..........yeah right, who am I trying to kid!!! Another class there Marc! Quality

Hahaha I make u right Geoff!
There is!
Trust me!
It's clever photography! :rolleyes: Haha
No, seriously tho. It's been an enormous learning curve, of that u can be sure!
Even tho ALL the principles are the same, nah they're not! Haha
When u have only one tile that spans the whole width of the wall, scribing it in becomes a whole new ball game! Haha
This tile I trimmed 6 bloody times before getting it right!
But that was the easy bit! Haha
The hard bit was the trip to the garage every time, to trim it! Slowly!

And this was tile.

I averaged between 3-4Km a day according to my iPhone health app! Hahaha
And mitred cuts like this, certainly make your brow sweat!

Yeah the second one was a bit of a setting out **** up, but I did set it out by photographs only.
Just would of been sensible to check it once on site!
I was just cocky and didn't bother! Haha
So yeah it's just tiling, but let me tell u something,
It's NOT! Haha
And my complete respect goes out to all those who use this kind of format on a regular basis!

A very nice job but I do have one question (and this could be just because of the way it is photographed) why have you cut around the window wall pieces and not laid the window wall pieces last? Surely the cutting would leave more room for error doing the side walls first?

Fantastic colours on the tiles, very authentic looking indeed.
Room for error? What D'u mean error? Hahaha
They're 4.8mm thick, there's no room for error!
Anyway, I don't do error! :D

There was no particular rhyme or reason, I just did!
