet another slate floor before xmas..

3 in as many weeks... how times change.. and that is a lovely floor mate..

We used to lay hundreds of metres of slate about 20-25 years ago too. Most popular for commercial work was a hard black slate called silver blue. Your right though Phil, just the nature of the stuff makes it a little more effort to lay, especially if you get a few crates that range from 5mm to 25mm.:yikes: I've actually been able to split the really thick ones on the odd occasion.

I would think that after a while the white rectangles would start to look like they're coming out of the wall at you :smilewinkgrin: Nice neat job though.

A very good standard for DIY, couple of basic errors with the setting out but, all in all, a good job. Well done :thumbsup:

A job I finished today, what I can't understand is why am I tiling a little fire recess. When the customer has just had a full bathroom walls and floor. Plus kitchen walls, and a large kitchen floor tiled. This "Professional tiler" has laid all the floors on T&G floorboards, and the whole lot is coming up, loose tiles a plenty. Should imagine the walls were dot & dabbed too. Is this what we are up against?:mad2:

Bit of work for you in the near future though Phil. Nice little job that fire place, did you get to choose the design?
